Looking for a good tech in the Philadelphia, PA area.

Hi all - I recently bought a used Canary tube amp that produces an an unacceptable buzz in both speakers. It was shipped from CA, so not interested in spending all that money on shipping, would rather put that money into a repair. Have searched around, made some calls, but can't find anyone, not to mention anyone qualified. Thanks in advance...I hope.

In the future, you might try RHB Sound Dezign, aka Backert Labs. Bob designs audio equipment and also does mods and repairs to tube equipment. He’s in Churchville, PA, north of Philly. He’s done dozens of jobs for me. The work’s outstanding, reasonably priced, with good turnaround time. I’ve known him for over 20 years and he’s a great guy too.

Bill at Music Technology is also a very good choice. Used him 2 or 3 times and always satisfied. He’s located outside DC.

You're right. Was surprised that he only works on preamps now and looked it up to confirm.  In the past, before he started designing and selling preamps & phono stages, he worked on everything "tubes". I know he is very busy.

I really don't have first hand experience with anyone else other than the two I mentioned. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
