Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

I currently own a Conrad Johnson CT5 but would like to upgrade and move to a preamp with XLR in/out. I have tested the Allnic L-3000 which I find very intersting, and I am also interested in the Coincident Statement linestage. Has anybody compared the Coincident to the CT5 or the Allnic?

Jordan,
Well admittedly there's some speculation/extrapolation based on Pap's impression of the W.E. vs Hifi 101D comparison in his system.

Charles - I know you were speculating/extrapolating...I just enjoyed the phrase. The only way I can see improving on it is to add some alliteration. Perhaps "well, then we're talking the Ridge of Rarefied Realism"? If Pap's assessment is accurate, then they must be sublime!

Jordan do you alternate between the CSL and CF line stages for a change of pace/ perspective?

Charles - no, I sold the CF. I have just not updated my profile on Audigon.

Jordan,
At one time I gave very serious thought to purchasing a used Concert Fidelity as it had really impressed me. Instead I bought the CSL new and haven't looked back although I'm pretty sure that I'd like the CF very much as well.
Charles,
