Sonic Frontiers Line1 SE upgrade?

Hello, you can expect only minimal increase in sound quality, but nothing like the price of this upgrade would suggest. No matter how good this upgrade is, you still have the power supply and delicate input stages in the SAME box. If you really like SF gear, sell your line 1 for around 1K, and with what you would usually spend for a Line 1 upgrade, get a Line 2 with better than the stock tubes. I much better investment...

Hi Cosmic, I had this upgrade performed on my line one about 2 months ago. The biggest difference to my ears has been that the unit seems much more dynamic now. Surprisingly, the top end seems slightly rolled off though. I would have thought the opposite because of the silver cable that was installed. This may be a characteristic of the tubes that came with my upgrade which are Brimar's. After my listening session last night I decided to install my Mullards again. Later in the day I will listen to those tubes and see what happens to the top end. All in all I am happy with the upgrade but YMMV.

Don't know if this upgrade can still be made since there has been a change in ownership of Sonic Frontiers. The new ownership does not care for tube equipments.
