Is there an Angie’s List for audio gear repair?

[Def_Doorknob]

Is there a list of reputable repair shops by location that have reviews?

I have searched here trying to find someone to go through my Pioneer SX-1250 receiver (I’m the second owner), but the only post I saw was from 2015 and didn’t contain much helpful info.

I’m in Phoenix, AZ. My receiver is working, however, it wants to clip at around -30 to -40 volume. Also, I have a Pioneer PL-570 that sounds very dull when playing vinyl, so it may need a tune up as well.

I have watched some YouTube videos from guys like xraytonyb etc. who seem to be very thorough but don’t offer any contact info except to their patreon channel.

Sounds like a great idea for a web site.....

it wants to clip at around -30 to -40 volume

while that is not a very good indicator, it is not uncommon for a cd to provide a strong enough signal to cause a vintage unit to clip at the position on the knob.

my sx1010 and sx 3900 are both at full power by that point using a cd+dac, which provides a very high signal level.

I know a great guy in Wyoming that does all the tech work for me. He is a retired electrical engineer from the aerospace industry. He does exquisite work, at a reasonable price. If you would like me to give you his contact information, please do message me.
