sonic frontiers line-3 vs pass labs x-1

Your interest in home theater, alongside your no compromise approach to hifi drew my interest. I'm a former audio professional and pass dealer. currently I'm running
Nottingham Spacedeck/SpaceArm, GradoRefSonata
Pass XOno
Pass X2.5
Pass X250
Pass X3
Totem Hawks
W/Cardas,AudioQuest and Totem Cabling
to this I add a full on HT experience 92" Screen 5.2System
Denon 2900 SACD/DVDA
My home system evolved basied on evaluations done in the store,many slow afternoons were spent experimenting, things that worked there I would try in my system. In my listening pass amps are happiest paired with pass preamps. also your phono stage will be happiest as well. You my find your system can be enhanced further by tweaking your room and your cabling. The "Round" tube-like sound you seek is possible. Let me know I you have interrest in my cabling tests

Hi, I have owned both-- still own the L3, T3 SE+, P3 SE+, and PH 1 SE powered by Levinson #336. "All Pass" is very synergistic and tough to beat, albeit a little clinical if the room hasn't been treated properly. I agree with Semi and Goodears, Pass done right is very coherent and satisfying. But, synergized SF gear simply does tube right. If you stick with the tube gear go for pcX's SE+ upgrades, excellent upgrade/value. Here are my delicious tube recipes: L3= Siemens 6U8A (sweet wetness), Philips SQ E188CC (refined and controlled high end), Siemens E188CC in last 8 positions(liquid and involving mids). P3= Siemens 6922 (clean, coherent, nice immediacy, slight tizz gives energy top end). PH 1= Philips SQ E188CC (delicate and refined, gets out of the way).

What you think about the sfl-3 with J.Rowland model 1?
please let me know,because I have to decide for this preamp.
Thanks to all.
