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 Dave,
Thanks very much for your detailed description. I respect your opinion and you are as enthusiastic as Pap was regarding the major improvement of these W.E. Replica 101Ds. I'm going to order a pair, more organic, harmonic and palpable? Oh my!

I called Grant Fidelity today and left a message, no reply yet. I'll send an email and if no response I'll see if Israel Blume is selling them. I've had the CSL for nearly 5 years and will likely have it for 20 years or more. May as well get the best 101d tubes currently available and be done. Using premium 300b tubes surely make an undeniable improvement with my SET amplifier. David and Pap's enthusiasm have gotten my attention

Charles, based on my experience, I'd contact Israel first. As you know, the WE's I got from Grant had issues not expected from tubes in this price range. Israel won't send you anything not up to snuff.
