Hi Guys,
I have the chance to purchase the audio research ref 3 at a good price here and I think this is the route I wish to follow. My system could just do with that little injection of some tube magic - soundstage air and presence and a bit of warmth in the mids.
Do you think this is a good move or should I save for a used ref 5 instead? Or look at a different pre entirely! I have heard some nice ss pres in my system and they do some things superbly but that tube magic is missing to my ears.
