My name is Petronel, and I admit it: I am a music and sound absolutist. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the seventies, considered by many the golden years for music and the music industry as a whole. Digital technology was not yet on our radar; everything was analogue: reel-to-reel tapes, vinyl records, compact cassettes, and FM broadcasting. Those years formed the foundation of my approach to music and sound.
My life became dedicated to mastering the principles of creating, recording, and reproducing music. It has been a journey driven by both passion and technical understanding, with a single goal: to bring the live performance experience into one’s private space. Achieving this requires more than expensive gear or flashy brands — it is about truly understanding how each component interacts and creating the perfect environment for sound to come to life. Correctly setting up a system is a skill that goes far beyond simply plugging in a cable. It is precision, care, and knowledge applied at every step.
Expertise in Restoration and Retrofitting
I offer unrivalled expertise in servicing, restoring, and retrofitting vintage analogue equipment of any brand or model, for both private individuals and professional users.
All work is completed using superior modern electronics, significantly extending the lifespan of the equipment while improving performance. This is far more than “fixing the apparent fault.” More often than not, the visible problem is only the tip of the iceberg. Left unresolved, even a single issue can lead to cascading failures over time. True restoration addresses the cause, not just the symptom.

PHILOSOPHY before EQUIPMENT
It is essential to have the right setup and the right equipment to do your music justice. This is not about the flashiest brands or the most expensive gear — it is about understanding how everything works together and creating the environment in which sound can truly come to life. Correct setup is a skill in itself, requiring attention, knowledge, and thought at every step.
For those who have struggled to find technical support backed by authentic skill and deep understanding, this is the place. You are in good company with someone who understands the nuance, the obsession, and why every detail matters.
