opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9


Is anyone familiar with both of these? I was really almost sold on the HT due to the whole single crystal thing etc, but now I also keep hearing good things about the CST from people I respect. My system is CaryCD303, Cary sli80, Shearwaters. Also, does anybody know where I can try before I buy with both brands? thanks, J

audiojudge did you get a chance to check out his (coincident) speakers? any thoughts? which models did you listen to? which amp did he have running them? what was his setup like...details, man, details.
khaki8 i think you are in the wrong thread. you're looking for one of the many 'ultimate power cord' threads.
hey jay have you checked out http://www.high-endaudio.com/ yet? it's arthur salvatore's site that people have been talking about under the thread 'reviewing the reviewers.' his store (high end audio) sells the cables (coincident) and he recommends them highly - not particularly persuasive in itselt- but if you read his audio critique site first i think you'll find his comments genuine. he goes into detail on the coincident cables and it's definitely worth a read if you're considering them.
iblume, did you get salvatore to do your golden tubes?

can you comment on the shelter 901 for those of us intrigued by it?

i've been looking around for and audio quattro or dual for a while now with absolutely NO luck at all. do you have any ideas?

thanks in advance!
alright. just checking to make sure you were still down. we're all in this together jay. anytime we lose someone it makes us question our sanity and in this hobby that's not a good thing. if you ever have the feeling like you're done, like you want out...call me. if i'm not home, call thunders or detlof or whomever. we're all here for you.
jay, what cables were you replacing with the cst and what interconnects are you using? sorry for all the questions but i'm thinking of jumping into coincident all the way around and am collecting info.
thanks for the info.
brulee that is an amazing and generous offer you made! unfortuntately 8 feet wouldn't be enough for me. i could move my gear but i think i'm going to upgrade my powercords and interconnects first anyway. but again, thank you for the offer. this is what i love about audiogon. where are you in so. cal?
and thanks, jay for summing up.
