Have you ever owned a product that was almost perfect but just lacked that touch more bass extension, separation or some other quality? It can most likely be achieved with some careful tweaking to `voice` it differently, please feel free to contact me to discuss one-off projects.

  • Tuning of pre and power amps using a selection of capacitors to voice to customer`s requirements.
    E.g. They can be modified to give a fuller bass or more top-end extension and detail according to system requirements.
  • Battery power supply modifications to turntables giving great gains in speed stability, separation and imaging.
  • Speaker crossover mods to classic designs including re-alignment due to ageing of drive units.
    I build a passive crossover for the BBC LS5/8 to order. Metal-dome tweeters can be toned-down subtly.
  • Stepped attenuator upgrades.
  • Open baffle speaker designs are available for demonstration.
  • One-off projects undertaken.

Prices are realistic.

I have been trained by Stanley Beresford to upgrade his range of  Beresford DACS:

Mod 21, wiring link mod, chip changes and power supply upgrades etc.

“As previously intimated I am very pleased with the upgrade to my TC-7510 which you performed . However I think it is important that you point out to customers that the unit takes app. 24 hours use before it performs at its’ best . After this time I can report to you that I experienced improvements in all areas of performance.

The soundstage is much bigger . Bass is tighter and cleaner , driving the music along without overpowering it. Midrange is also much cleaner , voices in particular are more expressive , all eminating from a much quieter background . Also top end is excellent , cymbals and tambourines in particular sounding much more realistic. I was listening to a track which I know well the other day and what I thought was a xylophone turned out to be pan pipes . The system now has a much greater sense of  ‘air ‘ and has become much more ‘holographic ‘ .

Improvements not very easy to describe but very easy to hear. The system appears to be improving incrimentally with use. Many thanks for a fantastic service . It has been a pleasure to deal with you , and I look forward to availing myself of any further upgrades in the future.

Best Regards,

Brian Mclean.“
