Audiophile Equipment Repair?


Looking for recommendations for a place/person who works on audio equipment. My DAC has a broken (snapped off due to my clumsiness) COAX port on the back that needs replacing. Seems like a fairly simply repair, but I'm not qualified to attempt it. Would appreciate a name and email for someone with the right skills for this.

elliottbnewcombjr: I imagine you're correct, although knowing audiophile replacement parts might not be in their wheelhouse.

bigkidz Thanks for the offer. I think I've found a local person who can do the repair. I'll let you know if it doesn't work out.

Hey from Richmond.
Thanks for the info. I talked to the fellow you mentioned about three years ago and was going to contact him about this, but couldn’t remember his name or contact info. Yes, he’s a funny guy. When I asked him about doing a relatively simple update on my $10k CD transport he snarled a bit saying he doesn’t work on CD stuff. He eventually said he might consider it--if I could afford him. I eventually went with someone else who was considerably more open to doing the update.

I did contact Audio Exchange about the repair. He declined, telling me to send it back to the manufacturer. I’m guessing what you said about his anti-China sentiment influenced his decision. Ironic considering almost everything electronic comes from there, with the notable exception of high-end, boutique audiophile gear.

Anyway, I think I’m set having found someone local whom I know and trust.

Thanks, again.
