VAC Standard/ REN vs. Coincident Statement


Both manufactures VAC and Coincident get glowing reviews on there preaamps: Statement and Standard / REN

But what do actual users think of these pieces? How do they differ sonically? My initial thoughts:

Coincident statement--- VERY very transparent to source
VAC standard-- more warm sounding
VAC ren -- less warm than STD, with more transparency.

Mind you these comments are NOT from direct comparison, but a review of postings and rag reviews... thoughts

I have owned a VAC Standard LE a few years ago. It's presentation is transparent, textured, and very musical with only a slightly warm personality. Quality tubes make a very large difference. The LE version employed some of the Renaissance quality parts. Recommended.
