Hope the patient recovers quickly! Love the store, tough lead time though. AS I told you I brought mine in this week and it will be with a technician this coming Tuesday - although I have to pay quite a bit.
I guess he works on McIntosh also? I'll be needing to have some vintage McIntosh equipment looked at and probably recapped in the future. I have no idea how much that may cost nowadays? Do you know of any other DFW area shops David? I've heard of one on the Fort Worth side but never have been able to get the name of it at least yet. Thanks for the video. Brian in Fort Worth 🎶
If you enjoy what you’re hearing don’t feel compelled as although newer equipment can offer more bells and whistles, the core of older units are better IMO.
Hi David. Thanks for this. I have a QX-949 too. What's the symptoms you're having? Mine works great, phono makes a faint buzz, an 2 of my scope lights are out.
Phono stage has crackling noise. I use external phono stage for stereo but went to play CD-4 which requires use of phono inputs on unit to demodulate the 30khz signal and that’s when I discovered it.
Cool video, 5 techs that's impressive.
Hi David, I feel safe now. “Reel” glad you posted. Thanks for such a good interview, mom and pop shops are hard business.

Hi David, no big sales around here today.
The Willsenton is a nice sounding tube amp in it's price range.

I will ask him about McIntosh. I have to ask a friend about Fort Worth area.
@@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion Thank you for doing that David! I really appreciate it.
Yes, we repair McIntosh all the time, both tube and solid state.
@@metzgervintageaudio that is great news and thank you for the reply! I will definitely be getting in touch with you soon. Thanks again!
Glad to know we have a Vintage shop in DFW.
Hi David - I have an old school Denon PMA770 and it does a great job to my ears. Should I feel any pressure to modernise?

@SafeAndSoundTXAudioExcursion have you updated your scope lights? Id love to find an easier fix to replace them with LEDs
