The best you can do it getting in contact with an owner and visit him. In Forums it is absolutely normal that everyone recommends the units he owns, good or bad. Even when someone owned this and owns now that, forget it, when you don't know what priorities he has. I know Audiophiles who owned 8 preamps, 15 cartridges, 8 tonearms ... and their System is still awful.You can do a selection who writes what but finally a personal demo is the best way.
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?
