Sonic Frontiers Line 3 pcX upgrade
I did it with a Line 2SE and the result was a much quiter and transparent preamp. I had them put it vcaps as opposed to the audio notes though and the Burr Brown chips.

Best Speaker Cable Terminations

Prog Rock.....Porcupine Tree?
In Absentia is great, I believe the drummer Gavin Harrison was new for that Lp. I know Mike Portnoy from Dream Theather who toured with porcupine tree and we both agreed the guy kicks ass!
