 | Dr. Hi Fi was established in 1976, by the
proprietor: Mr. Robin Gandevia. Our first shop was located in Perouse Rd. Randwick, at
"The Spot" shopping centre in Sydney.
|
| In 1978 Dr. Hi Fi moved to Paddington,
where we remained until early 1990. During these eleven years our reputation for
unsurpassed quality in hi fi equipment repairs and service was firmly established. We also
sold new equipment but specialised in the sale of high quality second hand items,
representing excellent value and reliability. These items were "hand" selected,
based on our vast experience in hi fi service.
|
"Friends and Staff at
Paddington"
| In October 1991, Dr. Hi Fi moved to
Waverley. We greatly enjoyed our Waverley location at Charing Cross, where
we stayed for 14 years.

"Waverley days"
|
In 2004,
Peter Loreggia (who had been with Dr Hi Fi for some 18 years) sadly left for
a change in career. With ever increasing overheads, limitless legal
liabilities and obstacles in employing people, Dr Hi Fi decided that after
more than 25 years, it would no longer maintain an actual shop front. |
|
As the owner
and founder of Dr Hi Fi, Robin Gandevia continues to service high quality
domestic hi fi equipment from his new "surgery" at his home in
north Randwick. In addition, Robin also devotes much time working with large
scale professional audio equipment. The arrangement works well with a very
personal service – clients make an appointment, parking is easy and they
get to see the actual area where the work is done.
|
| Servicing electronics for nearly 25
years, Robin Gandevia initially repaired televisions and hi fi equipment. His love of
music steered him to confine, and specialise, his talents to that of high fidelity sound
reproduction.
|
| Robin Gandevia is a member of The
Electronic and Technicians Institute of Australia (MTETIA). In 1986 he gave the address to
the Institute's National Convention on the servicing of hi fi equipment, and has also
given lectures on related subjects to the NSW division. He is also a member of The
Institute of Sound and Communication Engineers (MInstSCE Eng.), based in England with
representatives throughout the world. Dr. Hi Fi Pty Ltd is also a member of The Electronic
Services Association (TESA) in Australia.
|
"Robin At Work"
| Extending beyond Australia, the
reputation of Dr. Hi Fi is based not only on quality of workmanship, but on efficiency and
professionalism. Dr. Hi Fi acts as consultants in audio engineering to the industry.
|
| Dr. Hi Fi's popularity is not through
being the cheapest, but by being the most thorough and knowledgeable.
