GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week

SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier
Hey Mike,I'm really glad that you are enjoying the 07x in your system.  Last night I wrote my review for Stereo Times on the Coda 16.0 amplifier.  Hopefully, it will be published in the near future.  The reason I'm sharing this is the combo of the... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Hey d2girls,Don't really know what you mean by "lightweight", the #16 has a much bigger power supply then the Pass Labs amps you mention.  I have heard the wonderful Pass Labs amps and the Coda performs at that level and does some things better fo... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Because of reviewing a new piece of gear that is balanced, I changed out my loom of RCA interconnects and went to a full loom of XLR cables because the Coda 07x preamplifier and the #16 are true balanced designs.The system sounded great being run ... 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
Hey facten,As I mentioned in the review I have had many DACs that cost at least double the amount of the Audio Mirror piece in my system for review and the SE III out performed them in two key areas.  1) Spatial qualities like image palpability, a...

Tekton Impact Monitors
Hey tyray,Remember, the DI Monitor is rear ported.  Therefore, if you mean by "bookshelf" that the speaker would have virtually no space between it's ported back and the front wall, it won't function anywhere close to its ultimate level of perform...

Preamp for R2R DACs
Just get the smallest Schitt preamp, it costs around $400, and it will provide the volume control you need. 
Review: Threshold 400a Amplifier
I have a pristine re-capped 400A, a later model with an ICE input, that is part of my collection of Threshold gear.A good friend who loves tube amps, builds his own and their are quite good, burrowed the 400A just for fun to see how it would sound...

GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
Yesterday, the owner of a great store in the Chicago land area, Toska Audio, and his wife came over to hear the system being powered by the Coda 07x and #16 combo.  Pete at heart is really a "tube" guy, he wants liquidity, warmth, and full bodied ... 
GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week
