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 ?

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.

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.  Sorry if I have it wrong.

I know from your prior posts you are going through some tough times, but your demeanor kind of brings it into focus.  I am a CPA who has experience in receiverships.

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.

ARC is actually still in receivership and the matter remains before the court. This is a good report on the developments.
