Stereo Repair-High-end,tube,analog and digital audio
Description
Centrally located, we are easily accessible from all major highways in Suffolk County. We are open 9-4 Monday through Friday, Saturday 10-12 Noon. We have a pleasant and professional looking reception area. We accept cash, MC/VISA, AMEX, and Discover. Major repairs are guaranteed for six months, cleaning and customer installed autosound products excluded. We have been in business over thirty years, the past fifteen at our present location.
Our service area is clean, attractive and well lighted. We maintain an extensive service library on paper, microfiche and CD-ROM. We are well stocked with replacement parts. We use original parts when replacement is made, either supplied by Mfgr. or the same item from OEM sources. We do not, for example, use "universal replacement " semiconductors. We also maintain type integrity in our replacement of passive components, never using a carbon resistor in place of a film or bulk metal type or using a mylar cap in place of a foil polypropylene, for example. We use high quality, low residue solder from reliable suppliers and silver bearing solder where required. We have (and routinely use) a comprehensive array of test equipment, test tapes, gauges,and standard test CD’s. We are very familiar with vacuum tube equipment and have extensive experience in this technology that pre-dates the current "Revival". We have applied much time and effort in the setup of our shop in order to do our work in a efficient professional manner. Taking pride in our work and the relationship we have with our customers, we provide prompt and professional service for the consumer in need of repair of audio equipment.
The main audio bench is a 12ft. dual station workbench. The equipment is arranged so that one side is best suited for power amplifier and tuner repair, the other being set up for playback sources such as CD players, tape decks, DAT recorders etc. There is sufficient flexibility so that any audio item can be serviced at either location. Two matching benches are located opposite the main bench. One is used for mechanical repairs and routine maintenance,the other for video equipment.The flexible nature of the repair stations is due to the custom made test fixtures on each side of the bench. These allow the item being repaired to be connected to monitor speakers, dummy loads or internal monitor amplifiers. The item being repaired can be connected to Level Meters, Distortion Analyzers, O’Scopes, Wow & Flutter meters, CD audio sources or Audio Generators. This is accomplished by relay switching or direct switching of I/O sources . High level (speaker level) signals are input via a 6 pin Alacatel 20A pro audio jack, then switched to monitor speakers or internal 200W Dale non-inductive wire wound resistors. The instrument relays and switches connect the various pieces of test equipment to the appropriate source. Low level sources are input through high quality input jacks, then routed to the internal monitor amp and, as above, the signal is sent to the desired test equipment. All bench connection cables are made from rope-braid copper cable of 12 or 14 gauge. Audiophile grade cables are used for low level signal sources. A system of adapters or designated cables provides secure connection to any equipment regardless of the type of connector on the item under test. All important tests can be done quickly and without having to find patch cords, hook up equipment, search out adapters, etc. This enables us to do complete and thorough tests on all equipment we repair. All test equipment can be disconnected from the fixtures and directly connected for special tests or equipment requirements.The fixtures and wiring are of high quality, making use of heavy gauge and low loss wiring. All instruments are well grounded to a common bus consisting of dual 12 gauge solid copper wire. 12 gauge rope braid wire is used for individual grounds to the bus. Equipment under test can be connected to a heavy duty AC isolated supply that includes a Variac and AC leakage tester.
