I can't really afford a great stereo anymore. I remembered how much I loved my ADS system I had years ago. I've been slowly recollecting some in real nice condition but the preamp and amp I bought were defective and I had to return them for a refund. Which the seller did give me. I know there are cheap stereos out there but none with the look and feel of quality engineering and class that the Atelier components had. I wish Braun Electronic Gmbh would bring the series back out again. I couldn't afford it new right now, but I would consider some of it later on. |
I don't know who's repairing them however I have a pile of a/d/s/ Atelier pieces I have collected all in fully functional condition. Way too much to list. I have had all the higher-end a/d/s/ speakers and still have: L9e L710 L910 w/ads stands L980 w/ads stands L1290II L1590II I sold my 1530's a while ago. I'm still kickin' myself for that. Best, Paul :-) |
From personal experience and that of other audiophile friends, I can strongly recommend Ken Bernacky at Stereo Surgeons in Hartford, CT. Address: 1195 Main Street East Hartford, CT 06108-2245 860-528-8837 Website: www.stereosurgeons.com Ken has repaired two tuners for me (a Magnum Dynalab FT-11 and a Sansui TU-9900), along with a Nakamichi receiver. He has always done superb work at a fair price; you can find out more about him and several other repair recommendations by looking at the Tuner Information Center at www.fmtunerinfo.com under "Repairs." I have no relationship with him except as a happily satisfied customer. I like ADS equipment a lot, and still enjoy a pair of 710s from my first system in college some time ago--they're playing in the kitchen now. Yours, T. J. |
You might give Richard So in Phoenix a call and see if he can help, or knows anyone who can. He does all their speaker repair and has numerous parts. His contact is [email protected], 480-452-9736. |
