I personally own a 10.5 amp and a 0.4r pre-amp. I have owned more equipment over the years than most and for the money, there is no better equipment than Coda. I discount the view that they are unsettled. Their expertise is valued around the whole audio market and that is why they have expanded. That is not changes, they keep expanding their horizons. Most companies could only dream about that proposition. If a close out, it possibly was one of their older preamps. They were closed out as their newer remote pre's are more in demand and they underestimated the demand for them. I have had a lot of equipment that was in Stereophile A and it could not compete. You could look at it one way- if you want incomparable sound for a great price, do not look further. Just because they do not advertise like some companies, do not discount their products. They are exeptional and most companies would double their advertising budgets if they had equipment that sounded that good. They do not have good pr around as they avoid most dealers and I would hazard to guess, dealers that use these pages would be biased against them due to their direct sales approaches. If you wish to trade and trade, buy some more well known equipment- you will sell easier, but you will compromise your sound. Without insulting other owners or reviewers/n chat members there are a lot of well known items out there, and yes it is easy to sell and possibly has been reviewed well, but I doubt it sounds better than these items. A very short list of items that I have owned are MC Cormack DNA1, DNA 0.5 DLX, Bryston B60, Aronov 960i, Aronov 9000 pre, Aronov 960 amp, Carver Lightstar amp and Lightstar direct pre, Proceed 1, McCormack TLC1, Bryston 4bst .... and on and on and they do not hold a candle to this equipment. If you want great sound -GO FOR IT!!!!!
