@slaw what are u talking about?  
Tube Amp or Tube Pre Amp
Tube preamp with the right solid state or hybrid amp. Tube amps just have too much maintenance for me, especially my older ones that don’t autobias I have PSAudio BHK 300 monoblocks and also the Stellar M1200 monoblocks. My tube preamp is the stel... 
Black ice Audio owners, pet peaves
I have the Black Ice preamp in my exercise room audio system.  It's even spent time in my refernce system.  It's a helluvs preamp for not a lot of money imo.  When I put the Linlai 6SN7 tube in for the stock one, the improvement in tonal colors an... 
Power cord upgrade
Grover Huffman Pharoah power cable.  You will thank me later   
Fosi V3 Mono...when inexpensive satisfies
I got a 300 wpc Fosi class D amp for an desktop system in my office. I am really impressed with the sound quality and it’s musicality. Excellent cheap streaming amplifier.  
CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports
In my system my Melco CD transport thru the Melco N50 server into a heavily modded Teac NT-505 dac sounds better than the Melco N50 server thru the same dac.  Both sound better than Qobuz streaming through the same DAC.  If I gave them number rati... 
Quick question for the Cables Don't Make a Difference Crowd.
Many of us, I think, have a limit on what we will pay for cables - either out of necessity or choice.  I know to my ears that cables sound different.  Finding outsized performance within a reasonable price is my goal.  I have about 6000 total in s... 
Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail!
I just acquired brand new Stellar PSAudio M 1200 hybrid class D monblocks.  Though I have less than 75 hours on them, I find them to have exceptional clarity with a wide deep soundstage with very nice extension.  Very fine, reasonably priced ampli... 
PS audio m1200
Just set up my M1200 monoblock amps.  I am smitten.  They are clean, clear, textured with tremendous spatial qualities.  I mean, they are barely warm and for sure not broken in but I love their sonic signature.

Thanks for posting.  Is he a repair shop limited to certain brands or does he attempt to repair all or most brands?  
Is It Worh Modding An Amp
I have had excellent results modding multiple amps, both solid state and tube.  Never once failed to get an improvement in sound.  What's the downside?  One downside is resale value.  However, I buy my equipment for my own sonic enjoyment so...  
Would like to try a tube preamp after years of solid state and hybrid
Aric Audio Motherlode.  I liked it so much, I bought a second one for one of my other two channel systems.  No desire to look elsewhere.  
Stack Audio-SmoothLAN Network Filter- WOW!
I am waiting on my second filter.  The one nice thing about this filter is that it does not favor any part of the frequency spectrum.  Really a noticeable impact on adding space, tonal density and impact.
