ARC REF 6 upgraded by ARC.

Greg said that since the scamdemic everybody is pulling their old gear out of storage and wanting it fixed. Apparently it deteriorates in storage. ie corrosion in the pots, cap bleed, etc. 

You will send an email for a place in the que, get an acknowledgement back, then you will get an email about 7 months later telling you you're getting close (30-ish days) to the ship-in time bit "don't ship it now".  About 45-60 days later you will be told to ship- when, where and how. 

That was my experience since August 2022 for an SP-15 refresh. Meanwhile you can enjoy your Ref 6 and fall in love with old recordings you rediscover anew. 

The 750s and an Anniversary preamp are my dream system. I just need to finish the kitchen remodel first before my anticipated upgrade. The anticipation is as much or more fun than the event. :)

Send it to me and I will do a better job then ARC.  Ask them what brand parts they will use in the upgrade!

That's cute how you slip in a silly political gag, and then blame it on a guy from Audio Research. Clever!

@cleeds I guess the 1,000,000+ Fellow Americans that died are just another hoax to him.  When you are lucky enough that your distant relatives managed to get to America so YOU could be born here and say ignorant stuff like that, I guess he missed the line where brains were handed out.

No one HE knew managed to die, so I guess it all never happened.

How fortunate.  The NEXT one will be worse, of course, but unless HE dies, it will not have happened either.  Were his distant relatives here for the 1918 Spanish Flu when 600,000+ Americans died?  Naw, another hoax, I guess.

As we say in the south, "Why, bless your heart!"

I knew there was a reason I stopped reading and posting on these forums. Silly of me to return.
