Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

Marco its too bad you didn't hear the Coincident with Takasuki or other 300B tubes. Way more organic open and relaxed with these tubes.

Jeff, Marco is discussing the line stage not the Frankenstein amp.

Your right senior moment

Last post... Hi Jeff; actually I never heard the CSL partnered with Frankestein or similar tube amps (I also find very attractive the partnership with Coincident's Dragon).
My other listening experiences with CSL in my friend's listening room were with Viola Bravo (in two cases) and Krell FPB monos.
Just to let you know that I take a look to your listening room that is extremely similar to mine (mine is significantly smaller but with the same proportions and same unusual ceiling; 15 x 20 ft. approx and ceiling 7,4 to 16,5 ft).

Marco,
The CLS with a krell amplifier, that's an unusual but curious pairing, how did that sound? That Viola is a very expensive but well praised amplifier. I've never heard the CSL paired with SS amplifiers, interesting.
