Mastersound Reference 845 Amp Back Home Again!

Hi all! Well, I wanted everyone to know that the Mastersound has been home for a week now and I'm blown away! John S. aka deafbykhorns who not only repaired the Mastersound but also did a couple of minor mods, returned the Mastersound to me sounding better now than it did 21 years ago when I bought it new. Both frequency extremes are now extended with sparkling, crystal-clear treble and bass that's taut & deeper. While that SET midrange glory and soundstage width, height, and depth are as they've always been!

John who's very good at downplaying just how talented he is at what he does has given me back an amplifier that now at age 67 I expect will be with me until I die. Until I found John I expected I would have to sell the Mastersound for parts, but now I have an amplifier I just can't part with. I do have some good news to end this post with, John told me in a couple of years he's going to retire, and when he does he wants to build and repair amps as a "business". All I can say is there's going to be a lot of very lucky people in the Duval County area of Florida when that day arrives. Finally I want to thank everyone who encouraged me to hold on and keep looking for someone to repair the Mastersound and I want to thank John S. again for doing so...
