Good Repair in southern California...

Hi, is it the Scan Audio in Van Nuys you guys are refering to? If so, thank you so much, sure sounds scary. I was about to take mine over to them but I trusted your judgement. Any other recommendations in the LA county area?

Thnks,Tvad. I hate being out there alone on this. The following is a TRUE statment.--Goes back to the late 80's. It was my first tube pre.The AR9. I was getting all this noise from the phono. I took it to them. They kept it for 3 weeks. They couldn't find anything wrong but I payed 40 bucks and it still had the prob.--- A day latter I discovered on my own, I needed a new tube.That was all!! Great Techs huh??------BTW, Howard, over there on Ventura Blvd ain't much better---(re. time and money) Tube gear ?? Take it to Monrovia.

Addendum--- Stay away from Scan Audio; unless you're repairing mid fi stuff.vcrs and whatnots.
They,scan, have had a piece of mine for 2 months,to do a 1hr. job.I even included an email from the designer. It contained instructions;along with his cell #---In the email he states how easy a job it is.----- PAY 75 an hr.---You can get untrained help for 40/50 an hr. It takes them 5xs longer and you may have issues after the so called 'cheap' repair.
