Cfjohn, I was all set for the SE upgrade last year until Victor informed me of the board situation. And with "C" boards, it's not very cost effect at over $4k. So, I bought a 30SE preamp, and got all the SE magic plus big improvement on the 3i that I had.
Even the board upgrade is pricey, so with the old tubes about the only sensible thing is to just retube. Even with the old tubes the sound is still supreme.
BTW, how do you find the 60SE to differ from the non SE-60?
