| CODA 8 V1 The CSiB is the 07x line stage and No. 8 in one chassis. Great value. I've heard the CSiB, 07x, No. 8 and S5.5 in various configurations in my home. Never heard sound quality that I would even remotely describe as dry. | |
| CODA 8 V1 I've owned both the Coda No. 8 and S5.5. With my speakers, Fyne F703, I prefer the S5.5. It has replaced a very expensive class A tube amp. Far less heat (important to me as I live in the Arizona desert) and better sound. My final amp purchase. | |

| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) +1 Legacy. | |
| ??? What Is Your Favorite Speaker Finish ??? Rosewood. | |
| Chinese DAC's @ecat026 Head-Fi is one of the best forums for Chinese component discussions. For example, this Gustard X30 thread has been popular lately. Gustard X30 DAC | |
| Chinese DAC's @panzrwagn +1 and nicely written. | |
| Best ear plugs for both sound quality and reduction +1 I had my audiologist custom fit a pair of Etymotic Custom Musicians Earplugs with three attenuator options for different applications. I believe the 15db, mid attenuation one has the flattest response. I don't believe there is a better option o... | |
