No. I own(ed) a SFL2 and cannot recommend it. It is really a better dynamic range compressor than a preamp. Very dry dull lifeless sound. There are dozens of preamps that will give you a better sound. It also has a failing volumn control that has a nasty habit of going full volume in one channel and has damaged a speaker's voice coil, so I had to have a woofer rebuilt. SF is also out of business, so I don't know why anyone would bother with legacy equipment. You already have a ML preamp,even being solid state, MLs are outstanding preamps.

Try something from Audio Research, even their lowest price line stage will be better.
