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?

Hi Jordan and Pap and all,
I agree with you about the HiFi series as well. Having a complete Coincident biamped system including PRE speakers, IMO, I also felt these tubes although quieter and less microphonic, were lacking in mid bass and lower bass. I thought that although there was more air present and that they sound a bit bright there was a slight loss in dynamics and speed at the expense of better focus and width as well.
I am truly looking forward to hearing the W.E. replica 101d in the CSLS.
Hi,
I was wondering what power cords CSLS owners on this forum use.
I am using Coincident Extreme "Shotgun" cables throughout and was curious what other pc's anyone has tried on the CSLS or any other Coincident products as well.
Thanks
David
Hey pap,
I assume the correct configuration of the PSvane WE 101-D is the 301B small pin /large pin, correct?
David, I use a Voodoo Air Dragon on my CSLS. I tried a number of pretty good cords, but the Air dragon out performed them all. Best dynamics and timbral accuracy by a long shot. I have not tried the Coincident cord however. Next best to the Voodoo was an old PS Audio Statement. Great on dynamics, but it had some other issues. I think the CSLS likes a lot of copper. It wants current, and it wants it right now, seemingly.
Rachel,
Thanks for the update on the much anticipated Psvane W.E. 101D . The pin type for the CSL is long with 2 thick and 2 thinner pins like the 300b. Rachel have the factory take their time and do a good job, we want the best quality available.

Dr David,
Interesting how some of us are getting different results. The Psvane Hifi 101D are just better than the Shuguang to my ears.
