Robert Koda Takumi K15 Preamp

[analog brother]

they look like the patek of the audio world...

Just got info from another source . It's much bigger than K10 at 600x500x300mm . Wow 12" in height

Oop . I m prob wrong with the dimension . Couldn't be 12" height

 

[rockitman]

so what is the soft/warm sound they talk about in one of the reviews ? Sometimes too much of that is a negative in my view, system dependent off course.

Robert Koda Needs a lot of time to update his Homepage.

Matej, I read it already and thanks for posting on your website. Are you reviewing the K70 amps soon? I've been hoping for a Koda phono stage....

Thanks, Matej! Great reading!! of all the preamps i can think of...i have to admit for some reason, instinctively, Koda K15 comes to the top of the list (maybe top 3?) of preamps i would love to hear. I am perfectly happy with CJ GAT...but i do wonder sometimes!!!

The K15 is much more "pretty" than my K10...

Any news on any new Koda offerings? Phono Stage? New Amps?

I actually like the looks of the K10 better. The K15 looks a little gaudy for my tastes, though that wouldn't stop me from owning one if I wanted it!

Jfrech. Yes, K-70 is still planned for a review. Will update about the timeline once I've get a fixed schedule.

Phono stage is in the development and its coming for sure. But until Robert is utmost satisfied with the performance it won't see the light of the day.

Most welcome LL21. I'm more then happy with my Robert Koda Takumi K-10 preamplifier, but also find myself contemplating way to often about the K-15... .

You interview was linked on another thread about the K-10. Very nice interview with a very nice Japanese man.

I detest gaudiness and the K-15 is far from gaudy. It ever so tastefully nods its head in the direction of bling without ever going there.

My K10 6 1/2 inches high with the stock feet

Look! A hole in my foot. I must have shot myself. I do that a lot.

Give you guys some thoughts

Would love the opportunity to listen to K15. Sounded very good when I heard it at Audioexotics

Ok. I, too detest bling, but a little nod is ok.
