Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000

Jordan,
Thanks for the update on these great linestages. I have heard them both in different systems several times at the RMAF; and just like Charles, I knew I could live with either. However, I have always wondered if the less costly CSL could give the CF a run for the money, and I'm glad to hear that it does. This would save me some money.

Cheers.

Don't get me wrong the VAC is great its just not as transparent or quiet as the Absolare. I think the WE845 tubes are great. I like them much better than the original RCA 845 tubes.

Just curious, what tubes are you rolling in your VAC?

Hey Vette,
It was very nice meeting you at CES a few weeks ago. Count me in regarding these tubes as well.
Charles,

Hi Knghifi,
I can tell you that my buddy Jeff has a large drawer full of tubes and has tried a variety of them in his VAC Signature MK II. The VAC is definitely a very fine preamp, the Absolare in his system is simply terrific and is less there ( if you know what I mean).
Charles,

The WE 101D tubes are on their way.
