I have always had a keen interest in hearing a CODA amplifier in my own system for a long time. This company has been in existence for over twenty years. It's if they were a "stealth" product, very few American reviews, built many highly regarded amplifiers for other companies as an OEM source, and most of their products are loved/sold in the Asian/European markets.
I finally was able to set up a review for hometheaterreview.com on their new generation single chassis number#8 amplifier. Internally, their has been some very important changes in the power supply, along with "kept in house" different part selections through out the entire circuit pathway. Externally, the #8 has a pair of blue light power meters and is quite a good looking piece of gear. The build quality and parts used are at the highest level. The number#8 amplifier is 150 watts into 8 Ohms and 300 watts into 4 Ohms. The first 18 watts is pure class A. Regardless of the volume levels I play the amp never leaves its class A rating. Like all Coda amplifiers a special quality is the #8 ability to provide 150 Amperes of current if needed!
Well, the beauty of what this amplifier has brought to my system has lead to all night long listening sessions. I have owned/reviewed other great SS amplifiers. However, the #8, being driven by the new Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has some special qualities, here are a few:
1) It might be the quietest amplifier I have ever had in my system. This allows all the micro-details to float out and be heard. Yet, the #8 never sounds edgy/electrical/mechanical as other very detailed amps can.
2) It's lighting fast and provides the speed and aliveness you find in live music to a higher degree then other amps I have had in my system.
3) The overall tonality is "silky-smooth" with not a touch of grain/dryness.
4) The macro-dynamics overall and the control of the bottom end are superlative.
In my review I'll get into all the details why this is a killer amplifier! I also think its a "bargain" at it's retail price of $6,500.00. So, if your in the market I strongly suggest you might want to hear the #8 before you purchase another amplifier. It's that good.
很长一段时间以来，我一直对在自己的系统中听到CODA放大器非常感兴趣。这家公司已经存在二十多年了。他们很低调，很少有美国评论，作为OEM来源为其他公司制造了许多备受推崇的放大器，并且它们的大多数产品在亚洲/欧洲市场受到喜爱/销售。
我终于能够为HomeTheaterView.com对其新一代8号放大器进行审查。在内部，他们已经在电源方面进行了一些非常重要的更改，并在整个电路路径中进行了“内部”不同部件的选择。从外观上看NO.8有一对蓝光功率计，是一个相当好看的装置。建造质量和使用的部件处于最高水平。8号放大器将150瓦转换为8欧姆，300瓦转换为4欧姆。前18瓦为纯A类。无论音量大小，我玩的放大器永远处于A类输出状态。像所有的CODA放大器一样，一个特殊的品质是NO.8能够在需要时提供150安培的电流！
嗯，这个放大器给我的系统带来的美妙之处导致了通宵的收听。我拥有/审查过其他优秀的SS放大器。然而，由新型线性管音频MicroZOTL前置放大器驱动的NO.8具有一些特殊特性，以下是一些：
1） 这可能是我的系统中有过的最安静的放大器。这允许所有的微观细节浮出水面并被听到。然而NO.8的声音从来不像其他非常详细的放大器那样急躁/电气/机械。
2） 与我系统中使用的其他放大器相比，它最大的亮点是速度快，并提供您在现场音乐中发现的速度和活力。
3） 整体色调为“丝滑”，没有一丝纹理/干涩感。
4） 整体宏观动态和对低频的控制是最高级的。
在我的评论中，我将详细介绍为什么这是一个杀手级放大器！我还认为它的零售价为6500.00美元是“便宜货”。因此，如果您在市场上，我强烈建议您在购买另一个放大器之前，可能想听听N0.8。真是太好了。
