I can't wait to hear either. I know Bob must be a busy gent, but he hasn't returned my e-mail so far. I look forward to reading about your experiences Mrjstark.

Cheers,

Did You????
How is he (Bob) making out......I am sure that he is busy.
One of the reasones I do not call him with "S" questions.
What do You think of Bob ???
I think that he is one of those guys that lives and breaths audio......
Anyway, I can not wait to hear what have been done

Bob Backert is a true treasure.

Mrjstark, I think I saw your amps there on Sunday when I dropped some gear off. Bob was excited about them.
Another vote of confidence for Ben Jacoby at HEAR. A great technician and person.
Hey, John
I have heard a great deal about Bob
but I personally don't know his work.
Presently, he is working on my amps so I
should have more to say about his mods later (1or2 weeks).
If he is as good as I think he is, I will try to talk to Bob about my new phono-stage (Consonance Reference 40 -- MM, MC, tube ractif. EZ80 and 2, 12AX7 & Amorphous MC step-up transformer) and what can possibly bring the best out of it. I know there is a room for improvement ( I have seen the guts).
Thanks for the link Mrjstark. Bob is practically right in my backyard. I'll have to check him out.

Cheers,
John
thanks guys..
i did meet him today and what a wonderful person..loves what he is doing and I feel confident and at peace that my vintage tube will get some special tender care...
I will also chime in on Bob Backert - he is a phenominal technician with tube gear and one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. I wish that there were a lot more people in this industry that were as pleasurable to work with

I spoke to another audiophile about Bob's work and he swears that his mono-blocks (Jolida) were given another life. What was originally supposed to be a repair job turn to a mod that made this gentleman think about other components in his system getting the same treatment.

I am personally waiting for my mono-blocks (Consonance Cyber 800, EL 34 based, 78wpc) to come back from Bob's lab in a week or two.

Bob is a genius with any kind of amplification like preamp, amp (tube & SS), phonostage.
