If I may share my experience. I also have the Coincident Line Stage. I compared it to several TVC's (transformer volume control), like Music First, both copper and silver (previous models), and Django TVC. I also compared it to Kondo M7 Silver Sound which I still have. Coincident LS is closer to Django TVC but with a bit more control, speed, dynamics. Kondo M7 Silver Sound is a totally different animal and it doesn't nearly has the transparency of Django and Coincident LS. I couldn't choose between Django TVC and Kondo until I found Coincident LS.
Also, Django TVC was extensively compared by me with other preamps, most notably Sun Audio SVC1000 with upgrades (~$10,000) a very-very good pre-amp. Django was overall better with only one weakness, SVC1000 had a bit better control. Since Coincident replaced Django because of the added control, I would say it's better than both stock SVC1000 and upgraded one.
