Linestage search

I thought of these two because I have good references of both and they are in my price range.
I think that the Ear 868 could be a good match for the amps because is designed by the same person, and the Coincident seems to be very well built and very transparent.
Even though I could consider another option in the 3.5K range, with a good synergy with the amps.

You just missed an 868L, which went for $2850 last week. A good companion for the 509’s, balanced/XLR outputs via transformers.

Thank you bdp24, it was offered at a reasonable price, it´s a shame I missed it.
My preference is for the Coincident but I doubt it they would make a good match.

  I´m looking for a linestage for my EAR 509´s monoblocks.

They are high gain as they only need 1.2v for full output, most sources these days have over 2v, you should look for a low gain preamp, suggest a Schiit Freya.
Which has 3 different output configurations tube, solid state, or passive, and it's remote control volume is about as good as you can get being 128 position relay switched controlled. And it's balanced or SE output with multiple inputs.

Ok George, I´m going to investigate the Schiit Freya.
Thanks for your suggestion
