Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000


I currently own a Conrad Johnson CT5 but would like to upgrade and move to a preamp with XLR in/out. I have tested the Allnic L-3000 which I find very intersting, and I am also interested in the Coincident Statement linestage. Has anybody compared the Coincident to the CT5 or the Allnic?

Hi Brownsfan,
No surprise with the power cords, so much of audio is trial and error. I took the easy way out and use the Coincident cord and as to be expected it is a very good match.
Regards,
Charles1dad and Brownsfan, thanks. Yes, organic and natural are are the most important words in this rewiev to me. If you never heard it this way, you don't know what you are missing . Once you do,well......

Please let me know about your experiences with power snakes.
What did you try for the CSLS?
Brownsfan, any chord that you prefer to the Airsine?
I'm using a Furitech Evolution Power-2 and it works well. I will try Sablon Audio Gran Corona soon. It's a very musical chord with high resolution, full low end, awesome dynamics, beautyfull tone and it gets the soul of the music ( must be related to the CSLS ). I have one for my power conditioner, and it transformed my system. My friend has 2 Gran Coronas, so I will be able to try them. We compared Gran Corona to Transparent Ref in his and mine setups in various components and the outcome was clear. Gran Corona was clearly better. We did short time comparison and long time too.
For me it is better to listen to one chord for some weeks and then change to the next one and then back again. When Gran Corona went out of his system, the magic went out of the door. Same result compared to Cardas Gold Ref Power. The Transparent is a old model,
but was about 3 times the price of Gran Corona.
Correction , the chord we compared to was a Transparent Powerlink Xl.
Anyway, the transparent was about 3 times the price of Gran Corona in
Sweden. Remember that we pay 30-50% more over here in Sweden when
we buy stuff from outside the EU. Sablon Audio is located in London,
so no taxes etc for EU customers.
I have taken the plunge and bought the CSLS. Coincident have the same price world wide ( delivered to Australia) and that was very much appreciated. It has replaced my Supratek Cabernet Dual and I have to say I agree with all that has been said about it. Transparent, natural with the best imaging and soundstage I have come across.

Very happy and though I use it with tube power amps ( Mingda MC300845-AB) it really adds magic to solid state power amps as I found out at a friends place. So far so good!
Pap,
Congratulations! You'll enjoy the terrific sounding CSL for many happy years.
