Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good?

The new reference speaker cable,The Total Reference Series,was demoed at the recent CES.Coincident has been shipping it for over 6 weeks.

As for a new upscale version of our current interconnect, we have not been able to substantively improve upon the CST IC.We will not release a more expensive version of our interconnect until such time as we confidently feel it represents, as does our Total Reference Series speaker cable,a sonic breakthrough.

Now we know about the current status of development of the IC cable from its designer himself. I thank you for your commitment to high end audio Mr. Blume. You belong to the very small minority of designers who asks where he ought to apply his talents, who applies them where he is convinced he needs to, and who abstains on every occasion that does not meet his own standards.

One more thing to mention is how they get better and better.I have not done any upgrades in the last month or so yet the sound keeps getting better.Israel had mentioned that to get them full blown it would take 500 hours.He is so right.I lsiten about 2 hours a day which requires about 250 days about 8 months.I have had them since july and they are right on time.This cable is like a fine wine it takes its time to mature but is sure worth the wait.1 Cable month = 1 Wine year.

Agree with Tm12. Broke in the Coincident IC during my last summer vacation. I put it between a CD player and a preamp and ran the CD player on repeat for the two weeks I was gone. That 360 or so hours of break-in was not sufficient, however, and the cable has improved even more after 6 months of on/off service between the turntable and the phono stage (which is, of course, a much weaker and more challenging signal to transmit than the CD signal). I did the A/B comparison I mentioned above after I got home from vacation. This was definitely too early, and I will repeat the comparison in the near future.
