Can an audio rack be that important?
Looking at mitch2s system pictures I think he has a good handle on what nice looking audio furniture looks like.  
Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE.
@hhiggins  I tried to schedule a repair to a ref anniversary preamp & was told there would be a 6 month wait Perhaps @ghdprentice can help you out with your wait time.  I do believe that he has posted regarding knowing someone at ARC.  Sor... 
Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE.
@tattooedtrackman  And not to even mention voiding the warranty.  Surprising that you would have any time left on your three-year ref 6 warranty. I thought the ref 6SE came out in the Jan 2020  or so timeframe.  
Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE.
@soix That’s just stupid and is a recipe for going out of business for any audio manufacturer. Your thoughts are, frankly, ignorant and short sighted. A fountain of advice for everyone but still no system pictures.  I know from your prior po... 
Audio Research Ref 6 upgrade to 6SE.
Perhaps ARC is focusing on quick, high profit, transactions.  If you can add 17 capacitors and a little wire and it takes someone a couple of hours to do the upgrade and make $5K, that is smart business.  What do the caps cost them? Keep in mind ...

It would seem fitting that whatever speakers you settle on, have,........wait for it.....Seas Drivers.  
Canare 4S11"G" now available!
Thanks @mofimadness I also use the Canare 4S11 and will be interested in the results of your comparison. In the bigger picture of things, I don’t really understand how being "oxygen free" can impact sound one way or the other.  Is the idea that... 
Michi P5 Preamp Tone control Distortion
I guess what I am saying is that I am occasionally using the tone controls to enhance my listening enjoyment, not to correct a weakness.  
Michi P5 Preamp Tone control Distortion
@soix  If you’re using tone controls there’s something much more seriously wrong with your system or room that should be addressed before resorting to tone controls.  Just my $0.02 FWIW. I tend to see only the positive of having tone controls.... 
Issues with heavy noise using RCA cable connection to Record Player
I had the same issue with a different brand cable and the cable maker indicated he was not surprised, because the cable was not adequately shielded for turntable use.  As you experienced, my other cables did not create the same problem. The maker...

Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables
Looking at the most positive side of roxy54’s original post it serves a very important purpose to inform potential buyers of these cables being sold as used (expecting the genuine article) to be on the lookout for counterfeits. If you want to buy... 
Audio Research in Receivership.
I am sure that Mr. Suggs had sophisticated financial analysis prepared by specialist to determine the advisability of purchasing ARC.  For those of you not familiar with the business world this is a mandatory and usual step for ANYONE purchasing a... 
ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC.
I agree with others that suggest waiting until the receiver/bankruptcy thing is clarified or otherwise taken care of.  It all could turn out to be fine, or not. If it does not turn out OK you could possibly lose your preamp in the event of a colla... 
ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC.
Another option would be to wait and have your pre updated to Ref7 whenever that happens.
