Has anyone listened to the coincident linestage?

It is just an outstanding, quiet, natural sounding piece of equipment. I got mine about a month ago. I am using it with the Frankenstein. The amps sound now like a good 30W SET monos, but the extra gain does not deteriorate the sound. Still early (only 1 month), but my impression so far is that this is a first class preamp.

I understand very well, Charles.
I have the intuition that the massive power supply plays a major role here. To make a PS like that is expensive, and I guess that is why we don´t see it very often.
A curious thing about this unit is the tube configuration. They are floating in a sub chassis to avoid microphonics. It was weird at first, until I got use to it.

Also, it works very well with the Phono statement (of course). Dead silent backgrounds, crystal highs, accurate midrange and real bass (not the HT thing).
