Why did you switch from Audio Research Ref 3?

Tubed Pre match with a Spectron Musician IIISE?
Radicalsteve, I over read and see that you have both upgrades, I guess I was just paying too much attention to your reference of the REF3 being bright and hard. I also read some of your other threads and see you are in the area "Ottawa", you would... 
Tubed Pre match with a Spectron Musician IIISE?
Radicalsteve, what does the rest of your system consist of. You said the ARC REF3 sounded "very bright and hard", I have to say that's the first time I have heard that and I have never ever had such an experience and I have tried endless amp combo...
