Who do you like for equipment mods?


For amps and preamps, I highly recommend Bob Backert at RHB Sound Dezigns. He’s very friendly to do business with, turnaround time is always as promised, and his prices are very fair. He is thorough and systematic in talking through work to be done.

He’s modded my Pass Labs Xono which now sounds so much better I’ve stopped listening to CDs. He’s best known for tube work. He fixed my Counterpoint SA 20 hybrid power amp without schematics - a favorite of mine. He’s also done a Pass XVR-1, a Threshold S/550e and some work on my Pass Labs X0.2. He's in PA outside of Philly. Check out his website.

For vintage tuners, you can't go wrong with Ken Bernacky at Stereo Surgeons in the Hartford CT area. He's been doing this forever, he gives you before and after specs, he's really thorough and he gets equipment sent to him from all over the world! If you meet him in person you're in for a treat. See a reference on TIC (tuner Information center website or check out his website).

I would second your choice also; I would add Scott Franklins'(of past MFA)name to the mix, located in the San Jose area.
Scott performs excellant mods with the same results as Bob Backert; very highly recommended engineer.
Barry, I couldn't agree with you more, Bob and Gary are great people, and do wonderful work.
FWIW here is the link to RHB Sound Dezign
