| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab George,The CLX is not an easy speaker to optimize. I had concerns regarding whether a single AHB2 amp could properly drive the CLX and like you whether the doubling of output impedance would pose a problem in regards to the very low impedance the... | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week I have spoken with Doug recently and he was kind enough to explain the changes in going from the 15.5 to the 16. First, the low noise input devices first used in the No.8 are incorporated into the input circuit of the No. 16. Second, the capaci... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab Kstaken,I have had the Nordost Heimdall 2 interconnects and speaker cables which I have subsequently sold. These cables have a definite sound of their own. I used the Audioquest Niagara solid silver interconnects which I thought were more neutra... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab Maplegrovemusic,Thanks for bringing the Schroeders review to my attention. I shall look it up. | |
| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab Thank you kstaken again for your thoughts on the Benchmark/CLX pairing. I have had a number of amps and preamps from Krell, ARC, Pass Labs and Constellation. Having had Quad ESL's with careful component matching, ribbon tweeter and woofer which ... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 amp and full range electrostatics, e.g. CLX or Soundlab Thank you for this feedback. I have Anniversary CLX's and had a concern regarding the ability of single amp to properly drive these speakers and the higher output impedance of the amps when bridged. Are you using a Benchmark preamp with these a... | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Teajay,Do you have any information on the new Coda single chassis amp that you are expecting? | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Teajay,I recall that you have a Cod No.8 amp as well as a number of other excellent amplifiers. Did you notice any synergy between the No.8 and the 07X preamp or did the preamp interface equally well with your other amplifiers. Also, have you no... | |
| Comparison of Analysis Plus Big Oval or Silver Apex to Nordost Norse 2 speaker cables jwpstayman,Good point. Speakers are electrostatics -CLX. Amp is solid state, currently a Coda No.40 - 400 wpc. Full range electrostatics appear to do best with low inductance, low capacitance speaker cables given their electrical characteristic... | |
| Kimber KCAG versus Nordost, newer Kimber interconnects, etc I would like to thank all who responded to this post. I probably should have been a bit more focused in my initial statement. My standard for tonal neutrality and transparency were my previous Quad ESL's powered by my highly modified ARC tube am... | |
| Coda 8 amp I might add, that the No.40 and I presume the No.8 will clearly let you know what is happening upstream with components, power cords, interconnects, etc. You will also hear the effects of the speaker cable/loudspeaker interaction clearly. | |
| Coda 8 amp Hi,I have a Coda No. 40 amplifier with the newest low noise input transistors which the No. 8 has. The No. 40 is a similar design to the No.8 but has more output transistors, and a larger power supply. I am sure Doug Dale at Coda can give you th... | |
| Kimber KCAG versus Nordost, newer Kimber interconnects, etc Elizabeth and jond,Thanks for the suggestions. I do remain interested in the Nordost Leif series given my experience with the Heimdall 2 speaker cables. There are a number of more current interconnect choices and often it comes down to specifi... | |
| Effect of Speltz Autoformers on Sound Quality Thank you for sharing your experience. I suspected that a long length of any wire would have an effect. | |
| Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Teajay,There are a number of Audio Archon power cables. Do you have a recommendation as to which of the Audio Archon power cables high work well with the Coda No 40 amp - 400 wpc Class AB.Thanks. |
