M3 Nu Vista Amp
Thanks John. The amp sounds so much better now. And I appreciate too your recommendation for the turntable and for upgrading the phono stage in preparation. Now enjoying all my old vinyl – puts CDs to shame.
Power Amplifier upgrade
5 years ago John upgraded the capacitors in my amps to help them drive my Thiel 2.4 speakers, the improvement was amazing. John has recently completed the final stage upgrade by replacing the transformers and adding even more capacitors. The impact has been transformational. They sound so much more powerful, I have depths of bass […]
Musical Fidelity
Yet another purchase off Ebay, with a noisy volume, not just noisy when the volume was touched, but extremely LOUD cracks through the speakers. Spoke with John about a repair initially and dropped the amp into his workshop, socially distanced and masked of course. Spoke again with John as to the problem and was given […]
Power amp rebuild
A bit late with this review. A couple of years back I purchased a Meridian 557on Ebay for a reasonable price as there was an intermittent fault on one channel. When I ran the amp there was a variation between channels and so I searched for a specialist to repair the amp. Meridian did not […]
Delighted with the difference A308
I have been a audio enthusiast for about 10 years, as perhaps most chasing a sound that I am happy with. Plenty of speaker amplifier combinations have come and gone. My musical fidelity A308 Integrated came the closest but after John working his magic on my amplifier with his upgrade service the difference it has […]
Correction to earlier testimonial (Poenix rise from some ashes)
Phoenix rise from some ashes I wrote ‘0 weeks later…’ that should have been ’10 weeks later’. Still a great turnaround!
Poenix rise from some ashes
My 20 year old Elektra e100 was half dead with one channel completely gone and horrible static buildups and spiking threatening speaker safety, the amp was in desperate need of saving. My local MF repair company (local being within 50 miles) held on to it for over a year and was not able to fix […]
MUSE Model 300 repair & upgrade
So glad I found John who was able to advise on repair and upgrade options for these old amps, they’ve been repaired twice before so I wanted to make sure they stand the test of time. Decided to go the whole hog which entailed: – upgrading the toroidal transformers from 500VA to 1000VA (custom built […]
P150 Repair and Upgrade
I’ve deliberately delayed submitting this review to let the amp settle down and bed in but I’m very impressed. The control and clarity that the amp now has would cost an awful lot of money if buying new but this is achieved without sounding clinical just smooth authoritative powerful sound it’s an addictive mix. I’m […]
KW 250s
Now that I have had time to listen properly and to after a lot of tinkering with my system finally got to a place I am happy with I feel able to review John’s work. The first most obvious difference was that the sound seemed airier. More space around the notes and instruments, generally more […]
