Shunyata recently had a major price increase on many of their cables. They had been producing cables for previous couple of years on old stock, but faced large increases in price when sourcing the wire. Hard to imagine, but specialty electronic parts price increases probably contributed to this increase.
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.

@tattooedtrackman There’s a dealer 2022 Ref6SE for sale on Audiogon. Audio Research REF6SE For Sale | Audiogon |
@noromance Yes. I just saw the 6SE good price also. But I can’t see it making sense to sell mine and get a used 6SE for the same price it would cost me to upgrade mine for the SE. I know what I have with mine. And it only has 625 hrs on it. So to me it’s barley broken in. With the upgrade it will be a practically new 6SE |
@curiousjim I couldn’t agree more about what u said. Also I will have practically the very 2 highest ARC amplifiers and preamp made from ARC. So to me it will be worth the upgrade as I can’t see my going any higher with them. I know I will not be getting or interested in the Ref 10 preamp also. |
