Again, my biggest belief is that cable is very dependent on personal and system tastes. So, when I hear the statements being made in this thread, it definitely causes my eyebrows to raise. I am curious to know what kind of colorations people find with the Coincident cables, particularly Zybar.
I have each of the cables you mentioned, loudspeaker, interconnect, and power, although I do not use all of them.
The cable I would like to begin by addressing the Coincident power cable. First off, allow me to state that while I find it to be a competent product, I do not hold it in the same regard as the interconnect and loudspeaker cable. It is a good cable, but offers not much of an improvement or step down than most of the copper power cords I have had in my system.
Could you please explain to me how you found the Coincident power cable inferior to the other brands you mentioned in some meaningful way.
Secondly, the interconnect. I have tried many interconnects, and in my system, the Coincident was about as evenhanded a cable as I encountered. Although I currently use Millersound because I like its midbass punch on my tuner, and HomeGrown Audio Silver Lace on my CD player for both its clarity and liquidity, my experience has proven the Coincident CST IC is anything but colored.
I will submit that the CST loudspeaker may be a bit lush, but it more middle of the road than many products I have tried. With my OTL amplfiers and mostly silver interconnects, it seems to produce a nice balance in my system of refinement, clarity, and detail, while sounding relaxed enough to do justice to jazz and also being able to rock.
Like I said, we all will have different opinions on a cable, and that is the way it should be. But, I also said that while one may prefer a cable, there is no better cable out there. I have to thoroughly disagree with statements regarding one's opinions on its inferiority beyond their own personal tastes. If one truly believes that the cables listed as being better are superior either in terms of quantifiable or quality/construction related reasons, please spell them out.
