ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC.

@noromance Thanks. I didn’t even think to look on their website 

@noromance Thanks. I didn’t even think to look on their website 

@djcxxx   I personally don’t mind the wait. I’m just glad that they are still doing the ES upgrades. It will be worth it. I’ll call ARC soon to schedule the upgrade 

@brunomarcs   I was thinking the same exact thing if u have to send in your 6 and wait 6 mon ? Or they put I on a waiting list and maybe 2 weeks before they get to u u send it in.  I’m think that. Also that’s a lot of amps to have for them to store until they are ready for u. And now like me that is my only pre amp. 

@noromance   well for me I will have a brand new sound anyway with the REF 750s from my Krell FPB 600. I never heard the sound of my REF 750s with my 6 until they come delivered to me. So I’m very excited about that and the 6SE. 

@gregdude Thank you very much. And definitely this is  what I would consider also the end of the upgrade ladder for me as well. I also hope my reality is as good as my imagination as well 👍👊💪

@yesiam_a_pirate   Thank you for the information. I really appreciate it. The waiting sounds fine to me as long as I know I can stil get the upgrade done. And like u said the waiting and anticipation is half the fun and exciting as the event. Also I bought my REF 6 from my ARC dealer in NJ. I sure I can take it to him for shipping out. I do have all the original boxes and packing. 

@bigkidz   Ok. U are not joking. But why on earth would I let u do the upgrade other than ARC ? Please explain. 

@bigkidz  U are joking right ? 

@bigkidz  What are u are a service tech?

@bigkidz   Also if u do the upgrade It will void any manufacturers warranty I have with ARC. I bought this brand new from them a few years ago. 

@brunomarcs   don’t understand what u mean by ) Now we know the 6SE isn’t worth there asking price ? ) 

@yesiam_a_pirate   I bought my Ref 6 brand new. It only has 620 hrs on it. Sending it back for the upgrade I will be using my dealer for delivery. 

@syd7865   On their websites under service. On FAQ on Service. Upgrades. It says new tubes installed as appropriate. 

@ghdprentice I have the Ref 6 and am getting the upgrade to the SE. How much better is the SE. I heard it is a big improvement. Also just bought the REF 750s I will be running with the 6SE. 

@syd7865   I just sent my Ref 6 to ARC yesterday for the upgrade. Wow u said 2 days and it was done ? How do u like it compared to the 6 ? Did u think it was worth it ? What did u pay for the upgrade? Would u do it again if u didn’t already ? 

Ok. Sounds great. I’m sure I will really love the new sound quality of the 6SE. I was using my ref 6 with my Krell FPB 600 amp. Im now putting together a new system that will include the ARC Ref 750s with the 6SE. Speakers will stay the same B&W Matrix 800s along with my Straight Wire Crescendo speaker cables and balanced ICs.And my Rega ISIS CDP
