opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9

Is anyone familiar with both of these? I was really almost sold on the HT due to the whole single crystal thing etc, but now I also keep hearing good things about the CST from people I respect. My system is CaryCD303, Cary sli80, Shearwaters. Also, does anybody know where I can try before I buy with both brands? thanks, J

hey jay have you checked out http://www.high-endaudio.com/ yet? it's arthur salvatore's site that people have been talking about under the thread 'reviewing the reviewers.' his store (high end audio) sells the cables (coincident) and he recommends them highly - not particularly persuasive in itselt- but if you read his audio critique site first i think you'll find his comments genuine. he goes into detail on the coincident cables and it's definitely worth a read if you're considering them.

I've owned both Harmonic tech and Coincident CST's, there is no contest, go with the Coincident!

Kublakhan, it's funny you mention it. I just went to that site & did a lot of reading today, so it's good that you started that new thread, thanks! Yeah, whereas HT seems to get some great reports, but also I've heard others say how it depends on the system, I've never heard anybody 'dissing' the CST's, which is exactly what Kevin @ Upscale said to me a while back. I've come to respect his opinion a lot, and am now leaning towards the Coincidents, especially when I read things like the above post by Audiojudge. I'll be finalizing my decision with the nexgt month, and will let you know.
Hey Audiojudge: Do you have single runs or biwire? Just curious, thanks, Jay in the jungle...
