    The subtlety of the design process at this level of performance makes it impossible to easily explain all of the advantages inherent in the 16.0. However, we present here an overview to give you an understanding of some of its unique features and an idea of the listening experience you can expect.
  • Page 12 The 16.0 uses six massive aluminum heat sinks without fans for efficient, noiseless and clean thermal relief. The thermal coefficient of the 16.0 heat sinks is one of the lowest and most effective in the audio industry.
  • Page 13 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY II. Material Quality The amplifier’s chassis is made from machined aluminum. All exterior metal parts are anodized or powder coated for durability. Printed circuit boards are fiberglass epoxy with gold plating over a tin/nickel barrier. The gold layer will not corrode, while the barrier layer prevents the gold from migrating to the lower copper layer.

  • Page 15: Care & Handling

    If a cleaner is necessary, any dilute commercial ammonia based product will be appropriate. NEVER use any abrasive rags, cleaners or chemical solvents on Coda products. When handling the unit, take care not to mar the aluminum. Aluminum is a medium hardness metal and can be scratched by the harder tool steels.
