CODA CSIb vs. HEGEL H-300 INTEGRATED

Yes it certainly appears to be a spitting image of Coda products, I certainly do not know what differences that may be lurking within the circuitry.

At any rate, both the Coda and Sanders are on my very short list of taking a listen to, just need to get me a decent block of time to do so.

Sanders power amps are built by CODA, but are custom designs and built to their specifications. So while they appear similar in looks to CODA products, they do not have the same internal circuitry.

Thanks Bill, kind of what I had figured, as Sanders does have some unique power supply regulation he uses within his units. Maybe other things as well. The important thing is the music in the end!

Well I know that when I spoke with Doug Dale of Coda, he explained how they work with their other products. He said that the companies will tell them what features are important to them, then Coda will design and build the amps/preamps to suit their tastes.

I've owned many Coda pieces over the years, great stuff. These guys know what they are doing, and would be a much bigger name if they didn't have such a disdain for the marketing type of people. Coda was founded by 3 ex-Threshold engineers. They like designing and building amps. They don't like the business end of the industry though. They would rather design and build amps for other companies than go to shows, schmooze with the reviewers, etc.

I use the Marantz PM11s1 and its amazing. Anyone on how it would stack up against the CODA???
