Coincident Statement RC Preamp

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.

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.

Essrand,

I need three inputs counting Phono.
I have a tuner and cd .

I noticed this weekend the Line stage has only 2 inputs

I'll call Israel later this week.

I am wondering if the Phono stage is overkill , I don't need the line stage in the phono and it is getting expensive . The Phono stage is more than the line stage.

Anyone have any recommendations for a phono stage (Dynavector xx2 mc cartridge )to use with the Line stage for less than $6000.

Thanks,

By all accounts the Coincident Phono is SOTA via several professional reviews and word of mouth. Another highly praised Phono stage is the Zesto Audio. I heard it at CES last month and the room's sound was very good.
