Can I pick your brains for advice?

I’m always happy to assist advice-seekers and we have a service specifically for this purpose.

Keep in mind, of course, that a fair bit of free exchange happens when customers deliver and collect equipment. I’ve donated countless hours to my customers on that basis. However, when someone wants specific advice on system building or equipment choices, as happens many times a week, this is quite different.

Each discussion requires time to engage, discuss and respond to questions, analyse equipment, research and calculate technical answers, and provide robust, tailored guidance and solutions. This is work delivered by a specialist who needs to account for their time. Due to the time and expertise we must invest to properly address them, we do not offer free advisory consultations or equipment valuations.

Instead, we offer advice and guidance via our advisory service consultations. Consultations allow me to engage with enquirers on a range of hi-fi-related topics, whilst fairly accounting for my time as all specialists must do. To get started, just select a consultation size that best suits your enquiry and complete the enquiry form on the contact page.
