Classe vs. Sonic Frontiers

I currently own a Classe 5 Pre and power combo. I am wondering if changing the pre to a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 or greater would be a huge improvement. Also would be interested in the phono 1 to replace the internal phono in the Classe. If anyone has experience using Sonic and Classe let me know what your findings are. I am powering Proac speakers with this setup.

Thank you for all of your responses. Regarding the ARC equipment, I have priced their stuff out and they are way too expensive. Sonic Frontiers stuff seems reasonable on the net, and actually I recently saw an add for VTL 2.5 linestage. If anybody had any opinions on this unit vs. the Sonic I would love to hear. I have no local VTL dealer. Thanx again...

O.K thanks again everyone. The response seems unanimous. The line 1 is a steal!!! Now, how do I know that it will drive my Classe amp? I am unfamillier w/tubes and I heard that one must match pre-power carefully. Any ideas?
