I don't think you can make generalized statements about the 07x FET preamp against all tube preamps. However, the 07x's sound has been described as tube-like for a solid state preamp. So potential advantages could include a lower noise floor / increased resolution, less maintenance and tube...
I haven’t heard the GAN product from Peachtree, but I did own one of their older integrateds for years and there’s no way it’s in the same league as the Coda.
I remain skeptical that a product that costs around 10% of the Coda’s price and weighs about 10% of the Coda’s weight could really...
@kairosman, I’d recommend choosing your speakers first, and then picking an amplifier that complements them instead of the other way around. We have no way of knowing what speakers to recommend given we know nothing about your sonic preferences, room size, placement constraints, or budget. I’d...
I’d imagine it’s to give flexibility when biwiring. You can biwire with a cable that has four conductors housed within the same sheath (like Mogami W3104 cable with its 4x12awg conductors). This is called internally biwiring. Or you can run two separate cables from the amp that each have two...
I think there's a lot to unpack here. Coda Technologies was originally incorporated as Continuum Electronics back in 1985. See their About Us page.
They use the Continuum moniker in multiple products, including preamps (e.g., the Continuum CB or Continuum CP preamps currently sold). I assume...
Thanks for sharing your impressions! Reading between the lines, would you say that the Gato amps have a warmer, less neutral sound signature than the Coda? That could make sense as the Gato amps have a MOSFET output stage instead of a bipolar junction transistor output stage like the Coda. What...
Have @Steve Williams or others had compared these Anaconda v2 digital cables against the newer Delta, Alpha, and/or Sigma lines? Curious as to any similarities and differences, especially with the Delta line as they both utilize VTX copper conductors but do not have the CMODE filters.
You need to stop relying so much on specs. Benchmark focuses on specs, and from I’ve read have a very different sound from Coda gear. The amplifier stage of the current production version of the CSIb is also the same as the No. 8, so likely the only thing different in your 2018 version of the...
As an update to my [previous post], over the last 10 days or so I have now tried a Netgear CM1100 and a CM1000v2 in lieu of my Netgear CM600 cable modem. As a reminder, I have 500 mbps service from my cable provider, and the CM600 is a DOCSIS 3.0 modem that was getting flagged as incompatible...
Thanks for your many posts in this thread regarding the different cable modems you've tried. I saw an updated post where you mentioned that the issue with your sound quality and connection generally was related to the Comcast line itself and not your equipment. What are your thoughts on sound...
No way to tell if it is your power supply without doing some experimenting. I would print to PDF or take a screenshot of the event log and of the information showing the downstream and upstream channels you're bonded to. Then re-install the stock power supply on the modem, reboot, and monitor...
