| Luxman vs Pass Labs I talked to a dealer of both luxman and pass labs and he mentioned that a bunch of people were coming in trading their pass in for luxman. One guy apparently traded in his XS300 for 2x m900U ! And one a pair of 260.8s for a single m900U.I myself h... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Point well taken. Its the totality of the ingredients and the 'baking' or overall design that will dictate the end result.For me the no 8 is a natural competitor with the X150.8 since they have some similar specifications. I think i will buy one ... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier I wonder if 1 reason the coda 8 sounds so good are some of its components?The filter capacitance is 80,000 uf, peak current is 100+ amps and transformer 3 KV. In comparison even a pass 350.8 is 80,000 uf, peak current of 35 amps and transformer si... | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Oh wow didn't know he sold Kinki LOL. Also maybe his speakers were darker sounding too.@teajay Did you hear the old 15.5 amp? How was it vs the 8 and 16?Have you decided to buy the 16 and have it in your reference system? | |
| Luxman M900U any experience ? I was talking to some dealers of both luxman and other brands like pass. And I was amazed to hear people with high end pass labs trading for m900u! Some guy traded his XS300 for dual m900U and another dual X260.8s for a single m900U! Is the m900U ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 LOL. Ya I think if I hook them up I'll turn my volume dial so incredibly slow while sweating bullets lol | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 So I sold my brystons and looking for a new amp. Mainly considering pass (X or XA), Luxman (m900u or 509X) or CODA (no. 8 or 15.5).1 interesting possibility came up though. The Sanders magtech monos. I have a local seller on them for a good price.... | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs Update so I lost out on the sale of the 250.8, sucks. Debating on coda vs pass right now.I am curious about the 4b3 though and how good it is and also the 14b3 which looks like a power house! | |

| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @teajay how much better is 16 over 8? Does the 8 get close? | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today I wonder though if the speaker is barely leaving class A, would we really get much benefit from the 16 over the 8 ? | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today "I have heard from other No. 8 users that this amp rarely leaves its Class A rating and if that’s the case, wondering if adding more filter capacitance to the No. 8 would bring it closer to the sound of the No. 16 without the added weight : )" Yup... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @rlovendale when you say new input stage are you talking about the low noise input transistors ?I wonder would a stock 15.5 have many upgrades over a number 8? I mean I know its a very different amp with more capacitance, more current?Used 15.5's ... | |

| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier @teajay Did you find the no8 at the same level or better than the XA60.8s ? |
