Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

Which amp will you be using with the pre?

Coincident is still considered a small boutique manufacture; therefore, I give them some slack. I like the fact that Coincident focuses on quality engineering and quality parts to a lesser degree than cosmetics, but with today’s manufacturing techniques, quality controls etc. there should be no excuse for minor imperfections at a $5,500 price point. You don’t see those minor imperfections in their speakers.

You know that I'm a Coincident fan and these comments may sounds like nit picking, but I know that Coincident can do better and I am pulling for them.

It baffles me how Coincident can get the workmanship and cosmetics So right with their speakers and miss the mark with their electronic. Some of the only complaints about the Coincident electronics have been attributed to inconsistent build standards and lack of cosmetic refinement. Coincident made some significant improvements with their Mk2 versions, but apparently, they have some room to go.

It’s nice when you buy a component based on reviews and internet recommendations and it delivers as advertised.
