Coincident or LAT or Madrigal

I am planning on purchasing a balanced cable soon. I have been planning on purchasing the Coincident balanced IC. I have read several positive comments on it and it fits my budget. I have also read some praise on LAT and would like to get comments from others about these cables.

I also mention Madrigals CZ-Gel cable, because this cable will be connected to a ML 383 int. amp. The cable will either run to a Meridian 508.24 CD or Fanfare FT-1A Tuner; it depends if the new cable out performs my JPS Balanced IC currently connected to my 508.24.

Not unless they ran up 500 hours on it.

I bought the coincident ic a few weeks ago from upscale audio. They used a " Cardas cable burner". Do you think that the cable is fully burned in yet?

While I rate the Coincident highly, I find the 508-24 to be a tad laid-back, the JPS to be a tad forwrad, and the Coincident to be a tad laid-back. Hence changing from JPS to Coincident may not take the Meridian in the right direction - but only you can judge that.

If you buy the Coincident it needs about 300hrs to sound good and about 400 to 500 to sound its best. Patience is a virtue, (I sometimes lack).

I can say the Coincident outpreforms the JPS.I had a JPS in for a while and the Coincident was better.I have not heard the other one's.
