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.

Good for you Ernand, but I'm not really interested in Panasonic!!! Thanx for your input.
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?
