Adrian Proaudio Service

Fantastic experience with Adrian. Got my Otari ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ back to me within the week… and I hadn’t ever taken it in for service before. I was expecting a major overhaul that would of cost crazy money but Adrian just re-​calibrated the machine and fixed what needed to be fixed at a more than fair price.
There are very few people that really qualified to repair/​restore tape machines these days and Adrian has been working on them for decades. There are many aspects to understand about these… and you really have to spend a lot of time in the industry and hours at a workbench to get things right. It can be electrical, mechanical, calibration, alignment, user error… etc that can go wrong with a machine and Adrian had the experience and skills to get your machine back to being like it was fresh from the factory… as well as educate you about how to take care of your machine.
He came highly recommended by some analog recording geeks I know… real deep types that like to upgrade with Burr Brown and premium film caps. Not only was my tape machine brought back to life but he spent some time showing me how to bias the machine for different types of tape… I took him up on his recommendation for a particular brand of tape he like over what I was planning to get and it’s worked great. Again at a super reasonable repair cost too…
Tape sounds great for recording so make the most of it by having a properly maintained deck. It’s crazy to think that my ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ I bought for $ 300 sells for $ 8k new! I small investment in restoration just makes sense!

Adrian is an accomplished, and trust worthy businessman who is extremely knowledgable as well as informative about all things electronic. He is meticulous in the work he performs and in the manner in which he runs his shop, which is very clean and everything has it’s place.
Adrian rebuilt an Otari MX 5050 MKIII-​2 for me. He kept me informed as to the progress of the rebuild. When the machine was ready and when I arrived at his shop, he spent an hour reviewing all that he had done for the rebuild, and all aspects of use of the machine to be sure I understood how to properly operate and maintain the Otari.
Adrian takes great pride in his work. Give him a call… you won’t be disappointed.
I highly recommend Adrian and his business: Adrian Proaudio service
