Robert Koda

About

Robert Koda is another enduring partner of AE, surpassing a decade-long relationship. Robert Koch is a perfectionist. He is never hurried. He is clearly immersed in the art of amplification. His Takumi series is widely acclaimed around the world despite the few official reviews. This is a bespoke quality that simply speaks for itself. His RK K10 and K15 preamps are widely sought because of their coherence and smoothness without compromising resolution and transients. They easily integrate with other brands of amplifier as well.  The Takumi MC ONE phone stage utilises proprietary circuitry of RIAA curve invented by Robert himself that minimises distortion during equalization.  The introduction of the Takumi K160 flagship mono amplifier is simply the best of the best in the AE founder’s experience.  On listening, you wouldn't bother asking if this is solid state or tube design because you are completely swept up in the sentimental domain of music. RK designs will always move you, be it a simple Japanese vocal like Miyuki or a full symphonic setup showcasing Stravinsky's Firebird. It is intended to consistently deliver music, and with it, awe.

Contemplation

Its value emerges only from a betterment perspective of a holistic system assuming successful integration without fingerprint regardless of price.

Comprehension of marginal change when a new element enters a system is merely descriptive. Insight comes from corresponding adjustments required in other parts of the system to accommodate the new element.

More references necessitate the judgement process. This is a function of listening maturity, music/technical knowledge and luck. You define the value of it, neither price nor media. Only the right mentality nurtures wisdom to become a wise pathfinder.

My value judgment is based on energy, space and scale. The silence between notes defines the space for energy formation. Without energy, space cannot be formed. Without space, scale cannot be projected. When scale is established, you are co-sharing the space with the artist in the same venue.

That defines presence. Musicality follows naturally.

I was holding the “Knightsbridge” （騎士橋）ground cable* by Dalby when Anthony Lau, National Geographic Travel Photographer Grand Prize Award winner 2016, shot this photo.

He is my designated photographer for my forthcoming book to be released tentatively in 2026.

The connection of it to Tripoint Troy NG in my system allows me to comprehend the spacing between notes in any “staccato” passage of any musical instrument tremendously.

In music, staccato notes are typically played at half the written duration, with a distinct separation between them, which is around 200 milliseconds (0.2 seconds). This creates a short, detached, and percussive effect.

We are talking extremely high speed here. It is the performer who controls the pacing of it, which in turn radiates their emotions. If clarity of spacings are not clear, the intention of the performers will be distorted by noises.
