Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Mod by Parts Connection?

Attention Power 3, Line 3, Line 3 SE, Line 3 SE+ pcx owners

I'm wondering why I see so many Sonic Frontiers Line series components being quickly dumped after the pcX upgrade. It seems to be mostly with the Power 3 and Line 3. I spoke with an unsatisfied Line 3 owner who felt the Parts Connection mod. workmanship was poor quality. That is to say, good parts but, bad board work. Were you former owners not satisfied with the change in sound quality pcX gave? Is the SF factory SE better than the pcX Mod? What has been your experience?

I do not know anything about the PCx upgrade, but I did own a new Line 3 SE that was built at the factory before it closed. It was an excellent preamp, but found I prefer the Placette Passive in many ways.
The Line 3 is very well designed, a true work of art inside and out, but the only thing I really miss is the hockey puck remote. It was cool!
I have several reasons in favor of the Passive, but won't list them here. Please email if you want to know more. I would be glad to reply with my opinion.
