Coda Technologies Coda No. 8 Amplifier and 07x Preamplifier Review by Richard Willie (stereotimes.com)
Coda No. 8 Amp is Compared to Pass Labs XA-60.8 – Destination HiFi
CODA IS MY REFERENCE AMP FOR ALL THE SHOW DEMONSTRATIONS THUS FAR WITH FINAL ELECTROSTATIC SPEAKERS!
COMPARED DIRECTLY WITH PASS LABS 150.8 or 250.8, THIS BEAST EQUALS OR OUTPERFORMS IN EVERY SIGNIFICANT ATTRIBUTE, WITH BETTER HIGH FREQUENCY EXTENSION!
BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT BLACK FINISH, CAN BE SWAPPED FOR SILVER IF CHOSEN!
<1 OHM STABLE, 3 Kw TRANSFORMER WITH 20 HIGH OUTPUT TRANSISTORS PER CHANNEL!
THIS IS THE V1 VERSION WITH FIRST 18 WATTS @CLASS A,
The bias can be reset at the factory for V2 @250W or V3@ 400W into 8 ohms.
Highly regarded, only selling to accomodate change in show demo requirements!
FULL 10 YEAR WARRANTY for NEW, 4.5 YRS FOR USED UNIT!

The Coda Continuum No. 8 amplifier is designed with the same level of thoroughness usually
reserved for the finest amplifier gain stages. Balanced interconnections are provided to take
advantage of the greater noise rejection they provide. Differential voltage gain throughout
provides exceptional rejection of external noise and contributes to the inherent DC stability of
the circuit. This allows direct coupling at the Balanced Inputs without servo circuitry. The unit
also uses output followers operating without feedback.
The front end is designed to provide a slew rate of 50 V/us without entering Class B operation
as is common in many other designs. This combined with excellent high frequency design
insures linear operation at high speed. The supplies take a very direct approach to high
performance. A top quality 3000VA toroidal transformer with independent
rectifiers
80,000 uF of total capacitance with very low ESR and inductance are used.
and about
The current stage is capable of producing currents in excess of 100 peak Amperes with a
degree of linearity and speed which is not matched by other designs when producing only a
fraction of this current. This is achieved by the implementation of several distinct circuit
features.
Each channel uses 20 individual output transistors with a combined power capability of 3600
Watts and 75 Amps with a bandwidth of 10 Mhz.
The bias section is designed to produce a precision transition with no abrupt changes in
distortion or output impedance. This “Precision Bias” technique yields seamless performance
regardless of the complexity of the load impedance. With such linearity and bandwidth, no
overall feedback correction is used. One advantage of this is a high degree of immunity from
interactions with complex speaker loads or cables
