Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

Mikha65,
The reviewer thoroughly captured the essence of the CSL.Reusing the term "natural" several times (as well as holistic and organic). Comparing so closely with the 45, 000 dollar Viola line stage (which the reviewer considers a creme de la creme standard) says it all as well as could be said. This doesn't surprise me and I don't say that with any smugness at all.He is right, the CSL is an astonishing achievement that's price within the range of reasonable affordability yet competes with the very best in the marketplace. Israel should be understandably very proud.For people like me who listen to predominantly unamplified acoustic music this is a near perfect choice.
Regards,

Mikhai and Charlesdad, Very insightful review, which is of course, another way of saying I am in substantial agreement. A review with which I am in complete agreement is nothing short of brilliant. :)
Seriously, this captures pretty well the essence of this extraordinary piece. It really is the final destination, provided it offers the functionality one requires.
Charlesdad, I am still playing with power chords. Every single other component in my system loves VH audio AirSines but not the CSL. Weird. I may just have Israel make one of his for me just to see what it does.

Hi Brownsfan,
No surprise with the power cords, so much of audio is trial and error. I took the easy way out and use the Coincident cord and as to be expected it is a very good match.
Regards,

Charles1dad and Brownsfan, thanks. Yes, organic and natural are are the most important words in this rewiev to me. If you never heard it this way, you don't know what you are missing . Once you do,well......

Please let me know about your experiences with power snakes.
What did you try for the CSLS?
Brownsfan, any chord that you prefer to the Airsine?
I'm using a Furitech Evolution Power-2 and it works well. I will try Sablon Audio Gran Corona soon. It's a very musical chord with high resolution, full low end, awesome dynamics, beautyfull tone and it gets the soul of the music ( must be related to the CSLS ). I have one for my power conditioner, and it transformed my system. My friend has 2 Gran Coronas, so I will be able to try them. We compared Gran Corona to Transparent Ref in his and mine setups in various components and the outcome was clear. Gran Corona was clearly better. We did short time comparison and long time too.
For me it is better to listen to one chord for some weeks and then change to the next one and then back again. When Gran Corona went out of his system, the magic went out of the door. Same result compared to Cardas Gold Ref Power. The Transparent is a old model,
but was about 3 times the price of Gran Corona.

Correction , the chord we compared to was a Transparent Powerlink Xl.
Anyway, the transparent was about 3 times the price of Gran Corona in
Sweden. Remember that we pay 30-50% more over here in Sweden when
we buy stuff from outside the EU. Sablon Audio is located in London,
so no taxes etc for EU customers.
