About Us

J-Corder is the brainchild of Jeff Jacobs. Jeff, the "J" in J-Corder, has an unmatched talent for bringing things back to life along with a robust passion for good music.

With decades of experience in audio sales and service, Jeff understands the requirements of a discerning audiophile. He was an authorized dealer and service technician for Technics, Sony, Pioneer, Marantz, Bang and Olufsen and many other major manufacturers from the 1970s, 80s and 90s.

Jeff's love of restoration began with vintage automobiles when he founded a renowned restoration business in the 90s. He specialized in 1958 Pontiac Bonnevilles, dismantlement them down to the bare metal frame and a pile of parts before reassembling into a stunning work of art. He often brought his award winning cars back to a condition that was considered by many to be better than new. 

After retiring from the car business, Jeff decided to blend his talents and give his special level of attention to vintage high-end audio. The Technics reel to reels Jeff loves so much are ruggedly built, which makes them the perfect a choice for restoration. The sound provided by an analog tape machine made by Jeff is so rich and smooth, you won't want to stop listening. 

J-Corder's improvements are more than just beautiful cosmetics. We make internal modifications to improve both the record and the playback mechanisms, electronics and circuitry. The end result, we offer a superior tape deck that out performs the specifications of the original Technics. Each unit is bench tested for quality control and they come with a 12 month warranty for defects.

J-Corder tape decks are assembled by hand and customizable to your exact wishes. Using materials such as carbon fiber, automotive quality paint, specialty woods, gems and precious metals allows us to provide a custom deck that perfectly fits your hi-fi system design, sound and sensibility requirements.
