| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information @sunnyjim Well Jim, this would be a very tough choice for me... Really too bad that you can't compare and if I understand correctly, you haven't heard any of them.... So: The Muse is really very good, I understand that you are unfamiliar with i... | |
| B&K ST202, modify or replace I don't find these 2 amps in the same league of one another. To be fair I haven't heard an ST202, but at one time I owned a Reference 4420 and for my taste, the DNA .5 would slaughter it. The B&K was soft & pretty, kinda laid back... The ... | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information @sunnyjim Hi Jim, I didn't realize that you were in a budget that high, I was looking at that $1500 & below. At that price point ($1500 & below), you have best of the best lined up in SS. I've had tubes in every form in my own system, ... | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information @sunnyjim Hi Jim, The CP comes with a basic remote. The $150 upgrade is larger digital readout remote. The Sanders is comparable to a Coda 04/Windows Continuum III, it was from around 2004 or so, the CP replaced the CL with added phono, I bel... | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information @sunnyjim Hey Jim, after Cerrot posted the Innersound, it reminded me of this.... The newest Sanders is essentially a CP and I knew of a review on that... I hope this contributes, Tim http://www.dagogo.com/sanders-preamplifier-review | |
| Outboard crossover? Why not? Thanks Eric, if you ever get the chance to play with a mini dsp hd, give it a try. experiment with frequency, slopes, time delay, all of it...Appreciate you brother, Tim | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information Jim, Not to steer you away from the Coda, I haven't heard its phono, but its a nice neutral preamp. The point that I'd like to make is that for the Pre's without a phono, there are very nice phono sections out there. Graham Slee comes to min... | |
| Outboard crossover? Why not? @erik_squires Active vs. passive is not as easy as saying one is better. There's always trade offs. Hi Erik, I agree that a competent crossover designer can come up with a very good speaker and yes better than a crappy electronic crossover and a... | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information http://www.ebay.com/itm/Muse-Electronics-Model-Three-Signature-Preamplifier-/322248556515?hash=item4... | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information Jim, there is a Muse Model 3 Signature on ebay right now at $950, plus exorbitant shipping cost... This is a very nice pre also... Definitely worth adding this to your list. | |
| Coda CP pre-amp vs Rogue Athena Magnum vs ARC LS-12 .Need information Hi Jim, I've heard the LS9, It had a low gain and was a bit temperamental matching, but when properly matched it was very good indeed. From what I've read about the LS12, it will be very good. The Rogue has a good reputation. The last time that ... | |

| Integrated Amp recommendation for $300 that will balance well with Vandersteen and NAD Yes, $300 is tough, personally, id recommend to try to save to more like $500 and look at the likes of an Audio Refinement or a Myriad, both can be had at that price and both are clearly Audiophile material... If not, Teac makes a sumpin sumpin ... | |
| Replace C28 with... ? The difference it tight bass, detail and top end extension will be dramatic, you will loose your bloom. They will definitely sound different, you'll figure out your taste very quickly. Purchasing used, no matter what, you shouldn't get hurt a... | |
| Outboard crossover? Why not? @tatyan69 If you don't have a separate box from the speaker, the speaker has internal crossovers... You would know if your amp had an electronic crossover to adjust frequency... Jump away, you will be fine.... |
