Most reputable independent tube equipment repair facilities in the US ?

On the east coast, I’ve had work done at both SoundSmith in Peekskill, and AudioClassics in Binghamton. Both provide excellent service and have the knowledge to tackle projects that others might not touch.

Stereo Rehab +1.All tube there , they also did my SA10 laser replacement.

A quick look at Stereo Rehab yields this tidbit:

For reference, Stereo Rehab IS NOT accepting any units for service that are shipped in. Only units that are brought in, assessed and evaluated with the units owner present, auditioned in person by the units owner upon completion, and picked up in person by the units owner are accepted.

Too bad for all of us who don’t live in Chicagoland.

Yeah, no shipping is no go for most of us. Analogique in NYC doesn't do shipping either, by the way.

Prairie Audio does not exist on the web, at least I couldn't find it.

I'll check those places on the East Coast.

I found a guy who works only on tube gear and is mainly into pre-war stuff about a 2 mile drive from my house in Austin. He’s done two jobs for me, crazy fast turn-around, super reasonable, very fastidious. His place is like a museum of antiquarian gear. I consider that a blessing, cause I loathe shipping gear as well.

I did use Bill Thalmann (RIP)-- first class guy.

I think Ben, who used to be at the Stereo Exchange in Manhattan, had a shop in Brooklyn and was authorized for a lot of more modern tube gear but I don’t know if he is still around. Peter L. also did ARC at one time.

I think you just have to dig--@inna- you are in NY metro aren’t you?
