Sonic Frontiers Line 3 pcX upgrade

I'm owner of Line 3SE and std Power 3's. I'm interested in the pcX upgrades but note all exchanges on this forum topic dtd 2008. That's pushing almost 3 yrs ago. Does anyone have an update and contact info for Chris? No one ever mentions cost of shipping 300 lbs (for entire set) of audio hardware over a thousand miles (or much more for some of you) and across a border - as latter as it relates to turn-around time. Does pxX pay rtn shipping? Hopefully some of yoo are still chk'ing this blog.

Thanks,
Triller

I don't own my Sonic Frontiers equipment any more but Chris was always a good guy to work with. Just google parts connection and his site will come up. The parts connnection can let you know what the current upgrade conists of now.
Nobody will pay return shipping for you. I think they figure it in to the upgrade price.

I own the SF line 2 and the SFCD-1, I had my Line 2 upgraded a few months ago, with the SE+ and volume chips upgrade, the background now is much quiet, and the sound stage is wider with more details and resolution, however, you can still recognised the SF signature.
I had the pre amp couriered to Chris at PCX and after the mod couriered back to me, PCX used UPS services, buyer pays rtn shipping, and I live on the other side of the globe where PCX is located.
You can contact PCX for the mod details and option you can choose.

I wonder if Chris is overcharging for the upgrade. Does he have any competitors?

The SE+ upgrade seems quite intriguing yet the price of it is rather off putting to me. I purchased my Line 3 new and have never had any additions or changes made to the piece. I am wondering if simply replacing all of the tubes would be a viable and economical approach to improved quietness and more authoritative bass. And, I do marvel that Chris doesn't appear to have any challengers in so far as offering the upgrades. Any comments from the members would be appreciated. Thanks!
