Are there any good techs in the Boulder Denver area? I just discovered my Onkyo m-508 main caps have leaked some and while everything is working grand and measuring out perfect bias and offset wise I'd like to get these replaced sooner rather then later....

One of the D-town regulars might be able to help and probably save you some coin! Got a suberb bunch up of AK'ers down there!
 
I'd love for an at home tech to do the work instead of a shop...it seems like someone that has a passion for the gear does better work then a shop would.
 
There is a guy who works out of his house here in the Denver metro area. He specializes in vintage electronics. I have used him several times and he is very good. He advertises on Denver CL alot. If you cant find his ad, pm me and I will send you his phone.

I have used the same individual, many times. Honest, accurate and fair pricing.
 
It is indeed Dr. Dan. Darn good guy. Call him during the day as it might take awhile for him to email you. He doesnt charge to look and diagnose your gear. I bought an R2R from him that he had on CL. He has another up, the Teac A-2300SX. I recognize his phone on that one.
A while back I bought an SX-950 for $50 off CL that was in protection. Took it to him and he got it up and running for me. Turns out someone sent voltage in through the pre-amp jacks on the back. Fried some of the traces on the circuit board. He also diagnosed my Teac 7010 GSL R2R. Someone took one of the IC chips on the input board so it wont record. Didnt charge me for that. If anyone can do the work you want, it is Dr. Dan. He stands behind his work. Give him a call.

He worked an a Technics SA-303 receiver for me a few years back. One channel stopped working so he replaced an amp section in it and cleaned it all up. The issue returned a few months later and he went in again to check it out, and got it going again (A few loose caps) for no charge.
 
Wow sounds like I can trust him...like I said everything is actually still working well on this amp, if i hadn't seen the cl;ear signs of leaking caps...and the known history of this model to go through caps, I'd have no idea they were bad.

Told ya the Denver folks look out for their own!

Oh and Kermit, send those speakers we discussed home with Mike Anderson on Saturday!
 
Well I called Dr.Dan this morning..he seems nice and knowledgeable and his price range seems fair so within the next week or so I'll be dropping her off:)
