Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000


I currently own a Conrad Johnson CT5 but would like to upgrade and move to a preamp with XLR in/out. I have tested the Allnic L-3000 which I find very intersting, and I am also interested in the Coincident Statement linestage. Has anybody compared the Coincident to the CT5 or the Allnic?

Can any of you owners comment on whether the CSL is an appropriate preamp for rock music? I listen to chamber and classical (have many old RCA Shaded and White dogs and Mercury Living Presence LP's), jazz, a little New Age but primarily rock. Or is it too soft and romantic sounding for rock?
Thanks guys for you replies to my question. And no Charles1dad, I don't assume it would be soft due to tubes but was really wondering about a tube I'm not familiar with (the 101D). I have tubes in my present linestage and phono preamp ,except for my solid state amp, and they are just great with all types of music. My present preamp (linestage)is a Joule Electra LA 150 Mk2, but like most of us am always looking to better my system.
Thanks Whart for the info and your assessment of the Joule seems spot on, which is why I'm looking at the Coincident.
