New Kenwood head unit install looks great!
Patrick C.

Working with Absolute Audio was a great experience. I took my 2008 Mercedes into the shop and asked for a quote to have an Airplay compatible head unit and a rear back up camera installed. Stan was very friendly and worked with me to crunch all the numbers and explain to me any pain points that came with the install. He was knowledgeable and patient when answering my questions. After receiving the quote, he had to order a few parts and the dash kit to make it all work. We scheduled an afternoon to drop off the car and he called me by lunch time the following day, letting me know my car was ready. When we picked it up, they took their time walking us through how everything worked and answered any questions we had. The prices were very fair and the work was exceptional! I'd definitely recommend this shop to anyone who needs car audio or security work done. Thanks again!

Drove all the way down from York, PA based on a recommendation for a remote start install. Did not disappoint. Highly recommend!

Update 7-17-2023. I've been a happy customer of Just Audio for many years now. My experience with…read moreJust Audio has involved both the sales and service aspects of the business. In sales I've brought a Reel to Reel Deck, a Stereo Receiver and my latest items a pair of rare Pioneer HPM-100 Lucite Speakers and a clear turntable. I have the following items in for service. A Pioneer SX-1060 and a Hitachi SR-2004, 200 WPC monster receiver. I want them repaired yesterday. Luckily the technicians at Just Audio won't return them to me until every single issue is worked out and tested. Recently I've sent in for service the following: 4 Pioneer CTW 710R Cassette Tape Decks, 2 Pioneer SX-950 receivers on consignment. 1 Pioneer SX-1050, 1 Pioneer SX-1980, 1 Pioneer SX1250, 1 Pioneer SX1280 and 1 Marantz 2330B. Replacing main filter caps in the Marantz 2330B is tricky but Just Audio made it seem like child's play. I share all this so you know when I tell you Just Audio does a great job bringing vintage audio back to life I speak from years of experience. Understand that Just Audio gives it to you straight. All vintage gear was not created equal. Some vintage gear is not repairable and Just Audio tells you this upfront wherever possible. Restoring vintage audio is not an exact science. Thankfully Just Audio's technicians have experience enough to know what things fail most often in most major vintage audio brands. Repairing vintage gear can be expensive because technicians who know how to repair things are aging out of the business. Just Audio provides the best and most reasonable vintage repair experiences on the east coast. As for sales I can't even begin to tell you how awesome Just Audio's selection of new and vintage items are. The Just Audio sales floor is full of vintage and modern receivers, amplifier \ tuner separates, speakers, switches, Cartridges for turn tables, new or vintage turntables and such much more. They have posh listening rooms crammed with speakers. Finally the staff is wonderful. They have a sense of humor at Just Audio so come prepared to spend an enjoyable time. Buying new or vintage audio is a serious hobby but Just Audio reminds us to inject a bit of fun in every aspect of the experience. Yes I am a loyal fan of Just Audio but only because I know the quality of the sales, service and the people who make the Just Audio magic happen. I've spent about $20,000 at Just Audio over the years and it been worth every penny!

What a "NIGHTMARE" ...! I sent two VINTAGE receivers for…read moreREFURBISHING. One was Marantz 2600, and second was Marantz 2500. ("Just Audio" from Middle River, Maryland 21220. I live in Los Angeles) I sent both units to "Just Audio" via UPS. No problem. Many months later, "Just Audio" the owner, John Panzer, said he completed the Refurbished of the Marantz 2600 and it was sent UPS. All of a sudden, I get email from UPS saying the package was delayed and Damaged while in transit. UPS notified the "shipper of record" (Just Audio- John Panzer) ... the responsibility is the shipper of record....! I contacted UPS but was told by UPS wouldn't discuss it to me because I'm NOT the "shipper of record" ONLY "Just Audio" was authorized to discuss the shipment. Not me....!!! A few days later, the package arrived. The box was indeed damaged. I called "Just Audio" and was instructed to "just plug it in, let's see how it works". The Volume Switch was "SHORTING OUT" intermittently. And, so was the "FILTER 9KHz" was shorting as well. I was instructed by "Just Audio" to try "DeoxIT" (Name Brand-Improves Connection) So, I tried. I was instructed by "Just Audio" Give it a few days. Two days later, I was using the radio and all of a sudden I hear this LOUD POP.... Sounds like a gunshot. It happens again. LOUD. All a sudden I hear the FAN LOUD. So I turned off the power and disconnected the cables. I contacted John Panzer. He was UNWILLING to help at all. He was unwilling to send the Marantz 2600 to fix it. I was stuck. I paid $1833.35 for the repair but, John Panzer would not help at all. ZERO INTEGRITY.....!!! RIP OFF...!! So I found a local repair shop and found that "Just Audio" used the WRONG components causing more damage. I got pictures to prove it. Now, it's fixed. BEWARE of John Panzer. He changed the business name to: "AUDIO REPAIR NETWORK "

So, in regard to my previous review, I figured I'd share the owner's response to both me and my…read morepartner. To me, this response avoids taking responsibility or showing much professionalism. It also includes claims that simply aren't true--at no point did we tell anyone to go to our uncle's shop or say he'd do a better job. That never happened. We 100% do NOT have an uncle or bloodline family that has a shop. Weird how he chose to go with that fabricated claim. The guy was Carly's coworkers brother.. I did get a laugh out of the part where he says he's reporting my reviews. Personally, I'd rather they stay up. Let people read both sides and decide for themselves what happened. If you're confident in your version of events, there shouldn't be any issue with people seeing both perspectives. Below is the series of events paraphrase.. My girlfriend and I were in the store while another couple was discussing selling a large reggae record collection. The owner was already talking about other stores and possible buyers for a collection of that size. Since the conversation was already centered around outside options, my girlfriend casually mentioned another local shop that might also be interested. The response was immediate and hostile. Instead of simply saying he preferred competitors not be mentioned in his store, he repeatedly raised his voice, saying it was "unethical" and asking, "How dare you come into my store and try to steal people?" His voice got louder each time. The interaction became so uncomfortable that another customer followed us outside afterward to make sure we were okay. Even the couple involved commented on how strange and over-the-top the reaction was. What makes this especially confusing is that the conversation was already about alternative stores and potential buyers. We're customers, not business owners. Most people wouldn't expect that mentioning another local shop in that context would lead to being publicly yelled at. Needless to say, I won't be returning, and I can't recommend a business that treats customers this way. If you take this review with a grain of salt, that's completely fair--but understand that, in our experience, simply mentioning another local business during a conversation that was already about other shops was enough to earn a public scolding. The photo below includes the owner's response. It conveniently leaves out the fact that we had already been talking with the couple and that multiple outside options had already been discussed before Carly made her suggestion. He's entitled to his version of events, but it doesn't reflect what happened that day. Regardless of the disagreement, I don't believe it's appropriate for a business owner to speak to customers--especially by repeatedly yelling at a young woman--in the way he did.
