Audolab 8000A refurbishment
Well I’ve been listening to my refurbished amp for a bit over a week now. I have to say the sound is fantastic, just fantastic. There is amazing clearness and a sense of space that I now realise was not there before. It is such a pleasure to listen to. What I particularly like is […]

My 4 X-A200 monobloc power amplifiers had been switched on for 20 years so were getting a bit tired I decided to put them in the capable hands of JS Audio for a total rebuild…..well the results were absolutely remarkable.

Musical Fidelity A308 – Stage 2
After discussions with John, I recently purchased a Stage 2 Musical Fidelity A308 Amplifier from him. This was an alternative I chose to having John upgrade my existing Musical Fidelity A3.2 to Stage 2. The unit arrived in excellent condition in original MF packaging and with the original paperwork. I’m running Spendor BC1 speakers and […]

He completely rebuilt the input stages of the amp with quality components which he matched for performance and added heat sinks to keep the high running temperature down. Then he completely checked and adjusted the […]

Nu Vista Vinyl upgrade
I thought my Nu Vista Vinyl phono stage was good as standard, however John convinced me that his upgrade would take it to the next level, he wasn’t joking!! It took a couple of weeks for the unit to bed in, but the improvements were dramatic the detail and sonics were in sharp focus, and […]
