Looking for a good tech in the Philadelphia, PA area.

Hi all - Had Jim check my amp out today, says everything is fine. Made suggestions as to what to look for in my rig and other things to try to quiet the noise. Only charged me for his time, was down-to-earth and was no-nonsense. The tech in North Jersey was raising his rates to $90/hour, charged a minimum of 1 hour, and had an 8-week backlog. Maybe he's worth it...? For my money, I would gladly work with Jim again.

That's great news and a thank you to @lou_setriodes . 
I have an old amp with bias drift sitting on my floor.

In the future, you might try RHB Sound Dezign, aka Backert Labs. Bob designs audio equipment and also does mods and repairs to tube equipment. He’s in Churchville, PA, north of Philly. He’s done dozens of jobs for me. The work’s outstanding, reasonably priced, with good turnaround time. I’ve known him for over 20 years and he’s a great guy too.

Bill at Music Technology is also a very good choice. Used him 2 or 3 times and always satisfied. He’s located outside DC.

Hi barrysandy - I wish! Churchville is right down the road from me, but when I called the # I found for his business, his associate told me he doesn't work on amps. If that's not correct, can you supply a # for me to call. I wanted to use him in the first place.  Thanks 

Just checked their website,,,it says they only work on pre's and phono pre's and it actually says they do not work on amps. What work has he done for you?  Thanks
