Jshaw1004: The Ref 2 MK1 is the warmest, the Ref 2 MKII sounds differently however better, the Ref 3, at the risk that I am disparaged, sounds to "Spectral like": But it shows all, nothing remains in the dark.
Now spent a few hours with the REF 3, it is a revelation. Anyone knows which manufacturer or which kind of caps the four golden caps are? Teflon? oil impregnated?
to my thought he Ref 3 is quieter, had greater dynamic range, and is more transparent. the noise floor is very low . the sound is extremely focused, clean, and transparent. the soundstage dimensions as with the former Ref 2 wide. tight bass and clean top. very good low level detail information. bass articuliation is in a class for itself. very holographic.
