Took my faulty Anthem power amplifier to Ian, for some TLC, and he repaired it and gave it an internal clean. Really nice guy who knows his craft - excellent prices and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I had spent many months looking for a person to repair my amplifier. An expensive amplifier, after more than 20 years of service, the sound started to distort. The distortion increased the longer the amplifier was used. This indicated that it was heat related fault – possibly a dry joint or joints. The difficulty was looking for a person who had the patience and the skill to do this delicate fault finding professionally and not charge me a bomb for it. It is so easy to be given the run around with this type of problem.I phoned around speaking to the various people offering such repair services near me. A common reply was, as it was over 20 years old, it is difficult to repair as it was difficult to get replacement parts. Mmmm – perhaps this was an excuse for a high charge, or was he cautious or just negative? I just did not feel right. That was from my inner self. I was on the verge of ditching the idea of repairing because of the uncertainty so I was thinking of purchasing a new amplifier. I thought, I should try Ian Davies as a last attempt even though he was an hour’s drive away. I phoned him and there was a re-assuring voice saying – “I will look at it and do my best”. I could feel the confidence and honesty in his approach.I left my beloved amplifier with Ian and collected it a week later. He explained how he had re-soldered all the micro-joints. He showed me images of the small solder joints of small circuit board crammed with components. To handle this properly you need skill and patience.The first thing when I reached home was to re-connect the amplifier. The glorious tones of the amplifier came out from the speakers. I was happy. The repair cost about 10% the price of the amplifier but it is on sale on eBay at 50% of the original price. This amplifier still holds its value after 20 years.Thank you, Ian Davies. Your help is much appreciated. More...

I have recently had a repair carried out by Ian on HIWATT guitar amp which required a new transformer. I also had repairs completed on a 32 year old Linn turntable. Extremely pleased with the results - Ian's knowledge of these things is second to none and I thoroughly recommend his services. More...

I can 100% recommend Ian’s services. He recently reconditioned a Meridian 551 stereo amplifier and replaced the CD/DVD drive on a Meridian 598 player for me. An excellent job for a very reasonable charge, and a thoroughly pleasant man to deal with. Very knowledgable too, and gave me some useful pointers on what kind inexpensive add-on DAC I should get to hook the digital 598 to the analogue 551. Recommended without reservation. Stephen T.

I found an Ariston RD80 Transcription Turntable in my loft that I shamefully discarded in the late 1980's having found the dubious delights of Compact Disc. She was woefully neglected having spent the best part of thirty years in my loft. She cost me a fortune (relatively) in the mid 1980's so I thought she might still have some worth.Some research on the internet revealed that she still is valuable.For whatever reason (I still don't know why) I had cut off the power lead prior to it's loft storage. Clearly she needed a repair and refurbishment.I found Ian Davies on the internet and I'm so glad I did. He truly is a HI-FI enthusiast.He has restored her fully to her former glory for a very reasonable price. The price was agreed in advance and wasn't exceeded.Ian is a truly gifted, enthusiastic and talented man who is also thoroughly decent and honest. I can make no higher recommendation than that. I wouldn't use anyone else in the future. More...

Ian responded very quickly to my enquiry and agreed to look at my ancient Pioneer Amplifier for £20.00. There was interference and crackling from various knobs. He anticipated it just needed a good clean & service at an estimated cost of £40-£60 in total so we agreed a drop off time. He thought it would take about two weeks but contacted me within a week to say it was all done. He'd had to replace a bulb so the bill was £45 plus the £20 deposit. It's now all up and running and back to its former clear sounds so I can enjoy my Vinyls & CDs again. Brilliant. Ian's a very pleasant man who certainly knows his stuff. Highly recommended. More...

I took my two PA amps to Ian, both of which had faults. Ian checked and serviced both of them. He fixed the faults he found after updating me with the cost and his findings. His attention to detail is excellent and even found a fault with an led that I wasn't aware of. He listened to my diagnosis but took the time to fully check and test the amps. This meant that he didn't need to fit parts or carry out work that was unnecessary. I was quoted the almost the same price as Ian charged for repairing both amps for just diagnosing one by another company. I would certainly use Ian again and he will be my go to guy for future repairs or issues. More...

I had a fantastic customer experience dealing with Ian who was the only person who could fix my Cambridge Audio sub. I purchased the home cinema system from Richer Sounds and then phoned them when the sub stopped working (out of warranty). I was told to bring the unit to store, pay £80 to send it to an engineer and then I would be told the repair cost. By comparison when I took the Cambridge Audio Minx x200 subwoofer to ian he not only phoned me with progress (even on a Sunday) but managed to resurrect the unit from the dead for a very reasonable cost. In summary it was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend Ian. More...
