sonicfrontiers pre-amps reliable or not?

I bought a used SFL-3 and never had any problems with reliability.

I have had an Sonic Fronteers Antheum AVM-2 for about a year. It has performed flawlesly.

Line 3 works fabulously, sounds even better. 3 years now and lots of hours! reliable...good luck in your decision

I seem to recall from earlier posts that they have had some problems with one of the chips that controls the Line series preamps. I don't think that it was very common. I have been using a Line 1 for about a year and am very happy with it sonicly and have had no reliability problems.

dbear, apparently the initial run of line series had a volume control problem that drove the volume not down, but up to failure. the version i have is corrected...i suggest an email to SF to clarify the fix if there is concern...as stated earlier mine works and sounds wonderfully.
