Who do you like for equipment mods?


For amps and preamps, I highly recommend Bob Backert at RHB Sound Dezigns. He’s very friendly to do business with, turnaround time is always as promised, and his prices are very fair. He is thorough and systematic in talking through work to be done.

He’s modded my Pass Labs Xono which now sounds so much better I’ve stopped listening to CDs. He’s best known for tube work. He fixed my Counterpoint SA 20 hybrid power amp without schematics - a favorite of mine. He’s also done a Pass XVR-1, a Threshold S/550e and some work on my Pass Labs X0.2. He's in PA outside of Philly. Check out his website.

For vintage tuners, you can't go wrong with Ken Bernacky at Stereo Surgeons in the Hartford CT area. He's been doing this forever, he gives you before and after specs, he's really thorough and he gets equipment sent to him from all over the world! If you meet him in person you're in for a treat. See a reference on TIC (tuner Information center website or check out his website).

Jafant,nice to hear your words. Bill Thalmann of Music Technology(.com) is a exceptional professional in this industry.My experience with him was with the highest level equipment He is also one of the very few qualified/approved Apogee Ribbon Installers. 
Frank Van Alstine modded my old Dynaco FM-5 tuner about 30 years ago.  It sounded much, much better than my Magnum Dynalab Etude tuner which I ended up selling. Still have the Dynaco.

Thanks, didn't know he still did mods. 
As we enter into 2018, besides Bill Thalmann, are the others guys mentioned above still operational?  Any new names to add in this thread?

Happy Listening!
I have enjoyed my Sony's with VSE mods installed by either Bill Thalmann (east coast) or Warren Gregoire (west coast).  Positive experiences with both.
