I just bought a SL-1 mkII preamp. The tubes are a couple of years old and I was going to retube it(almost $300 for NOS). Would I be better off putting that money toward the upgrade to mkIII($675). Any opinions?
R U sure that is the price for upgrade to 3? I thought it was 1200. The 700 is for 1 to 2--1600 if you have a 1 to 3 at the same time.--Maybe they have changed the price---??
Gregm, It is the line only. Why do you say to think twice? Is the line only not that much better updated?
Avguygeorge, The price is $675 for my model of the MKII. Ken said that prices differ depending on the serial #. He said they made some improvements throughout time with the MKII. If my serial # was about 50 earlier it would have cost $875.
Pal: not that much better to these ears. Fact is, I don't exactly remember what was improved... I *think* upper end extension. An update will also mean that the unit will be checked overall, so that's an extra bonus.
