our passion
Rock’n’Roll is also about keeping the spirit alive and that is what we do, when we restore, repair and design audio equipment together with our electronic Mastermind Sven Stalbovs. Sven learned to work on tube electronics in the 1960s, when he was an apprentice at Streasser Elektroakustik in Stuttgart. Later he studied electronic engineering and computer science. He became an employee at HP electronics, where he worked until his retirement in 2008. It’s been almost 8 years, that we have Sven on board of our corporation and there’s still a lot we can learn while working on projects together.
