We offer an extensive range of services at eXemplar audio based on over 30 years of experience working with tube audio equipment. The same eclectic design approach and technologies utilized in our products are employed in the services we offer.
Modifications
We offer
modification services to upgrade and enhance virtually any tube audio equipment.
Most tube equipment currently in use has fairly good basic components for the
magnetics. This provides a foundation that can be built upon to create truly
superior gear.
Our design
approach to modifications employs the same technology as provided in our
products. Advanced current regulation and shunt regulation are incorporated
throughout our modifications wherever appropriate and beneficial. This
technology combined with simple well designed signal paths and quality
components can transform your equipment to the highest level of performance
possible resulting in a musical presentation beyond what was previously
possible.
We will work
with you to understand your system and your listening preferences in developing
modifications to your equipment.
