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).

Douglas Jesse at ASi Teknologies in Warren Michigan.Professional,helpful and quick turn around.
I have heard mods by Stan Warren that were outstanding. He is tough to get to, but if you are persistent it can be done. His stuff is amazing.
I couldn't agree more. Paul at TRL. Great guy to talk to and is very knowledgeble.
Bob Backert. I had Bob modify a CJ preamp some years ago and the results were staggering. I've since sold the preamp and had to spend almost 3x the $ to better the sound, albeit marginally. Excellent work -- fair pricing.
