Help - Line 2 on the blink
I have a line 2 also but cannot help you. My suggestion is to call or email the guys at www.partsconnexion.com with your problem. They service Sonic Frontiers and may be able to help. If necessary you can ship it to them for repair at a very reaso... 
who repairs sonic frontiers?
I just had my Line 2 serviced. Sonic Frontiers (Audiostream) picks up the units across the border and brings them into Canada. No problems. Took about 3 weeks total -- 1 week shipping to NY, 1 week servicing, 1 week return. Shipping was $30 each w... 
Anthem Pre 2L tube rolling question
I used to own the Pre2L and have upgraded to the Sonic Frontiers Line 2 preamp. It is the rear tubes that have the greatest effect on the sound. This was conveyed to me by Kevin Deal (where I bought the Pre2L and an Anthem/Sonic Frontiers dealer) ... 
Best Remote $1,250 used preamp?
As Muralman1 stated, "tubes are important" and can make or break a preamp (or amp). Maybe that is where we differed on our judgment of the SF Line series preamps. I would also agree that the Line 2 sounds dry in the mids when using stock Sovtek 69... 
Best Remote $1,250 used preamp?

Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
I believe the Hale Transcendence 8 lists for $9790, almost twice the Focus. Kind of like saying: yeah, I owned a Toyota Camry. It was OK. Replaced with a BMW 745i, huge improvement! 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
As Lak said early on, you will hear different opinions on Legacy. I believe they have become very controversial due to their claims in their ads and brochure. I had owned the Classic for a year then upgraded to Focus the last 2 years, after auditi... 
Bass Eq, LEGACY STEP ONE
I have been using the Legacy Step One for about a year now. I had previously purchased the Legacy Classic speakers then upgraded to the Focus. The Focus is much richer sounding through the mid-range and bass frequencies which then caused room-boom... 
Budget phono stage- advice appreciated
I just placed an order for the DB Systems DB-8 phono preamp. I also did not want to spend alot. Check out the review at Soundstage, it was convincing enough for me to place the order. As the review says, this is a no brainer. MM is $150 and MC is ...
