Audio Research Ref 3 Opinions

Here is the link to the ARC Data Base. I don't know who runs this site but it sure is comprehensive. Whoever is responsible - THANKS!

OK, I want it! I want it! I want it!
It's time to start throwing those hissy fit tantrums with my wife--who by the way could not care less about my righteous audio yearnings!
Jokes asides, the specs sound very impressive. At least on the page referred, the price seems the same 10K as Ref 2 Mk.2: I hope this is real and not an oversight from the site's owner.

When will the REF3/mk2 be released :-)

Still uses a digital volume control................>>red flag.

Downunder, the Ref 3 hasn't made it even to the ARC site yet. We will likely see it at CES this week for the very first time. You can expect a Mk.2 version of it in anywhere from 2 to 4 years if at all.
