Brother has a McIntosh C28 Preamp that probably needs to be re-capped. L&R channel do not increase in volume evenly. Any good recommendations in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area that I can pass on to him.

But Mike, do you know what a transistor IS? I didn't know you worked on solid state????

I had the C28. Honestly, I felt it was perhaps McIntosh's better (best to me) sounding preamps. And I had a number of them.

I didn't hear back, so I figured you were upset with me about something. I just don't want to see my brother take the unit to some hack.

While it is opened up, are there any known components that all though still functional should be replaced with a newer higher grade replacements, to include phono stage. Had a '70's AGI 511 that I replaced the vintage op amps in, recapped it, and hardwired the board to the RCA's, and it took it to a whole new level for minor dollars.
