Linestage search

I thought of these two because I have good references of both and they are in my price range.
I think that the Ear 868 could be a good match for the amps because is designed by the same person, and the Coincident seems to be very well built and very transparent.
Even though I could consider another option in the 3.5K range, with a good synergy with the amps.

Thank you bdp24, it was offered at a reasonable price, it´s a shame I missed it.
My preference is for the Coincident but I doubt it they would make a good match.

Ok George, I´m going to investigate the Schiit Freya.
Thanks for your suggestion

Thanks Matt, sounds interesting, I will add it to my list of candidates.
I don´t live in the  States and unfortunately I have no chance to try almost anything, that is my biggest problem.
I appreciate your kind cooperation

What do you think about the Manley Labs Neo Classic 300B?
Could it be a good match?
Thanks,
Rafael

Ok, thanks again George

I´m learning a lot and clarifying many things.
I have no chance to audition any of them and that´s why I´ve started this discussion.

I´d welcome any additional comments of the three I list below.

*. Charles, your experience with the Coincident Statement Linestage and the aparent no technical issues, confirm it as one of the firm candidates.

*. Al, the Manley Neo Classic 300b is on my list too.

*. The other on the list is the EAR 868

Al, Charles, Matt, George, Bdp24, I appreciate the help of all of you.
Thanks,
Rafael

I agree with you that the synergy is very important , and the EAR 868 was my first consideration because it belongs to the same house of the amps.
However, the Coincident Linestage attracts me.
Thanks for your advice and telling me your experience.

Sorry for the delay, we have very different time zones.
Very complete information about the EAR 868 and Tim de Paravicini.
Thanks for your interesting feedback.

Hi Charles,
I don´t know Ron but I think he may  have a qualified opinion. The fact that he has done both reviews is very important in this case to be able to compare.
 I have to find out how to contact him but I´m going to try.  
Thanks for your useful suggestion 
Rafael

Thanks for the clarification Charles
Anyway the reviews are very interesting
Best Regards,
Rafael
