Preview: CODA Technologies new generation number#8 Stereo Amplifier
This amp seems a little like the amp I just heard with Paradigm Persona 5F, the Simaudo 860A at $15K. They were great with the Personas. I have always had the CODA on my radar so much so that a few months ago I was corresponding with CODA on the a...

@tomic601 One of the tuners I have is a modified Sony XDR-F1HD. It was rather low cost but surprisingly decent quality. However, it is a bear to use and I maybe interested in selling it for something else. I do not have the dollars to do this yet ...

@tomic601  I already have 2 tuners. I for each of the 2 stations I jam to. Now if I had a 3rd station, but no third station around these parts.

Currently listening to the incredible sounds on KCRW FM (available online too) at low volumes. These guys play such good eclectic music from 12AM - 3AM. It's like being a young kid again and listening with a transistor radio on my pillow.  
Paradigm Persona series
Anyone use the Persona with grills? Does it mess up the sound?

I should have investigate the DEQX DSP system too. Funny this is I actually heard a bit of the DEQX system at the Persona demo. The Kyron speaker system with the single box electronics by DEQX. I did not pay too much attention because they were ge... 
Is DEQX a game changer?

BTW - don't take my comment on the dealer skipping the track as a negative thing. It was a collaborative thing with he and I to get the sound correct with the Persona 5F.  A real fun demo.I am trying to convince my brother-in-law to go to the Cana...

@gosta I noticed it a little after the start and through out the song. I noticed the song iitle is "GOODBYE". I did not know that during the demo. The dealer skipped to that song after HE did not like the first one. So maybe there is something to ... 
Is there a Northern and Southern California Sound
@erik_squires  Interesting take on the A3. I heard them with the Mark Levinson gear and I thought it was rather good. Not the best but for the size and the application I was looking to use them they were the top contender. They have now been surpa...

Is there a Northern and Southern California Sound
The Brooks Berdan big demo room is excellent acoustically. I had a tremendous demo of the Magic A3 in that room. The guys working there were also rather nice to deal with.

@jackd I heard the Legacy top of the line speakers in what I thought looked like a very good hotel room a few years ago. They had the DSP setup but it was not too my tastes, the bass was way too heavy. Now what that means is that the guy setting u...

@ctsooner All of the speakers I have focused on I have heard, except for the Harbeth and the Yamaha. Of the ones I have heard I think the Persona is my favorite. I could easily live with any of the others in my office. I am not too worried about t...

@tomic601  You are mocking my audio demoing skills. The chocolate was good though. BTW - I sent the following chocolates to a few friends and family last week. They are incredible (from Japan). Bring these home next time you buy some speakers and ...
