Giving old audio gear new life™

Vintage HiFi means different things to people. Anything from the late-50’s to early-90’s is vintage. No matter the decade, chances are there is a tube or solid state component that speaks to you on some level. The nostalgia of analog takes us back to simpler times. Analog can sound fantastic and with the sheer volume of music that is available — used and new — exploring music can become a fun and rewarding adventure. Music can take us on a journey, and vintage audio gear is how we travel along that journey. So it’s important to properly care for our gear and get good advice for keeping your vintage audio in good working order.

The “NUT” in our name, stands for New, Used and Trades … which is how we are able to give new and old audio lovers a personalized level of service.

Our Mission

Our mission is Giving Old Audio Gear New Life™ by offering services and products to help you realize your system’s full potential, elevate the look of your listening space and most importantly, enjoy your music!

Our services

Our personalized services focus on designing custom built AR XA turntables with Rega tonearms. The AR XA platform responds well to modern updates and will compete sonically with modern turntables that cost more.

We also offer repair and restoration for most turntables from well known brands like Pioneer to high performance turntables from less well know companies like Bergmann Audio. We work on other home audio equipment including speakers and electronics. As time allows, we custom design and build custom wood-based products that include audio racks, speaker stands, side panels, amplifier stands and record storage. We also do our best to provide resources to repair shops and other helpful resources, including audio advice for buying, selling and repairing.

We will accept trades on some items related to turntables. Contact us for details.
