The coda is a csib amp funny.

A boil out of the ordinary, a buzz on the net violent, all prcd by lodges rain spcialis the press.

This made me curious and I wanted to rub me the monster.

In test opening, as saying that the figures give annoncs dizzy:
- 330W RMS into 8 ohms, 600W RMS into 4 ohms (warning, not 2ohms or below)
- Class A up to 25w, switche automatically AB class above
- Subwoofer Output
- Between one and three symmetrical XLR among cinch
- Four sotie hp for bi-amping
- Output for prampli Chaner with other stuff
- Remote control

Around the test
------------
Acoustic preparation of poor pice. Pice square of about 30 to 40 m2 with a glass surface on the left and right doors. A lot of stuff is run after, also in the center of the breeding space.
CD Carry 303T
Cable unknown sector
Hp and unknown cinch cable connections for me
YG Acoustic Speakers, model Carmel, investment in the play "free"


Appearance
----------

The amp simply describes as "big aluminum cube with notches to avoid being confused it with an aluminum block". This is a big toy that exudes stability of all sides. We realize that the small buttons on the devices are plastic, but it's very planqu. This technical choice, however Exceeds me, and I have the same criticism as in battery, lux and other Mac GUYS ... WTF!?!

The unit is not sufficiently guaranteed. Only 2 years in Switzerland, which is too little and places tied with a toaster and electric toothbrush.

I learned by the seller that the devices available in Europe undergoing treatment optimization by the importer, in order to avoid the roar and pops. It also performs a small improvement in the internal components, with the aim of improve the quality in all respects. This is commendable and deserves to be underlined. It changes the carton pushers who puff 150% margin.
(QED, bumble Do you import models in trans-ocaniques conomiser just for a handful of euros)


The sound
------

At the departure i was well emmerd. How dpeindre you an amp that transmits all frequencies, but not like another amp? Yes .... you notice ... was going to be difficult.

I'll start you out my great classic that can very diffrent from a high end amp another high-end amp.

The sound is dcoll hp and "flier" in space. We repre perfectly protagonists and there is no messy when many musicians overlap. Each musician is broadcast with sound that goes with it, without cheat when it passes over another. However, attention to his "coda" which appeared later here we will return. Depth, she was standard, without seeking to results that far the best combinations amps / speakers I've heard. But it is impossible to say whether this is the amp that can be put in question or the pice listening not optimal. Go figure ...

Keeping pace suffers no criticism following the amp system of a down and other slipknoteries with ease.

Now, to understand what this amp is special, we could compare it with the McIntosh MA6700. The MA6700 stuff happening trapping and warn others tat "initial mastering." This is what gives the amp prcit a unique signature. Of the other ct csib nothing happens the trap, but puts a softer topping on the details that become less reprables in retransmission. It gives a "special coul in the sound. This is very audible on nevermind Nirvana album. We feel that the rotten charley Dave Grohl wants transparatre and it is but not shown full, the "worst" frequencies are softened. And has played on the spectrum. Whatever the artist and the type of music. It's been listening to something very special that nothing like what I knew before. And a must exactly be called a "sound Coda".

The last word
-------------
This is exactly the type of sound that some people are looking for. For me, as a big fan of GPs 1/1 sounds, it's not my cup of tea and I tend to make a detour around it. But what annoys me me, make them less stressful coutes, less violent and less expense for another. We absolutely agree that this is a completely subjective apprciation. The CITUB is a good amp that sounds possde of quality and character he. 5'690 euros for a built-amp is always a big dconnade, everyone must see where he places his priorities and if he can afford it dlire. Let's say, for that price, it's not the best deal under the sun.
