Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.


UPDATE””””””””” I just got off the phone with Audio Research about the REF 6 to 6SE upgrade and I was told that the price of the upgrade went up from last year from $3500 to $5000. I was pretty shocked. Also he said that it will not have to be done by the service dept as they have a guy who strictly does Ref 6 upgrades. as all parts are in stock and it will only take 14 days turn around time.

So what exactly is the upgrade and what parts do they use. For $5k I'll build you a point to point wired preamp with the best parts available. Happy listening 

@bigkidz   18 caps have been updated with propietary components made especially for Audio Research. In addition 14 runs of wiring have been upgraded. 

WOW 18 caps with proprietary components especially made for AR.  Like they are made form gold or something?  Do you think that those caps are as good as V-Caps?  Do they use a Plitron transfomer in the upgrade?

AR makes a good product and they have been around for a very long time.   So enjoy yours.

Happy Listening.
