Does anyone here do Amp repairs?

CH46E

Looking for someone that does amplifier repairs. I have 1 channel out on my NAD 906. Fuse blows as soon as I turn it on.

I'm in central FL. Local would be awesome!


Thanks for any help!

Reach out to Legendary Amps, also in Florida. I have used them in the past to do a complete re-furb on a Yamaha M-80. Not sure if NAD is in their wheelhouse, but it doesn't hurt to enquire.

There is a guy on CL that did the repair on my dad's TT, and I am going to have him fix a couple of receivers at some point. He did a great job, and it works perfectly.
He also builds custom tube amplifiers and preamps, IIRC. I'll see if I can find him.

Any referral in Michigan or northern Ohio would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve got a couple of older Adcoms that should be recapped before any issues arise

I couldn't find him, I'll have to ask my dad what his name was.

Much appreciated . . .
But I was just given good contact info on a "local-ish" guy

After you pay to get it fixed you will have a $200 amp Unless there is some sentimental value you might be better off taking the repair $$'s and put it toward something better.

Not sentimental, but I LOVE the way this amp sounds. I think it is certainly worth fixing, to me anyways.

Yep, his name is Kris Rhoades, or Rhoads maybe? I'm not sure.
Here is his website. http://fine-tuned.com/
I can confirm that he also does custom tube amplifier builds... They looked really sweet. He did a great job on my dad's TT.

I could use a good guy myself in the Chicago NW burbs. City is just too far. Both my B&k amps have developed a higher pitch on the left channel and run hotter also on that side.

My guess is the Bias/DC offset is off. Already called a few shops with no luck. One can work on it, but has a 6 week turn around. Anyone with repair shop suggestions, shoot some over to me also. You Rockford guys have a vintage repair shop out that way, any good ?

I only blow up... I mean attempt to fix my own stuff but I got a guy close to Aurora that might work for you. Will try and remember to post his info when I get home.

Hey Tonyb, I know you mentioned that you do not like to go to the city, but I highly recommend Stereo Rehab in Chicago, the Edgewater area. I have had several items gone through by tech Casper. Just had a Scott ss 385r receiver that I bought for my son in his shop last week. Dropped it off Friday afternoon and picked it up Saturday afternoon. His turn around is not always that quick but I have gotten to know him and asked to have it ready for Christmas. He responded by having it done in 24 hrs. And I live 75 miles or so south of him, but I like his work and he is extremely knowledgeable. Just have to get used to his quirky personality.

He did the checkup on the Revox R2R and pretty much nailed it.

Stargate Electronics in Farmingdale, NY. is the last remaining B&K service center as far as I was told.

My B&K ex-442 was running noticeably warmer on one side as well ....
Had the offset and bias adjusted last spring - runs like a champ now ....
