Coincident interconnect opninions


I have been using Coincident's interconnect between my CD player and integrated amp. I am quite happy with the sound. To sum it up, it is the best copper interconnect I have had in my system to date. I feel the strong suit of the cable is its evenhandedness. Not pushing any part of the musical spectrum in my face, yet not veiling any part of it either. All the music is there; from its low, taut bass through the clean midrange to the extended, detailed, but not crisp treble. Soundstaging is excellent, among the best. I cannot fault the cable in any area. Usually, I can say I liked the cable, but... I cannot do this at all with the Coincident interconnect. The fact that this cable costs $299 leads me to question the need to spend more. Sure, there will be other cables better suited to other systems. But does one need to buy megabuck cable when we have incredible products from Coincident, HomeGrown Audio, and Silver Audio at our fingertips? Maybe it is best to seek out reasonable cable first, and then ascertain whether wire that costs more than $1000 for a meter is needed. As my opinion is based on what I hear in my system, it is not absolute by any means. With my tube amplification and silk dome tweeters, it is difficult for a cable to come across as bright in my system. There are other idiosyncracies of my system, just as there are in all of ours. I am wondering what the reactions of everyone else who has tried this cable are. How you compare this to other cables? Has anyone found better? And has anyone found better for less than $1000? Thank you to everyone for your consideration.

Eljif, I think that for the vast majority of audiophiles, copper is better. Not that I think it is better, but that it will reveal things to the point that we may not like what is there. I think in the right setup, silver is superior. In my opinion, there is just more music coming through with silver. The window is opened more. But, as the old adage goes, there is more muck flying in also. When I use my solid state system(for comparison), the sound is definitely better with copper. And to get back on point, this Coincident copper is the best I can recall. Others here are more experienced with cable though, I have to admit.
Hello, I have 2 pair of IC RCA (1m/each)and 1 8' pair of speaker wire (no biwire)sale for $800 (retail $1195). The cables is used less than 30 hours. Selling due to move up to NBS cables. Any questions, please email me at Dtranle@aol.com Thanks
Trelja, you will be happy once you put Coincidents all the way around.I dont even think about cables anymore.Use their IC and Speaker cables and you will be pleased.And you can then concentrate on other things.
Actually Leafs, I have thought about that a great deal. I currently have two Coincident power cords I am playing with, in addition to the IC. They are great for the money. Superior to Synergistic Research to me, for about the same money. I have a silver power cord that is better than the Coincident in my system, so I use that. The rest of my equipment(CD player and tuner) have captive power cords, so I cannot take advantage of the Coincident PCs(will upgrade the player at some point). I do prefer silver interconnects to Coincident in my system. However, as I stated previously, Coincident is the BEST copper cable I have come across. Speaker cables will be my next focus(in 2001).
