I had similar first impressions when I plugged in my SF line 2. However, the pre-amp totally changed my system for the better after 100 hours. Btw, I also upgraded to Valvos tubes. I can't complain everytime I pop in Eva Cassidy's Evening at the Blues CD. Hang in there and don't give up yet.
sonic frontiers line 2 break in?
I need advice from anybody with experience breaking in a new sonic frontiers line 2 preamp. I just replaced my conrad johnson pfr solid state pre with this unit. All the reviews I have read regarding sfl2 describe it being clear, dynamic and with an open soundstage, well mine sounds like I am listening to the music with a head cold. Is there a possible problem with my unit or does it need more time or what? The cj sounded great but wasn't compatible with some of my components. Help
