Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.

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.

I won't be sending in my ref 6 for an Upgrade to ARC went I get one for 5,000 damn it. 

Ouch. It is actual highway robbery. 

Besides pride of ownership and resale value, I've found that the small manufacturers of tube equipment have better sound for way less money than the well known brands.

I wish you lived near me in Central NC.  I have 2 Pass Camp Amp Kits unboxed, waiting to be built.  Unfortunately, I haven't built a kit since the '70's, and at 59 and a half years old I have mild Parkinson-like trembles.  I'm afraid to try soldering because I don't want to screw it up.  I can't find anyone local to help out.  I'd love to see the gear you build.
