Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage?


I am curious if anyone out there has spent some time with this preamp. What were your impressions, and what other preamps were involved with the comparison. Thank you for the feedback.

Jacano,
Yes, I agree with your point about the contribution of a stellar power supply. Another very important aspect of the Coincident electronics is the decision to utilize interstage transformers in place of signal coupling capacitors(more expensive are the transformers) I really believe that this choice is largely responsible for the superb natural and liquid character of both the Frankenstein and statement components(no apparent mechanical/electronic character). The massive power supplies in both units allow the dynamics,scale and flow of music to be preserved. IMHO Israel Blume really did a exceptional job building these two excellent components.
Rhythmace4218,
Did you decide to purchase the Statement linestage? If so has it met your expectations?
Charles, I have not. I have been using an Aesthetix Calypso for a few years now and I am ready to upgrade. I am also considering an ARC REf 3,Modwright 36.5 w/ outboard PS, Allnic L-3000, and possibly a Rogue Hera. I am always open to suggestions. It needs to be a tube pre and it must have XLR in's and out's. Thank you kind sirs.
