How To Book

1. Check our booking status table for availability of suitable booking types
2. If bookings are available, request one using the enquiry form at the bottom of this page
3. If we’re fully booked or closed, check again later, guided by the dates suggested

Demand for bookings exceeds capacity, and it’s not viable to maintain a waitlist, so the booking status table is the best way for us to manage potential bookings. Get in touch if you have questions.

Advice & Guidance

Good advice is like gold, improving knowledge, hi-fi systems and sound. It’s also really tough to find. Most advice is ill-informed opinion, often self-serving or even harmful. Liquid Audio has proudly assisted the hi-fi community for over a decade with science-and-experience-informed factual information, expertise and knowledge from a professional offering a rarely accessible specialist perspective. Hallelujah!

Uncompromised by advertisers, commissions, or the need to sell products, and building on a half-million+word library of 650 articles, reviews, FAQs and videos, consultations help customers improve their systems and avoid rabbit holes. You speak with the specialist, hi-fi nerd and former science teacher entrusted with this, this, this and this.

[Mike is] one of the most helpful guys I have ever spoken to about hi-fi.

Hello Mike, very nice website and PROFESSIONAL work you perform on this audio vintage gear. Read your Sansui AU-20000 repair page and loved how great your work ethics are. What I like also is that you repair/revise all stuff, not just high-end. I felt very positive to react on your good work.

I’d love to help everyone, but we prioritise customers engaging our services. We do not offer unpaid consultations, valuations or technical assistance. We do not sell kits, parts, supply service data, or intellectual property.
