opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9


Is anyone familiar with both of these? I was really almost sold on the HT due to the whole single crystal thing etc, but now I also keep hearing good things about the CST from people I respect. My system is CaryCD303, Cary sli80, Shearwaters. Also, does anybody know where I can try before I buy with both brands? thanks, J

I just ordered a pair of Coincident interconnects based on all buzz about them around here. But I have used HT interconnects and speaker cables in various places in my system over the past couple of years and through many system changes. They are excellent and, in my experience, less system dependent than some other cables. They may not be your cup of meat, but they are very good and clearly a good value. If the Coincidents are as good, they will be an even better value.

The more I play with good cables, the more I come to feel that none is necessarily better than another, they're just different. People talk about one cable stompng all over another, or a lesser cable running from the room in embarrassment, or whatever. I've never found this to be the case. For the most part, they are just different. Which is why I have such a hard time getting rid of the little buggers, the good ones, even if they are not in the system at the moment.
