Recommendations for tube preamp (Emotive Audio Sira) repair in the Raleigh/Durham NC area?
My apologies if this is posted to the wrong section!
Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop or individual who may be able to help repair an all-tube preamp, in or around the RTP region of NC?
I have an older Emotive Audio Sira preamp, and (it seems) a couple of the tubes have stopped receiving power. My limited knowledge and googling seems to indicate that this might be a problem with a shorted filament or possibly a loose wire.
I've reached out to Fred at Emotive but its been over a decade since I've spoken with him, and have no idea if he's even still active or would be a resource. While I wait to (hopefully) hear back from him, I'm looking into other, more local options.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Ah ok then it's definitely not a bad tube. I would imagine you will hear back from Fred Volz I know Emotive is still in business. I don't know any techs in NC but if you can't find one a couple not too far away recs: Musical Technology in VA. Deja Vu Audio in VA. MT is a great repair shop and DV is a retail store that builds their one tube amps and I'm sure could fix yours. |
Thank you @jond! I’ll check out those places out if I need work in the future - I’m in VA often enough. I appreciate you taking the time to share those suggestions. |
I had a Sira in my system for a short period. When Fred released the Epifania I moved up to that. If you ever want to take your Sira up a few notches you should speak with Fred about the CuTf V-Caps and the autoformer volume control. My Epifania is #002. I went from the original caps, to Sonicaps, to the V-Caps. |
