I had an Infinity sub-woofer that suddenly stopped working. Opened it up and saw that the sound…read morecard inside was melted and burned to a crisp. I was pretty sure I would have to buy a new one, but just wanted to see if I could repair it for less. Innovative Media Systems replaced the components for a decent price and got the speaker working again. However, after I got it home there were still problems with the speaker. It would occassionaly overheat and shutoff. At first, I was upset that I had paid to fix this speaker and was wishing I had just bought a new one. But, to their credit they repaired it again for free. The speaker has been working like new for over three months now.

Filling a serious gap in the Columbus market, Sound and vision provides a good selection of high…read morefidelity equipment for any consumer from the beginner audiophile to the seasoned golden ear. I have enjoyed each visit to the shop. In a market where exploring audio is near impossible, their hours and availability are much appreciated. I drop by the shop every so often to see what's new and to listen to the flagship products. I have not experienced the design aspect of the business and do not have much interest in home automation, but they have great options. I am an audio guy, and really appreciate the variety. I would live to see some of their products showcased a little better. But I'm not certain they could do that with the space they have. I do not make purchases often, so when I cone in, it is refreshing that I am not treated as a spectator. But I am given excellent care. And allowed to listen. It will certainly translate to purchases when the opportunity arises. If you're looking to upgrade or get started on a hifi check out sound and vision!

We were thrilled with the results. Scott knows these vintage receivers inside and out. I was so happy with the results I made other trips back to Stereo Lab to have my 2325 and 2235B receivers for the same Gold Plate service. He brought them back sounding and looking like they came right out of the box. Highly recommended! John Malaga

I am impressed that the folks that work here seem to have quite a good handle on the live local music scene, which is a nice distinction and helps him to really stand out. In addition to a great selection of vinyl, they also have some useful supplies available for dedicated record collectors. sometimes record stores can be "dusty" this one is well lit superbly organized, and a joy to visit. I've never been in this store that it hasn't been enjoying heavy foot traffic from other audio fans. This of course is a positive sign that the inventory here is worth coming in and having a look.

Once upon a Time, School Kids Records, and the accompanying Used Kids Records were two stores that…read morefound their homes on High St just across from the Ohio State University campus. in those days, you would trample down a narrow set of outdoor concrete steps to enter a wonderworld of vinyl LPs. These days it's a street level entrance, but the absolutely amazing vinyl selection is still very much present in this new record shop located on Summit Street north of campus. most people would be hard pressed not to find several selections that they really like in this large shop. Truly incredible variety. As with most shops like this in the Columbus area, there are some vinyl record collector supplies available for purchase. True collectors and audio files will find this feature very useful. Friendly and talkative staff at the front desk, who are happy to answer thoughtful questions. They are knowledgeable so if you have something on your mind, hit them up if they can help you, I'm feeling pretty confident that they'll do their best. Parking can be a bit of a chore as there are a number of other retail shops in this immediate area, it is also a residential area, and a highly trafficked street. With a little patience, you'll be able to find something relatively nearby. Be sure and check the signs to make sure that you're parking in an area that is permissible.

Whenever I'm in Columbus, Ohio, Used Kids is one of my necessary destinations. I remember going…read morethere once back in the '90s with a much cooler friend, in what I believe was an older location, and being in awe of his ability to dig through crates and come up with incredible records by bands that I had barely heard of. Now I'm a bit further along in my appreciation of punk, hardcore, metal, and more, and remember him every time I come and wander through the LPs, 7"s and 45s, tapes, and more that fill its long shelves and multiple rooms. If you're not a punk and hardcore fan, don't worry. Used Kids has a bit of everything, and holds it all in an environment that's well lit, clearly marked, affordably/reasonably priced, and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable folks who won't make you feel like an idiot if your awareness of niche jazz or Eastern European post-punk bands doesn't equal their own. New music and old, used records and still-sealed wonders - it's all here, and giving yourself a copy of hours to wander is well worth your time. See you soon, Used Kids. You know I'll be back.
