Sonic Frontiers- Quality and Reliability?

The SF Line 1 and Line 2 intrigue me because they offer so many features- balanced in/out, headphone out(any good?), remote control, and so on. But, I've read a number of comments about the poor reliability of the Sonic Frontiers Preamps. From you guys using this product, can you please advise me? Is the Line 1 or 2 good sonically? Is the headphone function decent? How's the reliability? Thanks in advance for your guidance! Dan Danlib1  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 08-29-04

As you can see I am a real Sonic Frontiers fan. No reliablity problems at all on any of the preampts (or power amps) in 10 years. Great sound. Tube without the bloat or slugishness. Precise attack without brass/glare. Tube sound decay (musical). Great remote on Line 2s. Best headphone amp I have ever heard (though I am not an expert on ultra-high end headphones). Good buys on the used market and great current service. What's not to like?
