I have been able to pull my system from storage, and last year worked enough overtime to upgrade or purchase new equipment, but I have not upgraded my turntable/tonearm/cartridge yet. My turntable is...

    Referal for re-wire, bearing check/replacement for Fidelity Research FR64s and Technics EPA B500

    So You Want To Repair Audio gear, Eh? Here's the tools you need...

    I have been wanting to get into testing/upgrading/repairing some of my current pieces for awhile (both tube and SS) and am very interested in the subject.

    Forgot to add... I would like suggestions on who would be best to do the speaker repair/surrounds.... I would rather have a pro do this as the woofers are unobtainable. Private message with suggestions if fine.
