    Default Rythmik Sub Repair - So Cal

    One of my 2 Rythmik F12s has developed a faint buzzing noise, even when not receiving a signal.
    I reached out to Rythmik and Brian sent me a .pdf guide detailing how to repair it via capacitor swap out.
    While I know someone on the forum did this (or similar) repair last fall, I don't trust myself with a soldering iron.
    Wondering if anyone knows of a reliable audio repair shop in Southern California.
    More than willing to travel to get the work done, I'm just struggling to find a shop that does this sort of work. Most seem focused on laptop, iPad and phone repairs.
    TIA for any suggestions.

    I think I would just pull the amps and ship them to Rythmik.

    I agree with diesel79.
    Or maybe check with Dave & Dina, they may be able to solder in the new capacitor if you bring them the amp?

    * Anthem AVM90, Rogue ST100, VTV Pascal 7 ch
    * Sierra Towers/Horizon (all ELX RAAL), S2EXv2 surrounds, HTM200SEx4 heights, Rythmik E15HPx2

    Well, not sure I’d ask either of them for that work, but maybe they’d know “a guy” somewhere in the area.
    Been meaning to stop in to listen to Sierra 2 LX for my 2 channel room, so maybe I’ll ask then.
    Good news from the IRS moves a new set of speakers to the top of my wish list.

    Holy Moly, that's generous of you! Getting ready for some travel, but will contact you when we get home.
    I'm back to spending time with my two channel setup, but don't want to move my Sierra 2s out of HT use, as we've upgraded our TV as well.
    So I'll want to do some listening while there as well. Am intrigued by the LXs, as my listening position is about 6-7 feet from the speakers, and I want to be punched in the chest at 85 - 90 Db. Everything I read says that's what I could expect from them.

    Sounds good, just give us a call at the office to schedule a day and time. We will need at least 1 week advance notice.
