Coda VS Muse Model 3 Signature

Hello all, I've been in a hard search for about a month for one of a short list of solid state preamps.
Muse Model 3 or 3 Signature
Coda Contiuum Window 4
Classe 5 or CP 50
AR LS-9
Bryston BP-25
My Budget is $800.00.
Today, I came across the Muse 3 Signature for $1000.00
and a Coda Contiuum Window version 4 for $800.00. I don't know this Coda model. I've heard a fet 01 and it was very good. This Coda is their lower Continuum series, but seems to be very nice. Has anyone heard both to give me a fair comparison?
Thanks,
Tim

Uh ,,I'm not sure really why you suggest i talk to Coda, but any way it's quite possible that the CL's have the red display which you said yours has,i also think that the CL's had a option of getting them with a blue display also but am not 100% 0n that,
I dont need any clarification on what i have.

Sorry Coffeey, you are correct, the calling Coda reference was for Ucanhear2. Which by the way, I still believe the Muse will be very good.

Ucanhear2... I'd love to hear how the Muse compared with your Marsh P2000. Please give us an update when you feel comfortable to report the differences.

Hi Timlub, I've been enjoying the Muse Model 3 in my system. I completely agree- the Model 3 is an excellent, very musical preamp. Overall I prefer the Muse over the Marsh P2000 in my system. I found another thread asking for Muse Model 3 Signature comparisons with other preamps, so I posted more details here:

I will enjoy the base Model 3 for awhile, and then probably continue my upward migration to the Model 3 Signature or Coda/Innersound if I can find one within my budget.
