Willmax Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 Adept were very Inept when it came to a Yamaha B1 amp I had, no clue whatsoever, even though they are supposed to be Yamaha Authorised repairer. They might be ok with other amps/repairs but I have no experience of my own.
Sub Sonic Posted September 2, 2018 Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Unfortunately Inept also ruined a custom amplifier I had... by simply neglecting to place heatsink paste between a transistor and mica washer. The resulting problem took out a number of other components in the amp and also smoked a coaxial speaker driver. Edited September 2, 2018 by Sub Sonic
DrTobiasFunke Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 So does that mean there is no-one recommended in Adelaide? Bummer... And sorry if I'm not following.... but who is Bruno? Thanks!

He makes his own stuff. He repairs anything hi-fi related. He sets up turntables. He is an SNA member (Cello Sweet.) His email is listed above. He knows his stuff. I have entrusted him with my gear - he is meticulous. 100% guaranteed you will be impressed. 3
DrTobiasFunke Posted September 3, 2018 Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks for the response Darth.... I look forward to experiencing Bruno's magic:) 1 1
mattjtaylor2809 Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I can 2nd Bruno, he’s performed a few repairs for me & he’s very good 1
Solanum Posted September 8, 2018 Posted September 8, 2018 I had some work done on a Linn amp, went through Jim Tate. They didn't do it themselves, but had someone they work with to do that here in Adelaide. No idea whether it was this Bruno chap, but you could give them a ring and see if you can get the name off them?

Expand I would have thought more likely a small signal transistor but yes caps do play up in them. Many Melb recommendations in this thread.

I'm wanting to replace the OPAMPS in my Weilang AKM 4497EQ DAC with trannys, and possibly change the power supply from 220v to a proper 240v one Expand In theory we now live in a 230V country so changing the PS around might not change very much.

att23 Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 Hi all, I am a newbie especially when it comes to turntable and repair. I have a loose (green) ground wire that came undone from under the tonearm, hence constant hum/hissing noise. In my mind, I think it may be a simple repair/ soldering job for someone with the right tools/equipment. The annoying thing is that the super thin wire is manufactured quite short and my fingers are not delicate enough to fiddle with it, while tilting open the turntable base at same time. I don’t even have a magnifying glass. Anyway, from quick scanning of the thread, I assume the following ppl can do the job? Any other recommendations? Kimil Electronics, Rage Audio, JVP service centre Any idea roughly how much? Any other advice appreciated.

You may get it repaired but may be a small amount more and easier to do a full re-wire. That way it’s fixed and you get an upgrade. Win/win.

Expand I have the EAT B-Note tonearm, came with the turntable I bought not so long ago brand new. So I don’t think I need any full rewiring yet...? It’s my 1st turntable, I’m learning very slowly, so happy to be told I’m wrong. Come to think of it, I may be able to claim warranty. I shall ask if I can get it fixed locally or I have to pack and send interstate etc which could be a pain. Tbh, if it’s cheap, I am happy to get it fixed locally and bare the cost myself.

The rest of 5 all seems fine. Amp itself is worth about $100 so do not want to spend much. I might contact from Ascending order and see how it goes. Thank you.. Expand Don't know about Dallas Clarke simply doing high end audio... Fixed up my little Sui au-101 beautifully... Worth a call...

Wimbo Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Its soo funny sometimes. People think all repairs must be cheap and techs work for peanuts. My take on it is... If you want a good job done by a good tech then you need to pay him or her good money. If not, we would have no techs. 2
