Coincident Statement RC Preamp

Charles, you are so right. And I have always found your comments on Coincident gear understated if anything. There are a few guys out there that are making stuff that is just crazy good, yet affordable by those not fortunate enough to be 0.01% 'ers.

I love my Maggies dearly, but the "crazy goodness" of the CSL has got me thinking about going all Coincident. Plan to order my WE's tomorrow night. That may push me over the edge if they are as good as Pap says.

Brownsfan,
Thanks, With Pap's vivid description of those tubes installed in the CSL I hope we both can avoid falling over the edge of unfettered bliss.
Charles,

You guys are so stoking my curiosity. I have a coincident phono preamp in mind....and you are spot on with the availability of great equipment at reasonable pricing. You just have to tear yourself away from the big box companies...a case in point is my preamp - the Dehavilland Ultra verve. It makes me happy every time I turn it on!

Hi Pops,
I didn't find it hard to pull away from the "big box companies" all you have to do is listen. Big or small unknown company, I'll just trust what I hear and go with it.
Charles,

Abill,

If you need a phono stage as well.
Why not get a Coincident statement phono stage which has a line stage as well. According to Israel, the line stage in CSPS is better than most LS except his own.

For me, the line stage in it seems pretty good (am still waiting for it to break in before passing judgements, seems a tad forward right now). It has no gain but is not just a volume attenuator either.

Just something to consider if you already have a Coincident amp.
