PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AWARD	EDITOR'S CHOICE AWARD	COMPONENT OF THE YEAR	COMPONENT OF THE YEAR

The Coincident Statement Phono Preamplifier is a high gain, all tube unit employing the highest quality MC step up transformers to accommodate virtually all moving coil cartridges. Due to employing only 2 all tubegain stages, high gain is achieved with ultra low noise, the absence of microphonics or hum. The RIAA curve is passive, zero feedback utilizing the closest tolerance resistors and polystyrene capacitors to obtain accuracy of less than .1 db deviation from 20hz – 20khz.All coupling capacitors are the finest and most expensive Teflon Film and Foil.

The 66 db overall gain coupled with low output impedance and the use of the finest discrete resistor mono volume pots allows the Statement Phono Preamplifier to be directly connected to an amplifier without the use of a line stage. The inclusion of a line input, selectable by a front panel toggle switch, can accommodate a CD/SACD player or any other component, thereby obviating the need for a line stage.

There are no circuit boards nor connecting strips to degrade the signal transfer nor deteriorate further with time. Everything in the Statement Phono Preamplifier is hard wired with the shortest signal paths possible.

The separate power supply has enough capacity and energy storage to power a 100 watt amplifier. There are separate transformers for the high voltage and low filaments. Furthermore, the high and low voltage sections have independent choke and large capacity filtering. All power supply capacitors are the finest sounding, highest quality polypropylene. No poor sounding,cheap electrolytics to be found. The power supply is the highest standard possible and provides the foundation for the Statement Phono Stage.It weighs more than 41 lbs!

The build quality of the Statement Phono is the finest available. It was designed with no cost restraints and the highest priority placed on sonic performance. It represents an all out assault on the state of the art.

The design goal of the Coincident Statement Phono Preamplifier was to provide the purest, most transparent method of playing vinyl. There is no Phono Stage in existence that surpasses its combination of performance and construction. At its selling price, The Statement Phono has no peer.

COMPONENT OF THE YEAR

 

Statement Mk III Line Stage -

As of April 30/ 21, Coincident is introducing the new and improved MK.III version of the world renowned and award winning Statement Line Stage. The improvements include:

- State of the art 33 step volume potentiometers replacing the previous 23 step.

Not only will this result in noise free lifetime operation, it will provide greater control of the volume gradations which will now be .35 db versus the previous .7 db.

- Improved volume transformers to accommodate the new volume potentiometers.

- Higher energy storage power supply capacitors. Every capacity will have their voltages increased 40%.

- Closer matching for all resistors and capacitors.

The sonic result is a line stage that is noiseless, with the absence of any discernible signal alteration. The glory of music is reproduced as it was created.

The Coincident Statement Line Stage is the most direct, purest approach in active pre amplification. The input signal travels from the transformer based mono volume pots to the transformer input and then to the 101D tubes for gain and lastly out through the output transformer. The 101D tubes are directly heated triodes that are the most linear amplifying devices ever invented.

There are no circuit boards to deteriorate the signal transfer. Everything in the Line Stage is hard wired. There are no capacitors in the signal path and all parts are the finest available. To eliminate any tube microphonics, not only is the chassis constructed of very rigid, high gauge stainless steel, the 101D tube sockets are isolated from the chassis by the use of a floating sub platform. The Statement was designed and constructed with no cost restraints. It represents an all out assault on the state of the art.

The circuitry of the Statement is fully balanced from input to output. The sonic performance is optimized for balanced and single ended operation. The choice of balanced or single ended will be determined by the ancillary components used with the Statement. If the amplifier or source component is designed to be optimized for balanced operation, for example, then using the Statement in balanced mode will yield the best sonic results. Single ended mode is recommended when used with components designed for single ended operation. The Statement utilizes proprietary circuit topology to achieve balanced operation while maintaining the sonic purity of using only a single DHT 101D tube per channel. This technique provides the optimum sonics with both balanced and single ended modes with no compromise.The novel, innovative topology employed literally " transforms" single ended operation to balanced with no components added to the signal path.

The separate power supply has enough capacity and energy storage to power a 100 watt amplifier. There are separate transformers for the high voltage and low filaments. Furthermore, the high and low voltage sections have independent choke and large capacity filtering. All power supply capacitors are the finest sounding, highest quality polypropylene not the cheap, sonically inferior electrolytics. The power supply is built to the highest standards and provides the foundation for the Statement Line Stage.It weighs more than 41 lbs!

The design goal of the Coincident Statement Line Stage was to provide the purest, most transparent active preamplifier ever offered. It truly is a straight wire with gain. The synthesis of the best passive preamps with all the advantages inherent in an active line stage, with NO COMPROMISE. Until the creation of the Coincident Statement Line Stage, the finest passive designs integrated into the right system was the procedure recommended. The Statement changed all that. To prove it, the Statement was compared to a high resolution SACD player (Esoteric P03/D03) directly connected to our Dragon amplifiers using their integral discrete resistor pots using 1 meter of Coincident Extreme interconnects. The Statement sounded superior in all parameters of performance. Not only was there no compromise in terms of purity and transparency, the Statement actually revealed more detail both on a macro and micro level. However, the Statement was startlingly superior in the bass where there was greater impact and weight, the soundstage opened up, the dynamic gradations were widened, and the harmonics from top to bottom were more complete. These improvements were not subtle and took but minutes to discern.

Listening to a line stage that is virtually dead silent, free of any colorations with tremendous gain results in a sense of weight, impact and dynamics that is at once thrilling and unique.There is no line stage or passive preamp currently available that surpasses the Statement’s combination of performance and build quality. The Statement Line Stage is an audio breakthrough.

The 101D Statement Line Stage is being replaced with 300B Statement Line Stage.

The Line Stage will be fundamentally the same as the 101D Line Stage, but the tubes will now be the 300B. The power supply has been reconfigured due to voltage changes of the 300B. The result is wider availability of tube choice and the reliability of the 300B tube compared to the 101D.

Sonically, the improvements include:

- Wider dynamic contrasts
- Enhanced impact in the low and mid frequencies
- Greater revelation of low level details
- More complete harmonics

Price will remain the same as the 101D Statement Line Stage- $6999US.
