Linestage search


I´m looking for a linestage for my EAR 509´s monoblocks.

The input impedance of the 509´s is 25K

My first options are the following:

1. EAR 868 (used)

2. Coincident Statement Linestage (used)

I didn´t have the opportunity to hear any of them, so I would really appreciate advice on the choice.

Thank you all.

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 Rafael,
Ron Nagle is a reviewer for the Web site Enjoy the music.com.
He’s done professional reviews of the EAR 868 and the Coincident Statement Line Stage. I’d think that makes him a pretty rare bird 😊.

Of course it’s just one man’s opinion but he may be able to offer you insight on these two fine components. I believe that he responds to email. Just a thought given that you're not able to audition either of them.

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,
You are welcome.  You can Google his reviews of both products ànd should be able to contact him via enjoythemusic.com
Good luck,

Rafael, 
I owe you an apology.  Ron Nagle reviewed the EAR 868 but not the Coincident Statement,  my mistake.  The Statement was reviewed by Rick Bricker who is also a reviewer for that site.
