That is an incredible acquisition of ultra high-end equipment. I read the K-15 pre retails for $30kUSD. I don't know the number for the amps. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful gear, I always wanted to have a listen! Let us know how it sounds.
I would love to but there is no distributor in my country that's why i'm asking if there is any Koda K-15 owner on this forum.
Hi,
Not an owner but had extensive listening to 15 and 70 this spring. Pre 15EX is amazing but I am not sure about the 70 power which to me was lacking in power/dynamics/kick (which I prefer), though this may just be its signature. Anyway I read that there is a new power amp in the making.
All in all everything flows so naturally and effortless, with real hight, width and depth, separation of instruments and amazing timbre. It took some time to adjust to the signature of reproduction as it is so anti hifi parameters.
Of the speakers I listened to I believe the power amps prefer efficient speakers and in my listening case a pair of Cessaro gave the impression of 'being there' which very few set ups I've listened to could compete with.

I had the Robert Koda K15 and upgraded it to the K15-EX. The cases are basically identical, and the fit and finish is top notch for both.
But the K15-EX is a significant improvement over the K15 in a number of ways including richness, upper end extension, musicality, dynamics, coherence and realism to name a few.
There has been unanimous consent among those who have heard the K15EX in my room, with both Magico Q7mkIIs and Aries Cerat Symphonias, that the K15-EX is simply an amazing sounding preamp.

VAC Statement 450iQ monos.
I’ve also used the Koda with Audio Note Kondo Kagura monos. Robert Koch, the founder of Robert Koda LLC, worked for Audio Note Japan (Kondo) for years until after the death of Mr. Hiroyasu Kondo in 2006. So there’s a special synergy with the Kaguras.

Any idea how K-15 would pair with a beefy SS amp like Gryphon Antileon Evo or CH Precision M1 stereo ?
