I've had the Ref 3 for about four years. I can't imagine a better preamp. I don't dare listen to the Ref5 or the 40th Anniversary models because I'm sure that I won't rest until I get one if I hear them.
I've owned the SP9, LS-10, Ref1, and the Ref2 MkII. Each newer model better than its predecessor.
