Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage?

Rhythmace4218,
Did you decide to purchase the Statement linestage? If so has it met your expectations?

Hi,
I`ve owned this preamp for 11 months and it`s remarkable in my opinion.I`ts design is minimalist(only two source inputs and no remote) but the sound is so natural(organic) pure and transparent.The tonality is dead on with an exceptional sense of that elusive you are there realism. The design is very simple, transformer volume control(dual)- interstage transformer-two 101d (DHT) single gain stage-output transformer, that`s`s it, ultra simple. It really seems to allow the emotional aspect of music to be fully expressed. I hope you get a chance to hear it your self in the near future

Jacano,
You are going to become further impressed as time goes on with the the additional hours of break in.I`ve had the Statement/Frankenstein pair for 14 months yet my appreciation continues to deepen still. These two components are world class individually and supreme as a pair. My problem is turning off the system, even after 3 or 4 hours of listening when I know I should go to bed(I get up at 6AM for work) the music is so natural and involving I find myself saying okay just one more song... I`m sure you understand.

Allchemie,
I`ve read great reviews regarding your Einstein preamp. I`m very familiar with the very highly regarded VAC Renaissance Signature, have you had the opprotunity to hear it?

Jacano,
Yes, I agree with your point about the contribution of a stellar power supply. Another very important aspect of the Coincident electronics is the decision to utilize interstage transformers in place of signal coupling capacitors(more expensive are the transformers) I really believe that this choice is largely responsible for the superb natural and liquid character of both the Frankenstein and statement components(no apparent mechanical/electronic character). The massive power supplies in both units allow the dynamics,scale and flow of music to be preserved. IMHO Israel Blume really did a exceptional job building these two excellent components.
