Coincident Statement RC Preamp

I noticed at Coincident's website they have a remote control version of the Statement Preamp.

They say there is a sonic compromise compared to the non rc Statement .

Has anyone listened to it ?

Has anyone listened to both ?

I have Total Victory IV speakers and Frank's 330b amps .
I will update my current preamp ( Supratek Cortese )within 6 months and Coincident products have never disappointed me.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Bill

Bill,
I have owned the TVC version CSL for over 4 years and would describe it as sublime like its sibling the Frankenstein. I believe that you'd be ecstatic with it. Israel says the new RC version just sacrifices a "slight" amount in direct comparison and that's all.I don't miss a remote control at all but for some it's a must have. Either version would be an asset in your system.

Abill,
Australian member Pap went from the Supratek to the CSL, send him an
email I'm sure he would be of much help. I thought you were using a
Wavelength amplifier? Can't go wrong either way.

Hi Bill,
I used the Black Treasures for 2 1/2 years and enjoyed them. The EML XLS is a better 300b across the board in my opinion. It mates beautifully with the Frankenstein, tone, drive, dynamics and overall authority noticeably improve.

Brett,
What ever gave you the idea I'd respond to a thread regarding Coincident ? Lol.

Hi Brownsfan,
There's so much BS and over priced and over hyped products in our beloved hobby. When a line of components offer genuine value and true high performance it's hard not to comment and let others know. I try to keep my contribution informative, honest and avoid hyperbole, hope it comes across this way.

Brownsfan,
Thanks, With Pap's vivid description of those tubes installed in the CSL I hope we both can avoid falling over the edge of unfettered bliss.

Hi Pops,
I didn't find it hard to pull away from the "big box companies" all you have to do is listen. Big or small unknown company, I'll just trust what I hear and go with it.

By all accounts the Coincident Phono is SOTA via several professional reviews and word of mouth. Another highly praised Phono stage is the Zesto Audio. I heard it at CES last month and the room's sound was very good.

Bill,
Pap summed up the CSL attributes very well. Despite hearing many quite expensive audio systems for 3 full days at CES last month
I couldn't wait to get home and hear my CSL-Frankenstein combo. I just prefer natural vs the ultra Hifi sound presentation you mostly hear there. Bill, I am certain that you'll love that combo as well .

Bill,
When I mentioned the pervasive Hifi sound heard in many rooms at CES the Zesto room is excluded from that list. Their electronics driving the TAD speakers were natural with believable music reproduction.
