GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Hey Lance,So glad to hear that your "sore back" was worth it because of how much you are enjoying the #16! The #16 is completely grainless with an overall liquidity, is the quietest SS amp I have ever had in for review (that's way you are hearing ... | |
Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier Hey smodtactical,Great question. My explanation would be two fold: 1) Coda does not seek reviews where you have to buy advertising or other types of incentives to have a review done. 2) Coda is beloved and sells tremendous amounts of their gear in... | |
The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC Hey arafiq,No worries.Since, I don’t care about handling hi-res formats-only care about Redbook, and have validated for myself that if you drive the Balanced Pagoda single-ended you take away some of it’s "magical" performance. Driven single-ended... | |
A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar Hey mitch2,If you go to SPL's website and look up the reviews on the Volume 2, it will take you to the Six Moons review where there are numerous pictures of the inside of the device and descriptions of the components used in its circuit. | |
A world class volume control for pennies on the dollar Hey George,I have had the Goldpoint in-house historically, performed OK, not as good as the Volume 2 for about the same money. Also because the Volume 2 is active/buffered, there's no concern about impedance matching and its just as quiet as a tot... | |
The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC First: To answer arafiq's questions. 1) If you can't run the Balanced Pagoda, balanced it will not give you its best performance.2) I have reviewed both the Orchid and the Tubadour III SE. If you can afford the up charge of $1000 for the Audio Mir... | |
The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC I could be mistaken, but I thought that you do get a trail period from LTA and can return the piece if it does not work for you. Sorry, if I'm mistaken, I'll give them a call tomorrow to make sure which is correct. I totally understand arafiq's po... | |
The Mhdt lab Balanced Pagoda DAC Hello everybody,Just wanted to share I’m coming close to writing my review on Balanced Pagoda for the Stereo Times website. I have spent much time with it, in two different systems. I have in-house two other very highly regarded DACs for review, o... | |

GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week Hey smodtactical,If you order the #16 without meters it retails for $13,000. I still love my Pass Labs XA-60.8's. However, for the reasons stated in my review, the #16 is now my reference amplifier in my large system.Also: scott888, forgot to incl... | |
CD Transport to pair with Audio Note DAC 5 - suggestions? Hey bigkidz,I use the Jay's audio transport though a Black Cat balanced cable in my large system. | |
Bricasti M1 vs new M3 Hey rsf507,My review on the M3 was submitted to Stereo Times website and hopefully will be up shortly. It's a superlative music maker. The M3 has the new and latest upgraded board and is a significant improvement over what you have in your M1. | |
CD Transport to pair with Audio Note DAC 5 - suggestions? Hey mpsharkie,Right now I have in-house a CEC double belt transport and the Jay’s Audio transport MK-II. As I have stated on other threads here on AudioGon the Jay’s has the liquidity and ease of the belt driven transport, and adds more transparen... | |
