Jay, I have two single runs of CST speaker cables and a few pairs of the CST interconnects. The Harmonic Tech stuff is VERY good, don't get me wrong here, but is quite system dependant I have found in comparison. Unfortunately, Coincident does not do the "try before you buy" thing right from the Coincident facility, but a competant dealer like Kevin Deal with fill in the blanks.
I was actually invited to Mr. Israel Blumes home in Ontario Canada and told to bring along my best cable wares!. Mr. Blume is very much a people person, similar to Steve McCormack of McCormack amplifiers, or Pat McGinty of Meadowlark.
Well, I took him up on his gracious invite and heard for myself several comparisons involving some pretty expensive and heavy hitters cable in the industry. The Coincident just sounded "more right, more times" than the others, some costing 5 times more!!!
We had some tea, shared some ideas, showed me some cables, speakers, amps he was toying with for fun, a real interesting man who isn't afraid to "play in the same sandbox" with his customers.....Then again, Jim Wang of HT is also this way, and the HT stuff, in the right system ,can and does sound very nice....
For me however, there was little contest, I bought some before leaving!
