Looking for a good valve amp specialist close to Gloucestershire

[lordmortlock]

I've got a couple of valve amps here I'd like serviced and tweaked. Not had a lot of luck with couriers recently so I'd rather drop them off and collect later so wondering if anyone could recommend me a specialist in, say, an hours drive from GL5 please?

Thanks wammers

Mike Barker is down Devizes way. It's not far from GL5 as the crow flies, but country roads can be slow so I don't know if it's further than you want to go ...

David D had a good experience recently with Mike http://www.hifiwigwam.com/showthread.php?86726-Wanted-QUAD-II-mains-transformer and I've always found him very open and honest, not that I've ever had him do any work for me (I do all my own).

I can recommend Amplabs in Kempsey Worceter. Very reasonably priced if not the fastest at replying to emails - phone is much better though.

Nice one, thanks both. Cheers for the pm too Ian, I'll get on the phone tomorrow.

EDIT Chris ... just realised Robert has done some work on some Quad kit for me before. The service was very good, hadn't clocked he was good with valves too.

I've used both of them and have no complaint with the work they carried out.

Tube Distinctions is just over the border near Cardiff. Anthony Mathews is a real gent and does outstanding work.
