| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 Did you get to listen to the KRELL Duo 300XD? I have to agree with the post above regarding Parasound and CODA. Though I only had the A21+. The A21+ is good for the price, the A23 I had was not so good, even for the price. | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I had a D-Sonic Class D using Pascal module (new about 4 years ago) it was powerful, but it was not as resolving on top as the GAN amps I had afterwards. I also had a NAD M22 V2 which is also Class D and I returned it since it was not as good to ... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @sworksone Where did you hear the Trafomatic preamp. Is your model listed on this website? Preamplifiers - Trafomatic Audio | |
| Parasound vs Coda I think I like the LA4 and CODA #16 (or #8) combo the best. Though I only gave the Serene a short workout with the #16. The LA4 also works better with the #16 because it is so small, and I can hide away from the amp. I have been thinking about of... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? The amps I want to hear is the Daniel Hertz Maria "amps". It is like the PeachTree GAN1, but maybe not GAN. It also has an A2D convertor for analog sources. I also believe a sub is easy to hook up to it. No remote control though. I am looking for... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? I have had 3 GAN amps. Just re-bought the PeachTree GAN400 yesterday. The best GAN amp I have had was the PeachTree GAN1 that was mentioned above, however, mine was modded by Ric Shultz at Tweak Audio. TheGAN1 went from an OK amp to almost the be... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 If you do buy a used #16 be aware that there is some special setup needed to be done on the amp before it is shipped. Luckily, the guy I bought my used amp from had it checked out by CODA and they informed him how to pack for shippi... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 I am also considering the CODA #15.5 (an upgraded model). I have a #16. https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649992711-coda-no-155/ Though I am leaning towards the CODA #8 or Bryston 4B3 for my LRS+. Not in a rush. | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 Not sure about home demos. I have only bought some items online from them. I have gone to the store for some audio events. I definitely recommend that you make that relatively short drive up to Covina. I think the Duo XD is really g... | |
| Parasound vs Coda @christianb5s4 Sunny's in Covina, CA has the Duo 300XD trade-in model for $6250. | |
| Parasound vs Coda I had a Parasound A23 and A21+. The A21+ was rather good, though a little too warm for me and not as detailed. I got a KRELL Duo 175XD to replace it and it was much better for my tastes. Ultra smooth and more detailed, slightly less warm. At that... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... @petaluman I had my CODA #16 with the LRS+ and KC62 sub and my mind was blown with that sound. A very musical full range sound in the small room. It was much better than the Thiel CS3.7 in the same space without the sub. Now I do think the Thiel C... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... @liquidsound I do not thing a bigger panel would fit my room. The LSR+ does give a rather large soundstage and fills the room more so than any other speaker I have had in this space. I also have the KEF LS50 Meta and the KEF KC62 sub in this spac... | |
| Any Present Magnepan 3.7i owner using them in a smaller listening space... I have similar space (12 x 11 x 9) and the room is treated. The LRS+ works amazing in this space with the KEF KC62 sub. I would not try anything bigger than the LRS+. | |
| Best EXTERNAL DAC suggestions For warmth and soundstage a used Gustard X26 Pro (i owned) or maybe the new Gustard R2R version which I have not owned. Both can be bought for under a $1000. |
