All Sonic Frontiers System - Bad Idea??


I have heard many Sonic Frontiers products in different systems, and have always liked them. I have a Line 1 SE, and am considering purchasing a Power 1 or 2, and an SFD1 or SFD2. Has anyone owned this combination(s)? If so, what were your impressions?

Thanks,

Sonic frontiers stuff sounds beautiful. It has been a little less reliable than some of the gear from ARC and CJ which have never required repair. SF gear is cheaper than other comparable stuff. They are magical musical instruments that need help here and there.If You have the money do an all Audio research system it's worth the extra dough if you have it. I may be selling an SF Sig one phono and SFCD-1 soon in gold.
I don't know about their new stuff, but, ARC used to have a poor reputation for reliablity.
I had Power 3 for almost three years without having any problem. I currently own a Line 3SE for over two years and never have a problem. I will take SF over ARC anyday within the same price range, the build and sound qualities are better than any ARC gears I have ever owned.
I have SF Line 3 SE+ and a Power 2 SE+. Upgraded by Chris Johnson about 5 months ago. I will put this equipment up against MOST other equipment at more than double its price.
Reliability has NOT been a factor. Sound quality and imaging are phenominal.
