Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE.
Well today I dropped off my Audio Research Ref 6 at my Audio Research dealer. Audio Research told me as of right now the time span when they receive my Ref 6 is a week turnaround to upgrade it to the Ref 6SE. Which is extremely fast. I can’t wait to hook up my new Ref 6SE to my new REF 750s. Has anyone had the upgrade from the 6 to the 6SE ? If so what were your impressions ?
You’re kidding with this, right? I’m perfectly fine thanks. Asking for a company to do upgrades for the cost of parts makes you a really bad CPA. And ARC is now in fine shape so it’s not in receivership at all. You’re out of your depth here. |
So @jetter are you suggesting ARC should just provide the upgrades for the cost of the parts? That’s just stupid and is a recipe for going out of business for any audio manufacturer. Plus, having anyone else do the work, assuming they could because it’s more than just soldering in some new caps, will void the warranty. Did you even consider that? Your thoughts are, frankly, ignorant and short sighted. But u do u and see how that flies. |
I’ve read nothing but very positive things about any Audio Research upgrades. I mean, when you take an already great design and throw in a bunch of much better parts what could possibly go wrong? The only thing I’d say is it’d be much more cost effective to buy a used Ref6SE because you’d already have the upgrades for far less than the stock Ref6. I bought my fully upgraded McCormack amp 25 years ago for less than the price of the original stock amp, but that’s water under the bridge here. I’ve no doubt you’ll be thrilled with the upgrade and will be interested in your thoughts. |
