Just as much as necessary to carefully complete the work you’ve asked us to do, and no more.
Liquid Audio specialises in preserving and rejuvenating classic hi-fi stereo equipment and always delivers exceptional service, results and value.
Our reputation for excellence, the result of hard work, original thinking and respected by customers and visitors worldwide, explains our typically full booking schedule. I’m thrilled to assist customers from around Australia and beyond, and honoured that the hi-fi community trusts Liquid Audio!
Pricing
Sensible pricing and a professional approach mean we cater for a wide range of customers and equipment.
Job Type | Rate |
Small jobs up to 30 minutes | $95 |
Standard assessment/service/repair/overhaul | $150/hr |
Consults | $150/hr |
Half-day blocks | $600 |
Service and repair work falling within our standard 3-hour window (4 hours for complex pieces) generally proceeds automatically, minimising interruptions and streamlining completion.
Estimates are available once we’ve diagnosed faults and/or assessed the scope of work. More in this FAQ.
Budgetary limits may be set by customers and half-day blocks stacked for complex jobs requiring deeper investigation/remediation.
Check out these additional considerations for country, interstate and overseas customers.
Note that all work is billable, regardless of type or outcome.
Quality
Businesses delivering real expertise and championing professionalism and quality over making a quick buck are rare these days. Those looking for a ‘cut-price, cut-corners’ approach won’t find it here, though such businesses exist, delivering poor workmanship, ‘Swell-Long’ capacitors (seriously), devalued or destroyed equipment and even court cases. It’s all out there. Reviews, responses, business name changes and court records tell the story. Buyer beware.
Mike … you, of course, are a gem. We are so lucky to have someone as passionate, intelligent, ethical and hardworking in little ol’ Perth.
