| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Minotophase3, Congratulations, you will love the S5.5! I'm driving 93db 4 Ohm Clayton Shaw Caladans with it, and the Spatials should be amazing as well.....love my combo | |
| The time has come and I request advice... The Pontus II 12th isn't (and won't be for some time) the limiting factor in your set up......it will be a very good pairing with an updated streamer | |
| Not enough outlets The problem with some of the strips is that they use the same OEM low quality cables as you probably already have. Cullen Cables makes very nice power boxes with an upgraded cable, and nice receptacles.....hand made in the USA and a great bargain.... | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? the_nick, Let's go Hokies! Feel free to reach out any time, love to talk audio | |

| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? Owain, I did not play the 10Hz files, as my streaming set up was disconnected when I changed my equipment to a different listening room....I tried to find the CD, and it was not available anywhere. I ended up ordering the "Isotek High Resolution ... | |
| Giving Advice without recommending your own equipment Oh, and I forgot to mention that you guys turned me on to CODA; otherwise I never would have known about the absolutely brilliant CODA S5.5 which now sits in my rack.....and for that I will be forever grateful. That amp is amazing, and in my mind ... | |
| Giving Advice without recommending your own equipment Carlsbad2, If someone is looking for a recommendation, of course it will be something excellent we own or want to own; or something we are aware of. To me that's the best kind of recommendation. I became aware of Aric Audio, Clayton Shaw, Anti-Ca... | |
| For the love of...kits? Falcon Acoustics, Linkwitz, and GR-Research kits is where i would start for speakers. CSS Audio would be worth a look | |

| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! yyzsantabarbara, Give Doug Dale at CODA a call, I spoke to him a few times and he was helpful and great to speak with before I bought my CODA S5.5. I don't want to speak for him, but I think he'll suggest the #16 vs bridged S5.5s | |
| Handling Heavy Amps jfrmusic, I'm putting together some listening notes from the first few week with it, I'll be posting it for the other thread....but I'll repost it here as well. I highly recommend you check out the other thread started by Terry a couple of weeks ... | |
| Handling Heavy Amps I bought mine from Audion Archon, and Mike Kay could give you some thoughts as well on the CODA | |
| Handling Heavy Amps +++1 for the CODA S5.5, though I don't know how it would pair with the Harbeths. I would reach out to Doug Dale founder and CEO of CODA, he is really a great person to talk to....I spoke with him twice before buying the S5.5 and once afterwards. 4... | |
| The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"! Teajay, I didn't have a chance to compare the Motherlode XL with the Backert, but the Backert Rhumba 1.4 vs the Rhumba Extreme 1.4.....that's why I suggested the demo between the two if near a dealer. The Rhumba Extreme 1.4 would have been my cho... |
