Fair and Square Audio Repair

Maybe you have some old stereo equipment that you would like to resurrect? Bring your old technology into Mort’s for an audio repair in Philadelphia. Perhaps it’s an old record player/turntable in need of a needle or a drive belt? We have some ideas to get that stuff working right and proper. The following is a list of the main component parts that assemble to form a stereo as well as the purposes they serve.

Record Player
A vintage audio boom has been underway for some time now—people who prefer turntables and vinyl. The thought process is that vinyl makes for the truest sound for music playback. Record players and records are as popular as ever they have been. Common problems due pop up with record players like timing (slow turn), no turn, off-pitch playback and needle skipping off of the record. Bring it into us, we will give it a look and get it up and running for you. 

Tuner
Some people keep it simple, standard radio being their preferred listening mode. If that is your thing, invest in a good tuner. Good ones are out there and available as used products. If cost is not an issue, ample fancy, high-end tuners are still being made today.

Amplifiers
A standard receiver tends to carry three or four different components. A tuner allows you to listen to your radio, tuning into different stations. A pre-amplifier moves the signal from other components, allowing you to choose from them, adjust the volume and will amplify sound from the unit. Your system also has a power amplifier, which accepts the signal from the pre-amplifier, making the signal that actually creates the functionality of the speakers.

Speakers
Speakers convert the electrical signal coming from the amplifier into acoustic energy. Use a variety of speakers when assembling your stereo system. It depends on the individual set of ears, as far as what is preferred—your preferred speaker is up to you and you alone. Perhaps you like bass and seek out a speaker oriented for such. Avoid high-end speakers because they are not designed for bass output.

These are just a few parts of a good stereo system. Depending on how much you want to spend, there are plenty of other components that can go into a good stereo system.

Caring for Your LCD Television

LCD TVs are excellent televisions with a clear screen, great sound and wonderful viewing experience. With some preventative measures on your part, you can enjoy your LCD TV for years to come and possibly avoid ever needing it repaired. Of course, if you find that your LCD TV does need help at some point, you can always bring it to us for television repair in Bucks County. In the meantime, here are a few tips to keep your LCD TV running and looking great.

• You should keep your home cool and dry in order to keep moisture and humidity from affecting your television. This also will help keep the visual display nice and crisp. If your house is particularly humid, you may consider having a dehumidifier installed.
• Keep you television in an area that is well ventilated and, if possible, has some type of air conditioning (either a window unit or central air). Keeping your house particularly warm can lead to needing television repair for your LCD TV.
• When you first purchase an LCD TV, read the owner’s manual to learn how to best care for and maintain your TV. The manual will provide tips on how to avoid television repair too.
• If you haven’t already, plug your LCD TV into a surge protector. This will protect your television from power surges during a lightning storm. Surge protectors also make it safer and more convenient to have multiple appliances plugged into the same outlet.
• One of the best ways to keep your TV safe is to properly mount it. This means you should purchase a sturdy entertainment center and affix the TV using mounting brackets. You can also mount the TV on the wall with brackets. The owner’s manual for your television should tell you what type of mounting brackets to purchase for your particular LCD TV.
• Keep your LCD TV clean. You can use compressed air to clean it. For dusting the screen, use a microfiber or cotton cloth. Do not use an abrasive cloth or cleaner on your TV since this can scratch the screen and damage it.
