Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

Hi Knghifi,
I can tell you that my buddy Jeff has a large drawer full of tubes and has tried a variety of them in his VAC Signature MK II. The VAC is definitely a very fine preamp, the Absolare in his system is simply terrific and is less there ( if you know what I mean).
Charles,

The WE 101D tubes are on their way.

Vette,
Do you have a component that utilizes the 101D? I thought you were using the Absolare Passion line stage. I'm interested in your impression of these tubes.
Charles,

I am using the Absolare Passion linestage. I have had gear that utilized the 101D and may again. I have a lot of respect for the tube and know its strengths well. Someone else will have to analyze them for now but I am betting they are top flight. I do know the WE 845's they manufacture are a clear winner. If no one on this thread wants them I know they will sell elsewhere. No worries.

Vette - Is your source amenable to a small group buy from those of us on this thread?
