    Coda no 16 amplifier

    That's great, I would love to meet Bob. I just had Mark Schneider and the whole crew from Linear Tube Audio over for a listening session. They brought their new prototype 120 watt mono blocks and a prototype dac. All sounded fantastic. Mark is a good friend.

    Yes, I love the Lumniscate cables and they are my last stop. I have stopped looking.

    Coda no 16 amplifier

    That was a couple of years ago. I have sold the Coda #16 even though it was a fine amp. I have moved on to tubes again. I have heavily modded Altec 1570B mono blocks, based on Tom Tutays mods but taken a bit further by John Tucker of Exempler Audio. They are pretty much one of a kind.

    @yyzSB You use a good power cable and plug the #16 directly into the wall. A power conditioner I had resulted in lack of dynamics.

    DS Audio W3

    I currently have the DS Grand Master cartridge. I traded up from the 003 to the W3 equalizer just recently and the extra $ was worth it. The sound stage has grown and the sound is smoother, more refined.

    Cerious Technologies Graphene Lumniscate Cable

    I have Bob’s CT speaker cables and can compare them to the Morrow Elite, his top-of-the-line cable. The Cerious cable wins in all categories, soundstage, depth, detail and most of all transparency. I sold the Morrow cables.

    Cerious Technologies Graphene Lumniscate Cable

    Bob Grost runs Cerious Tech and his pregnant daughter does his web site. I think she is a little behind on updating things. There is a however, a contact page. https://cerioustech.com/#contact My cables are still breaking in apparently because they keep sound better with time.

    Cerious Technologies Graphene Lumniscate Cable

    I have been listening to my system through Bob Grost’s Cerious Technologies Matrix cables for the past 5 years and have been very happy, happy enough to have completely stopped shopping for cables, and I had been cable swapping for a number of years. I had tried silver cables in the past, and...

    Coda no 16 amplifier

    I didn’t think I would part with it, but my new modded 1960’s Altec Lansing 1570B mono blocks are so damn good. I will sell the Coda 16. I will drive a couple of hours to meet someone but I do not want to ship this 110 lb. Beast. Lance

    Coda no 16 amplifier

    I’m flirting with the idea of selling my Coda #16. Its The best SS amp I’ve ever owned but I have too many amps. I’m having John Tucker of Exempler Audio build me custom Altec Lansing 1570 resto-mod tube mono blocks. I already have spectacular sounding class D mono blocks from AGD, LTA ZOTL40...

    Coda no 16 amplifier

    The 07x was a bargain and only had about 10 hours on it so it also has been breaking in. Once everything is well burned in I will rotate a couple of tube preamps in for a comparison. The 07x will be hard to beat though.

    Coda no 16 amplifier

    Update on my Coda #16: In my last post I mentioned removing the power conditioner from the chain and the positive result from it. My electrician came last week and ran a dedicated power line from the panel to my listening room. I used GigaWatt LC-Y MK3+ 3X4 in wall cable and a Furutech GTX...

    Coda no 16 amplifier

    The Coda #16 is sounding very good since removing the P15 and going straight to the wall outlet. Next week I am having installed a dedicated line from the panel to my listening room. This along with a nice Furutech outlet I expect will have a decent bump in sound quality. I will report back...
