Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

Hi everyone, my first post at AG.
After reading the online rewievs and some threads at this forum,
I decided to order the CSLS. Audition was not an option since I live
in Sweden. Well, it finally arrived and yes, I'm in love. It has about
100 hours of break in now. I sit here with the silly " I'm in love smile "
and some tears in between. The short story is that the CSLS will make
you love your music more. It is so natural and emotional.
Special thanks to Charles1dad. Your post about the CSLS gave me
confidence to go for it!!! Everything you and others said about it is true.
If you ever come to Sweden you will have free beer at my place.
Anybody out there who has experience runing it balanced ?
I do but never heard through the RCA in/utputs.

Best regards,
Mikko
Sweden

Wilsynet,
Your wife has good ears, you can really appreciate what it does for the music as it has minimal editorializing compared to other line stages.

Thanks for the kind comment.You made an excellent choice as you have realized. It's good to see that you and others have discovered this truly surperb product. Your description nails it.The CSL is so natural and capable of connecting and immersing one into their music.What more could you ask of an audio component? If I ever make it to Sweden I'll be expecting some great beer.
Regards,

Can any of you owners comment on whether the CSL is an appropriate preamp for rock music? I listen to chamber and classical (have many old RCA Shaded and White dogs and Mercury Living Presence LP's), jazz, a little New Age but primarily rock. Or is it too soft and romantic sounding for rock?

Mrmitch,
To clarify there's nothing soft or romantic with the CSL (do you assume that due to tubes?).If you read the impressions of the CSL owners on this site you'll realize that it's exceptionally uncolored, pure and honest.It will perform well with all genres of music.It doesn't emphasize certain aspects of sound or provide artlficial hype and slam characteristics. In my use I find it very dynamic, vibrant and with excellent timing and flow which will serve all music . It's a component that is devoted to music and the antithesis of a hifi presentation. I think you'd enjoy it quite a bit with rock music.
