Why We Love Vintage Audio

Posted & filed under Vintage Audio.

Collecting vintage audio equipment can be pretty addictive. When you’re an audiophile, you’ll take any excuse you can get to go out and buy a new piece of equipment. Vinyl has been making a comeback for years now – there’s even an annual event called Record Store Day (April 19, 2014) that celebrates independently-owned record stores. Participating stores offer special discounts on vinyl and other music formats. And thanks to this surge in all things vintage audio, a service like vintage audio repair in New Jersey is even more necessary than ever.

So why are people so gung-ho about vintage audio equipment, leading to this need for vintage audio repair? Well, for one thing, vintage audio equipment has a clear and outstanding sound quality to it. People who truly appreciate this type of old-school equipment probably have a keen ear for music. Audiophiles believe vintage audio equipment is superior to what’s available nowadays, and they will search high and low for just the right equipment or parts. And when their precious apparatus breaks, vintage audio repair is all the more necessary!

Plus, people seem to have a soft spot for things that remind them of their childhood and teen years. CDs and even tapes are relatively “new” when compared to vinyl and 8-tracks. So when people want to take a trip down memory lane, they often think of putting a record on a turntable and dancing and singing along. And when that turntable breaks, they want vintage audio repair they can trust! After all, sometimes it’s hard to find just the right turntable, so folks don’t want to trust their vintage audio repair to just any old store.

And that’s where Mort’s TV & Video comes in. We are a trusted name in vintage audio repair around New Jersey and we can repair just about any piece of vintage audio equipment. So when you need our help, give us a call at 215-945-8381 or Contact Us.

Preparing a Thanksgiving Feast

After the Meal

After the meal is when it’s most important to have a working television set. There are plenty of football games to go around, as well as holiday programming.

TV Repair Brand Spotlight: Samsung

Posted & filed under TV Repair.

One of the most popular brands of televisions on the market today is Samsung. Here is a short list of some of the most common problems we here at Mort’s TV & Video encounter when repairing Samsung TVs:

  • Won’t turn on
    A Samsung TV should only click once when it is turned on, but sometimes it clicks more than once. It can take up to 10 minutes for the TV to turn on!
  • Difficulty finding the signal
    There can be a distinct lag time between changing channels and the on-screen image.
  • Turning off for no reason
    Because of a program glitch in the factory, these TVs are known for turning off for no apparent reason. Samsung has a Firmware update that will fix this problem, and we can help with that.
  • TV brightness
    The TV’s picture can look too bright or too faded. Sometimes this is a problem that cannot be fixed because of the LCD technology. But it’s worth getting one of our repairman to look into this issue, just in case it can be corrected.
