Audio Research Ref3 vs VTL 6.5 or 7.5II

I am looking for a tube preamp with true balanced circuit and would like to seek your comment/experience on Audio Research Ref3 vs VTL 6.5.

BTW, is VTL 7.5II significantly better & worth the extra money?

My audio system consists of Marantz SA-7S1, Madrigal poweramp & Revel Studio speaker.

Many thanks!

Thanks Elevenmg.

I have asked some of my friends the same question. Most of them prefer VTL 6.5. However, none of them have experience on VTL 7.5II.

BTW there are speculations that ARC may launch a Ref5 next year: http://www.desirableaudio.blogspot.com/ .
