Current BC3/3000 Owners

For those of you who are current BC3 or BC3000 owners, it is possible to convert your preamp to the one of the MkII versions.  I will not call this an upgrade as this is not a simple procedure.  It involves far more than the addition of a couple caps!  In fact, your entire preamp, including power supply, will be gutted and completely redone to meet the MkII specifications.  

Please note that original preamps and power supplies are not compatible with their MkII counterpoints.  The use of one with the other will not work and may result in damage so please be careful if buying from an unauthorized dealer/person.  

Regarding the cost of the upgrades, here are the MSRPs for the possible MkII conversions.  Please note that shipping is not included in this.
