sonic frontiers line-3 vs pass labs x-1


I just replaced my fpb-200 with a Pass X-350(my god what an improvement). I currently have it mated to a line-3 with amperex 7308's in the output and Dunlavy 4a's. Source is a EMC-1 mk2. I was intrested to know if anyone has had experience with both of these preamps in a similiar system. I would like to hear the x-1 but dont know if its worth going to the trouble of selling the line-3.Thanks.

I owned a Line 3 before the Aleph P and the SF had tremendous authority, including slam! The Aleph P is kind of tuby and not etched and dry like some systems I have heard.
I simplified my system otherwise Line 3 might still be in play as it was considered the finest pre I had heard and easily rivals my P. The features on the Line 3 are excellent and I do miss the remote and mono features from time to time...

Enjoy the music...
