ARC announces new Ref 3SE Phono and upgrade path
ARC announced their new Ref 3SE Phono, an upgrade from the Ref 3 Phono. As with their Ref 6SE linestage, current Ref 3 Phono owners will be able to upgrade to the Ref 3SE Phono for $3,000 which will also be the increase in price for the new SE series ($14K to $17K).

I said this as soon as I purchased my Ref 3 from a fellow forum member......I told Marc (2fastdriving)....."you know the SE will be out in a couple of months". Sure enough....but at least there's an upgrade path I suppose.

Well they announced the ref6se upgrades back in December and they still aren't able to do them. I'm told that I am at the top of the list. It's OK, I'm not in a hurry to spend 3k.

I am envious of you guys in the US.
In Australia, we are charged 12% more and that excludes labor. Worse, it is locally fitted which means we won't get Warren Gehl to do the final listening tests.
