Sonic Frontiers Line 2SE vs. SFL2


Anybody could compare this 2 preamplifiers ?
I´m loocking for a tube preamplifier. For my money I can buy one of this 2 models. Unfortunally I can´t compare them. I want real tube sound. many people say that Sonic Frontiers Line series sound like ss preamplifier.
I will apreciate all your recomendations.

Hello brettmcee,
Old post I know but what tubes did you end up deciding on?
I've a SFL-2 that I want to change tubes on. Currently a combo of Sylvana/Sovtek and they are getting long in the tooth. I prefer the dark liquid sound too.
Cheers
My suggestion would be to contact Chris at Parts Connexion (one of the original Sonic Frontiers owners).  He can provide excellent tube advice
I have spoken to Chris, he provided his recommendation. I was curious knowing what others chose. He just rebuilt my SFP-1 to SE specs.
He insisted on one make of tube as being the best...I can look and let you know after this weekend. 

I still have a strange center channel balance issue in my system that wasnt there until i started using the SF-L2. Its track dependent. The strangest thing.  

He did a full upgrade for me. But still i have to ride the balance settings for almost every song.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
