Sonic Frontier Line 3 X Bat VK-30


Please,can someone,help me to choose between the Sonic Frontier Line 3 and Bat VK-30 pre-amps?
My current power amp is a Pass Labs X-150,driving Apogee Caliper Sig.speakers.

Thanks

I agree the SF3 is more to my liking. I own the Line 3 and auditioned the VK30 at length (not in my home system) My impressions were:
1. VK-30 better imaging
2. SF3 better tonal resolution
3. SF3 better extension, particularly in the base
4. SF3 better harmonic texture
5. SF3 better S/N ratio. (Less hiss)

Both a very good pre amps.
