Help? I need contact info for Chris Brady of Teres Audio.

My Esoteric DV-50S died. Where do I go next?
Yes, jafant. The Digital Doctor picked it up a few days ago and thinks he can fix it. It's going to cost a bit though to repair, but it's not beyond reason. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. mahler123, the Magnetar is pretty pricey where I am,... 
My Esoteric DV-50S died. Where do I go next?
Thanks jafant.   bdp24, the tray issue was with the K-01, which has since been repaired. The belt was precisely the the problem as you noted. With the DV-50S,  the problem is that the player is simply not reading any disc. This will require a bi... 
My Esoteric DV-50S died. Where do I go next?
No, the importer wasn't specific about which part needed replacing. However, another independent repairman,  with whom I've worked previously, is going to pick up the machine on Monday and try to fix it. If he fails, then I'll probably be looking ...

Warning: China-Hifi-Audio.com
50 kilo amps are not cheap to ship to the US from China. Trust me on that. I live in Korea. It costs a hell of a lot to ship something from the US to me. As for the Chinese made amps, I'd recommend getting them through Singapore. I got my Line Mag... 
New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
"No way I am putting Texas tap water on my LP’s."My tap water isn't great either. It's not about the quality of the tap water, though filtering can be used to improve it, but rather what the water does under high pressure to clean the record. I st... 
New Hobby Ultrasonic Record Cleaning
I second Herman's post about the Gem Dandy Record Cleaner. I still use my Ultrasonic V-8 machine for a final treatment after the Gem Dandy treatment. I add a few tablespoons of alcohol and a 6-8 drops of Photoflo to the tank, per David Radcliffe's... 
Replace a Rogue Tempest with Cayin CS845A, Ayon Triton 2, Unison Research, or Mastersound?
I just wanted to follow up on this thread. I recently purchased and received the Line Magnetic 805ia integrated amplifier, the Singapore Edition, from Robert Lai of Live Acoustics in Singapore. Robert’s prices are extraordinarily good, and unlike ... 
Is easy to know when a non english speaker is writting?
Yes, it is pretty easy to tell when someone is foreign to the English language. It's also pretty easy to tell when a native speaker of English is also foreign to the language. None of it really matters though. If you apply the principle of charity...
