As a rule, most apparatus purchased will come with a guarantee from the manufacturer. Anything beyond this period of cover will be subject for examination by an approved agent in the service sector of the given product, be it television or audio. Whilst specialist services are used, there comes a point where most modern technologies have surpassed their usable life expectancies and as such, are best replaced.

For high fidelity equipment however, there is a different approach toward the more highly engineered sphere of quality components where servicing becomes a more realistic and viable proposition altogether; loudspeaker drive-unit foam surround replacement fitting, repair to individually damaged or blown speaker units, amplifier components replaced, turntable servicing and drive-belt replacements, cartridge fitting and alignment, stylus replacement, tone-arm balancing and so on. Our hi fi repair service extends even to the servicing of electrostatic loudspeakers or the replacement of thermionic valves.

If there is an issue with a much cherished piece of early hi-fi equipment that was rather good in it’s day, it may just require a service to return it to it’s former glory; often achieving a better sound performance than the new pretenders of hi-fi found on the high-street today. Furthermore, speaker cabinets with tired or scratched/marked lacquers can be taken away for refinishing and speaker grilles re-covered with new cloth.

All enquiries for hi fi repair will be handled with dedication and commitment from a specialist in the field.

“Very happy with the service and great to have the system back and working again. Thanks for everything – especially your persistence in sourcing the lens.”
