Ressurecting An Amazing Audiolab 8000A

Join me as I repair one of my all-time favourite integrated amplifiers, a classic, made-in-England Audiolab 8000A. I'd first like to thank Steven for generously donating this old beauty and a couple of other pieces rather than sending them to recycling, as usually happens when they get to this point. This article is dedicated to Steven and others like him who've kindly and environmentally thoughtfully donated pieces like this Audiolab 8000A rather than scrapping them....

Beautiful Pioneer SA-8800 II Amplifier Repair

Join me this time as I bring a beautiful Pioneer SA-8800 II integrated amplifier back to life! I should preface this article by noting that I've probably repaired a couple of dozen Pioneer SA-8 # # # and SA-9 # # # amplifiers over the last couple of years, including this stunning Pioneer SA-8900 II, and this SA-9800.

Stunning Yamaha GT-2000L Turntable Service

Join me as I service what I think is one of the most beautiful high-performance turntables of all time, the Yamaha GT-2000L. OK, so what is a Yamaha GT-2000L, I hear you ask. Well, it's a regular near-30kg Yamaha GT-2000 direct drive turntable, a favourite I've written about many times, but with a light (maybe oak) real-wood veneer, as opposed to the classic black veneers we so commonly see from Japan, and Yamaha in particular....
