Stereoadvisor — Local services in Riverbank

I have used the services of Louis, the Stereo Advisor on two different occasions now, and two of those times were when he was still located in Midtown Sacramento. Since beginning my journey of collecting vinyl audio gear back now ten years ago, I have bought and sold a number of components. My Optonica SA-5406 remains the flagship of my vintage receiver collection. I bought it from the original owner for $60 and it needed immediate attention. I had Louis go through the unit and address a punchlist of items including some calibration of the FM tuner set. He did an excellent job of bringing this unit up to specs and then some. He is highly experienced and charges accordingly.

A few years ago the receiver needed more attention. Also, I had decided to have Louis replace the incandescent radio dial lamps with LEDs. My wife and I took the drive to Modesto from Sacramento and back again to pick the unit up about a month later. Perfect work as expected. I very much respect Louis for his skill and professional integrity, and I highly recommend his services. Don't skimp or compromise on caring for your beloved audio gear. Take...

Louis repaired a vintage receiver that my Father left to me when he passed away. I have a lot of great memories of my teenage years that music played a big part. Christmas, New Years, birthdays....The receiver stopped working a short time after I set it up in 2008. I kept it, thinking I would get it repaired. 15+ years later, and a Google search brought me to Louis, THE STEREOADVISOR. The repaired receiver sounds better than I remembered, and is once again, a beautiful looking, and sounding member of my family. THANK YOU LOUIS!!!! Your Fantastic job will be loved and cherished for a long time. Take your vintage gear to Louis, at STEREOADVISOR.

Awesome job on the vintage Technics Direct Drive Turntable I brought in after the Sansui Receiver. It looks brand new! It sounds even better. Luis is a true artist in the repair of vintage gear!!!!! Many...

I called and asked if they could replace an RCA cable on my console for me. They refused. Said they have to do a full service or nothing at all. Sounds like a money grab to me but go off lol. I'm sure their full service is great if that's what you need but don't expect flexibility. Edit; yeah, I'm trouble shooting my equipment. I'm not a pro but I'm trying my best. The diagnostic is 80sum dollars out the gate, that's why I'm skeptical. Not because there is some conspiracy to make you liable...
