I recently purchase a SF Line 3 SE and Power 3 from Underwood Wally here on AudiogoN. Suggest you give him a call. I also checked out the BAT 50SE. Nice unit but will probably cost you twice as much as the Line 3 SE. To my ears there was a subtle difference in sound quality and that led me to the SF 3 SE.
Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE
Looking to move to a Tube Pre Amp from SS. I am leaning towards SF Line 3 but I am concerned about some reveiw saying SF preamps sound almost SS. Has anyone had any experence with the SF Line 3se. any comparason between that and BAT 50se. Any recommeded good dealers willing to work on line or good dealers in NY/NJ areas.
