"My, what big tubes you have"

Over the last 40-odd years I have repaired literally thousands of audio products. Audio systems I have worked on include domestic Hi-Fi and Home Cinema, professional systems such as mixing consoles, Digital Audio Workstations and sound-reinforcement, through to highly specialised systems ranging from diagnostic audiometry, to complex IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) systems for major international airlines.
