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.

Thank you for all your responses. I wish I could hear it before I shell out 5g's.

It is just an outstanding, quiet, natural sounding piece of equipment. I got mine about a month ago. I am using it with the Frankenstein. The amps sound now like a good 30W SET monos, but the extra gain does not deteriorate the sound. Still early (only 1 month), but my impression so far is that this is a first class preamp.
Jacano,
You are going to become further impressed as time goes on with the the additional hours of break in.I`ve had the Statement/Frankenstein pair for 14 months yet my appreciation continues to deepen still. These two components are world class individually and supreme as a pair. My problem is turning off the system, even after 3 or 4 hours of listening when I know I should go to bed(I get up at 6AM for work) the music is so natural and involving I find myself saying okay just one more song... I`m sure you understand.
The only linestage I like as much as the Coincident Technologies is the Einstein The Tube Mark II which lists at over 3 times as much. While I have seen the Einstein online at $11,500, which is a great deal, the Coincident is such a bargain at its price, although it has only 2 inputs to the Einstein's 5.
Allchemie,
I`ve read great reviews regarding your Einstein preamp. I`m very familiar with the very highly regarded VAC Renaissance Signature, have you had the opprotunity to hear it?
