Inattentiveness and shoddy customer service. Not what one looks for in a HiFi audio dealer where…read morecustomers' audiophile systems often easily run from mid-five digits and into six-digit values. Unfortunately, over the course of one month of back-and-forth questions and answers to and from the owners and/or representatives of Vinyl Sound, this is most definitely a one-star review. Highly surprising from a hi-fi/audiophile retailer, as I've only had one other negative experience in my entire life from a different retailer. My requests were seemingly simple: 1) bearing oil for my Transrotor ZET 3.1 turntable; 2) replacement belts for the turntable, and; 3) a request regarding the possibility of making a cover for my turntable. Over a 29-day period, here is the breakdown, in number of days, of their response times to my various e-mail requests: 1, 5, 8, 0, 0, and finally, after waiting 14 days for a reply, I sent a final e-mail requesting an update but have yet to receive an answer. It's now 22 days without a reply at the time of this review. There are many other dealers to choose from. Select another that's not Vinyl Sound and likely be much more satisfied.

Excellent, prompt, and attentive service, fantastic overall experience…read more I had an excellent experience with B&F. Their movers (the owner and his son) arrived on time and came fully prepared with furniture pads and the necessary tools to transport all my furniture (even being prepared and easily able to transport an oversized couch down over an exterior balcony when it would not fit through the stairs)! They were courteous and clearly experienced and took time to ensure none of my belongings were damaged during the move and that they were securely packed in their truck for transport. For some of my items that needed to be placed into storage, they helped me organize everything "Tetris" style to the point where I was able to use a smaller storage unit than originally expected. The savings from using a smaller unit alone will likely pay for the entire cost of using movers over the next few months! All in all, I was extremely impressed with my experience with B&F and look forward to using them for my next move (whenever that may be).

I had been looking for months to find a pump organ in Buffalo and when I did needed someone to pick it up and take it to my apartment in North Park. Illos took all my info by phone (type and size of instrument, stairs, entrances, etc.) and then gave me a quote that was a hundred bucks cheaper than anyone else I spoke with. Come moving day, they were at the pickup location right at the beginning of the scheduled window, had it loaded up before I even realized they were there, glued some damage that they hadn't caused in order to stabilize a part, and then met me back at my apartment. There, they assessed the three possible ways in, got the organ up a half flight of stairs without having to take the railing off, loaded her onto a dolly, and had her where I wanted within minutes. I am so glad that I paid pros instead of trying to move a heavy, fragile, 140-year-old musical instrument myself. Booking, communication, and service were all excellent. And I got this.
