Sonic Frontiers- Quality and Reliability?

I had a Line-2, now a Line-3 (and Power-3s), and both have been exceptionally reliable. I did have one problem with the Line-3 when it arrived. A low level of hiss, but higher than it should be, was cured by snipping out a resistor from the ps. Since then, just superb.

BTW, the headphone amp is based on the HeadRoom module and, to my ears (I do not listen to phones unless forced), it is quite excellent

Thanks Kal.

SF is where its at. i currently have the power 2. I screwed up putting in the tubes once and sent it back, got fixed no charge. Just good people.

When I had my old Audio Research LS 16 sent to upgrade from MkI to MkII, my dealer loaned me a SF line 1.

To my ears, in my system, the SF Line 1 fell far short of the LS 16, less detail, and a total collapse of the soundstage. I even swapped out all six tubes, but it made little difference.

System at the time:

Martin Logan Ascents
Classe 301
Audioquest Diamond X3 XLR interconnects.

Needless to say, I was very happy to get the LS 16 back.

Just my 2 cents

disagree with above- my modded SF Line 3 blows away my old ARC LS16 in all parameters...
