What a fun surprise. I found Randy and his amazing little shop online. We drove up from Huntington…read moreBeach, wow, did it ever end up being worth the drive. My wife and I met Randy and both immediately liked him. He sat there on the couch listening while Randy put on an absolute clinic. We learned a lot about turn tables and saw options from 500 to 225000 dollars ...and everything in between. We got to talking about things he had in stock and that's when we came across the VPI HW-40 anniversary. Number 62 of 400. I immediately fell in love. We agreed on a price and I was off with my new rig. I am blown away by how great this thing sounds. A nice benefit of dealing with a pro like Randy is that it was all set up and ready to go. I'm already back in contact discussing phono stage options. Do yourself a favor and check his shop out. You'll be glad you did.

While there, he took the time to explain all of the things that make Vandersteen's special. He even played the state-of-the-art Model 5's from back then. As a budding audio geek I was floored. Fast forward to 2018. Randy's kindness and expertise still stuck in my mind, I returned to his Santa Monica shop. This time, I was ready for the whole-enchilada! 5A Carbons, AR amp and pre amp, Basis table. The works. Randy set them up perfectly and I can't thank him enough. Randy and his team are the real deal. Highly recommended.

He was happy to pass on his wealth of knowledge and let me make an educated decision. I'll be returning in the future for further guidance and purchases. Highly recommend.

Craig, whose job is to answer phones, tells me that Terry, their technician won't repair my Yamaha…read moreAW4416 Digital Audio Workstations, because "the parts to fix it are no longer available and there is no documentation." I said to Craig, "Excuse my language but that's BULLSHIT!" Craig immediately chastised me for using that word. I then told Craig that even CNN broadcasts that word on air. His response to me was, "So now you're bringing politics into it? I replied...NO! Craig hung up on me. I phoned back to apologize to Craig for my language(not really) and to explain to him that Mouser Electronics, a well-known national electronic parts distributor, has over 8,000 of the one part needed for that specific repair, currently in stock. In addition, the internet has many videos, photos and written instructions about how to disassemble the product and perform that specific repair. Also, the Yamaha AW4416 service manual can be easily downloaded. Craig wouldn't take my phone call so I spoke with a female employee(name began with an R) who told me that AME no longer repairs "hard disk recorders" and in fact had stopped repairing them several years ago. However, the front page of AME's website clearly states that they repair "hard disk recorders". They also state..."We can fix almost anything!" To that I say... BULLSHIT! STAY FAR AWAY from this place. They are liars and way out of their depth. More then half of their Yelp reviews are 1 star! UPDATE: Audio Rehab in Glendale agreed to repair my three Yamaha AW4416's for $290 each including the two hours of labor and the one $20 part. That money could have gone to AME. I'm relieved and happy that it didn't.

Upon arriving I was greeted by a young gentleman, which I didn't get his name, he seemed like a nice guy. Then came Stephon, we talked business first, took my info down and gave me the receipt with an assurance he was going to pinpoint the problem to my cassette deck and fix it. Then he gave me his philosophical ideas about how we listen to music, and how a lot of it has been made wrong , then proceeded to hand me a mixtape cd, all bangers by the way. There was a bit of a wait to get a call back about my cassette deck repairs, like a solid 2 weeks if not a bit more couple days passed. At first I was bit concerned but I remained to stay positive and trusted the process Anyways it's been a couple weeks I got my Nakamichi back and it works great and I couldn't be more happier. Stephon you and your team are a master of the craft of repair. Thank you again.
