I sent my Sony SCD-1 to Doug Jesse earlier this year thinking he was still an installation contractor for Reference Audio Mods West ( California ) he installed all of the parts I sent him except one, I sent him some expensive Audio Consulting silver wire and he did not use it and instead installed what appears to be wiring used for jewelry repair.
I had him replace my Audiocom Super Clock Three and matching power supply with the newer Ultra Clock and he ignored my request for my old parts back. He is very selective as to what e-mails he will answer and this should have raised some red flags at the beginning but I somewhat foolishly proceeded with the deal.
I would imagine that a lot of unsuspecting customers have got screwed by this guy and do not even realize it.
Kyle Takenaga of Reference Audio Mods has graciously agreed to attempt to make things right in light of Doug's criminal behavior.
Kyle seems to be an honest individual who has a lot of indepth knowledge of high end audio.
I also have had some work done in years past by Richard Kern and I feel that he too is an honest and knowledgeable mod tech and I would not hesitate to trust him, although there may be some bad apples out there, many mod specialists seem to be honest people.
