I replaced my KRC 3 with an SF line 2SE and I consider it an upgrade as the Line 2SE got me closer to what I wanted to hear on my system. The neutrality and quietness of this preamp is just astonishing.
I'm using it with an EMC 1 CDP,Krell FPB 200 amp and Thiel CS3.6 speakers.
I bought mine from Kevin Deal (call him and talk to him about it,he's a nice guy and he knows his SF), My unit came with Siemens ECC88/6DJ8 NOS tubes made in Germany. It will take almost a week of continious play before it will really open up but once it does you will be thankful you bought it. I also tried valvos E88CC NOS on mine but I went back to the Siemens, personal taste I guess.
