| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today The CODA #16 is really an excellent amp. One of the very best amps I have ever heard. It reminded me of my Benchmark AHB2 on the top end, so clean and smooth. I did not spend much time with the #16, though I knew immediately that I preferred it to... | |
| Looking for warm tube preamp (should pair well with Pass power amp), budget $6000 You should check out the CODA #7x preamp that I just sold. It is soon going to be upgraded with a separate power supply. It was too tubey for me but likely the perfect sound for you. It is a SS preamp so no tubes to change unless that is a negativ... | |
| Review on Coda Technologies 16 Amplifier went live today @smodtactical I did not buy the CODA #16, I instead bought the CODA 07x preamp and CODA #8 amp. I also bought the KRELL Duo 175XD amp. I sold all of that gear, except the KRELL Duo 175XD which went up for sale yesterday. I am going to get another ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I do not think the Serene preamp will be much of a difference from the Benchmark LA4, which is exactly what I want to achieve, The Serene has an extra RCA input that I can use. The plan was to get a second LA4 but I am curious about the "better me... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sns It is too smooth on the RAAL VM-1a amp. This amp and both SR1a + CA-1a headphones can scale amazing heights in sonic quality. With the 005 it sounds way too smooth and lifeless. The Benchmark DAC3B sounds so much better. The VM-1a + DAC3B is ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC I thought about what I should do last night regarding a preamp for my Livingroom system. I considered the Bricasti M12, Meitner M3, SimAudio 390, T+A 200 DAC, and some others. I also considered some standalone DACs with the HoloMay Serene such as... | |
| Gustard R26 I just put my KRELL DUO 175XD up for sale. It is sonically a lot like the CODA #16 because the KRELL is Class A like the mostly Class A #16. The CODA #16 is more powerful even though it is 150 watts vs the 175 of my amp. The current is very high o... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Gramophone Dreams #61: The Art of Cable: AudioQuest, Canare, Kondo & the HoloAudio Serene preamplifier Page 2 | Stereophile.com Ok, I think we have a winner in the HoloAudio Serene. It sounds like a killer unit. A slightly warmer (or musical ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @sirnui Thanks for the info on this preamp. It is very interesting. Alpha Audio NET - Review Holo Audio Serene Level 1 preamplifier – Tastefully Serene (alpha-audio.net) | |
| Gustard R26 @kairosman I did have the CODA CSiB and KRELL K-300i integrated at the same time. I sold the CSiB to get the CODA 07x and CODA #8 (I also heard the amazing CODA #16 with the 07x). I sold the KRELL K-300i to eventually buy the KRELL DUO 175XD. I so... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Actually I did that just now and came across some posts by the person that sold me his Musetec 005 (my second one). He compared it to the Bricasti M1 SE. I used different search terms to find the post, A’gon search is pretty lame. The post I foun... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Does anyone remember if the Briscasti DACs were compared to the Musetec 005 on this thread. The thread has gotten big and I do not follow all the posts anymore. | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I get fatigue very easily if the gear is fatiguing or the room is fatiguing. I would check you room first to see if you have too much sound waves banging around in there. If you room passes that test and you still have fatigue then it is your ge... | |
| Can a set of Ls50 metas surpass or equal a set of Kef blade metas with subwoofers On side note. My KC62 had a design flaw in the batch it was part of (wireless transmission). KEF asked me to send it back to them. When it came back to me it did not work. The shipping packaging was damaged, but the unit was also packed in the wro... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects Audiogon Discussion Forum The posts by @atmasphere on this subject are the most informative, maybe also the most controversial since he does not see the need to spend a lot of money on XLRs for AES48 compliant gear. I agree with that assessment ... |
