who in SoCal does Av Receiver and Amp upgrades?


I wanted to get some upgrades done to my Marantz Receiver and Outlaw 7500 amp as well as possibly changing out a few bad caps. both items are easily over 10 years old so might need to replace a few items to bring them back into factory spec. anyone have recommendations for places in Southern Cali?

I emailed a few places that do amp repairs but id like some opinions on here. some of the places are closed and some arent taking orders for awhile. I would rather not have to ship anything out of state especially my Outlaw 7500 amp since it weighs around 80lbs and dont really trust any shipping company to handle it.

not looking to do too many upgrades just upgrade the inlets to furutech FI-06 NCF add bybee filters on them, possibly upgrade some of the caps and resistors. Thanks.

A friend just had work done on his Levinson at George Meyer AV in LA with good, but not inexpensive, results.

Depending on which Marantz receiver, it might not be worth it to pay to upgrade your amps. The cost may well exceed value of trading up to better stuff. 

No disrespect but I think your problem is the Marantz AVR. I believe it's time for an upgrade and not to another AVR. 

You might give a call to Mark or others at DSS (Dynamic Sound Systems) in Carlsbad.

They've been around for 20+ years in sales and service and are also well connected with local audio resources.

I doubt your Outlaw needs anything after only about 10 years. If parts are that bad there is a problem in that short of time, you're in trouble.

 10 years is a long time for an AVR though. Not so much from a part standpoint but from a processor standpoint. It is really out of date there. Like others have said, it may be time to move on. I doubt anybody (reliable) would touch it.
