Quote from: dflee on Today at 10:09:49 AMI've always been told to hook up the amp directly to the wall socket and thus have the Coda #8 in that scenario.
Should I give it a try though Daves marvelous Buss? I do have a Digi pluged into the Buss and use it for front end equipment and love it.

Yes!

Quote from: ejk on August 01, 2026, 01:02:08 PMUber arrived today. I have been Ubered. Can't imagine once broken in.

Good news indeed. Noise control is so darn important. My Uber has 8 receptacles and everything is plugged in. It works awesome 🤩

Yes my Uber has 8 also. I wanted to separate the amplifiers and the digital. I will leave the digital hooked up to the puritan labs, and all my amplifiers and preamp be plugged into the uber. One thing I did notice with the uber is that the soundstage is not as deep as when it was hooked up to the puritan labs.

This morning depth has returned and the micro dynamics are unreal. I am listening with my Pass Labs XA25. I have never been a fan of this amp since I purchased it. It's about 1.5 years old and maybe 20 hrs on it and now plugged into the Uber I am really enjoying it. I will plug my other amps into it later in the day. My toes are finally tapping to the Pass Labs.

Sigh. I wish I lived close to you! Of the 3 or 4 SS amps I have been considering one of them is the XA25. I have never knowingly heard one, but many people love this amp.

It's never been my favorite amp. I am more drawn to my GanFets

So you will likely sell the Pass? I like the Starkrimson, but don't want to switch from the Elvis, at least for a while. The Elvis is quiet, resolves beautifully and has a nice rich midrange. What amp(s) get most of the playing time?

I'm enjoying it now.Why would I sell it l o l

How nice that the Uber has brought enjoyment from that Pass amp. Am curious how the other amps will do...

Quote from: HAL on August 02, 2026, 09:00:13 AMAm I the only one that purchased a BlunderBUSS with 24 outlets from Dave?   

I need a lot of outlets for the line array Class D amps, 4 servo Class D amps and DigiBUSS for the dspNexus 2/8 DSP Control center. 

24 outlets?? Wow, Rich. Didn't know Dave made anything that big. My Uber is hefty enough with 8. Hope your business is doing well.
