I’m exceptionally busy working on audio components, but at some point I’ll be putting up information about my Alma Mater, the late (1960-1986), great Pacific Stereo Corporation, of which I am the owner, curator and caretaker. I work on almost all brands, and it goes without saying that the Pacific Stereo Concept, Quadraflex and Calibre brands are definitely welcome here! From Sony to Sherwood, Akai to Adcom or NAD to Nikko, Pacific Stereo can help! No one services products with more care and attention to detail. I treat every repair and rebuild as if I were doing it for myself, and you get far more than you pay for. It’s become almost impossible to find technicians who can not only work on these products competently, but who also truly care about them. And, I can often source (or correctly substitute) original and genuine, no-longer-available semiconductors and parts for many brands and models. Whether it’s monster receivers like the Pioneer SX-1980 or the Concept 16.5, turntables, tuners or amplifiers, Video-8 and S-VHS VCRs, I do it all and can help with the repair and rejuvenation of your treasured beauties. I love these old products and the music they make, because there’s just nothing like them. At Pacific Stereo, vintage audio is my passion. ![]() ![]() If you’re looking for an expert when it comes to vintage audio and video, you’ve come to the right place.
