Throughout my career, I\u2019ve designed cutting-edge electronic products for a wide range of industries. With nearly 40 years of experience, I\u2019ve witnessed remarkable technological progress in the field of electronics\u2014advancements that I now routinely incorporate into my designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing, however, has remained constant: my fascination with vintage audio recording technology. In my spare time, I enjoy restoring classic audio equipment, with a particular focus on reel-to-reel tape recorders and cassette decks. Over the years, I\u2019ve brought many of these machines back to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t limit myself to tape equipment, though \u2014 amplifiers (both solid-state and vacuum tube), receivers, tuners, equalizers, record players, and CD players all find their way onto my workbench. If it was built to play or record music, I can repair it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have deep respect for the engineers of past generations\u2014their designs are often nothing short of brilliant. It\u2019s a privilege to preserve their craftsmanship and ensure this remarkable equipment continue to be enjoyed for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any Hi-Fi gear in need of repair, please <a href=\"mailto: audio@mpfisher.com?subject=Contact from the website\">contact me<\/a> \u2014 I\u2019d be happy to help.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Science can amuse and fascinate us all, but it is engineering that changes the world&#8221; Isaac Asimov In the above picture I&#8217;m behind Lars Urlih&#8217;s 2008 Tama Starclassic drum set.
