11/13/24 RS MA5100: It sounds ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, better than it has in decades. I can’t express the depth of my appreciation for all of your hard work and (literal and figurative) heavy lifting.
10/26/24 JC MAC1900: mucho better FM! Before, the tuning was always twitchy … and very hard to dial in. It sounds glorious again … Hard to find competent tuner techs today, glad I found you on AK.
9/27/24 RC C26: I received the C26 yesterday and was very pleased with the final result. The unit looks like new! I can see why your reputation is held in high regard. Great work …
5/23/24 JK MA6100: Without source input, turned the volume up and down … listened for oddities: nothing, silence throughout the volume range. So, tunes … sounded great. The highs were open, not pinched, brighter than we remembered but VERY clear. Left-right blend was exactly in the center of the room … the volume hits 8-9 and we see if the highs remain clear: Yep. Well done!

I’m now enjoying Steely Dan’s “Plush TV Jazz Rock Party 2000” … I’ve always regarded their music as the best test of any stereo system, and she handles it with aplomb. Also, her FM-tuner has never sounded better. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you; you’ve made my ears very happy.
11/13/23 DA via AudioKarma: Bob re-furbed my MAC4300V and it works like new. It’s prominently featured in my main system … Bob made it function like new. Thank you. He is very thorough and communicates very well so you know you’re in good hands.

MM 3/28/23: Bob the Tech Audio was great and easy to work with. Bob took a McIntosh preamp that was giving me trouble with static, noise and dropouts and fixed it beautifully. He maintained great communications and replied quickly to my questions as he went through the unit and gave me an honest assessment of the problems. Within a few days of sending the unit to him, it was repaired and on it’s way back to me with a reasonable repair price. The stereo sounds great again. Bob’s awesome and I would highly recommend him to anyone.
MM 3/29: I wish I got to meet you. You’re a good man.
MM 2/25/23: You’re awesome Bob.
GR via Audiokarma 12/19/22: I just want to share my recent experience with Bob the Tech Audio … He recently serviced and restored our McIntosh C32 preamp, and we are very pleased with his work. Bob gave prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable answers to all my many questions, regular progress updates, and a detailed description of the work he completed (it was a lot, including replacement of all electrolytic capacitors, new ribbon cables, LED upgrade, and more)… the preamplifier looks great, sounds great, and seems to be functioning flawlessly. We are very happy with Bob’s work!
Lapsley H. 12/17/22: It’s back in the system and it sure looks good! … it certainly sounds better than I remember … and by a significant margin. And the stereo imaging is improved as well.
Marty G. 12/15/22: Thanks! I fired them up and … It was great. They’re powerful and glistening, scintillating, and minty fresh.
Geoffrey R. 12/13/22: The preamp looks and sounds wonderful!

Bob W. 8/15/22: I just wanted to give a thumbs up, to Bob, @ Bob the Tech Audio. https://bobthetechaudio.com/. My Mc500, has had a long term issue, with high operating temps. (Even @ Idle) Problem cured, and a comprehensive report given to me, regarding the investigation, and solution. … there aren’t many Techs out there, (particularly, Mcintosh Specialists) these days. Thanks, Bob!
John 8/14/22: YOU’RE THE BEST!!!
John N 7/19/22 (MC2105, C26): THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU – … Well, after some previous ‘service attempts’ what a true pleasure to power up the system & have it again play like “just out of the box”!! … PLEASE feel free to give my name … to anyone that needs to hear from your most satisfied client!! Again, THANK YOU.
John H 7/10/22 (MA230): Thanks for getting these units back in use! They will be appreciated for a very long time.
Craig B 7/2/22: If I hear anybody looking for Mc stuff, you’re the man!
George G 6/12/22 (C32): That is why I only want a guy like you to work on my stuff … you do it the right way … Many thanks on all the help you have been on this stuff.
Kiegan L 3/30/22: Just wanted to let you know that my MAC sounds absolutely fantastic, I cannot believe how low the noise floor is, and how little distortion I am getting, it sounds fresh out of the box. I am so grateful I was able to find your services, you are a true master at your craft. I will recommend absolutely be recommending you, and will be returning with more business in the future!
Dave P 3/29/22: Don’t mind my messy music room. Listening to a MOFI pressing of “Abbey Road”. The separation in this preamp is better than I have ever heard.

LH 2/4/22: I also now really enjoy, once again, those big blue beautiful meters. The amp sounds great too!
Ryan 12/6/21: I am more than satisfied with Bob’s work! This is the type of person who has amazing skills that is certainly becoming more and more rare. The total cost was very reasonable and probably spent more on the box and shipping than anything (except glass). I have since been listening to this work of art almost daily and appreciate it every time. If anyone needs even the smallest repair to large scale repairs, please consider using Bob the tech audio.
Keigan L 11/11/21: Thanks so much for getting this running!
Neil 10/24/21: I received my amp today and plugged it in and wonderful sound of Mcintosh came out after 4 months of going to different shop and nobody could fix it. Thank you again for bringing my music back! It cost me more to ship than you [to] repair my amp. Thanks again.
Hal 9/19/21: Hey all, so an update for you. I sent this off to Bob at Bob the Tech Audio and had him repair it. … Amp is back in my system and working great.

Ryan K 9/5/21: (re: MC7205) You are the man!
M 8/14/21: The way that you help others … speak of itself. You are the man.
RW 8/9/21: Yoooo!! I’m at my buddies house… picked up the amp today. Holy SHIT…. Kudos … great job, once again. … [money] well spent.

Harvey 6/3/21: The work looks excellent.
gigman 4/30/21: Bob the Tech Audio Rocks !!!! I got to talking with Bob the Tech Audio about my … C32 and was immediately impressed with his resume and experience working on older McIntosh components. Unlike many who claim they can work on these older components, I was convinced he would do it the right way. It would be impossible to say too many nice things about Bob. I sent the unit out to him … Bob soon saw the problems, there were many, … my confidence in Bob’s ability held true. I couldn’t be happier with the finished product as it sounds totally amazing now. I strongly urge anyone looking to having work done on vintage McIntosh components to strongly consider him.
Ryan 4/29/21: I cant tell you how much I appreciate your service. I especially appreciate you convincing me it was repairable. I’m a bit disappointed, to be honest, that the original Mac certified repair shop said it was dead without a full replacement board. … Thanks again Bob.
Shujaa 1/22/21: I have amp repaired by BOB THE TECH AUDIO (https://bobthetechaudio.com/). He did a great job, it works great. Fantastic sound. Bob was very help and I am very happy with his service.

David B. 9/4/20: Your tech’s repair was magnificent and my … music never — ever — sounded better. I’m running my original AR9s … with the MC2000 and they are ridiculously happy to have the Mac back. … Please pass along my deep appreciation to your tech for his savvy and skill. His writeup was terrific.
