    My center channel fixed - The image shows a close-up of a speaker system with two large circular drivers and a smaller central driver, all mounted on a dark wooden panel. The drivers are metallic with visible screws securing them in place, and the panel has a textured wood grain finish. The setup appears to be part of an audio equipment or home theater system.

    Such a great experience. Came here after trying out another guy in another city that had no idea what he was talking about. I just felt like I was being lied to the whole time. These guys are on top of their game. They know what is up. Didn't try to hard sell me on anything. I felt like I had the best value for my money and they have an amazing store if you are into high-end home audio. I wish I could afford everything in here...you can spend a lot of money really quick here, so bring your checkbook. Everybody here is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly and doesn't try to BS their way out of anything. Will definitely come again after winning the lottery..

    Great selection of vinyl records - The image displays a black vinyl record with a label in the center, placed in front of a large album cover of The Beatles' Abbey Road. The album cover depicts the band members walking across a zebra crossing on a tree-lined street. The record and album cover are positioned together, creating a visual connection between the physical vinyl and the iconic album art.

    I stopped by this company regarding services for installation of flat panel in my office. Unfortunately, they don't install TVs. They specialize in custom two channel audio. Even though they don't do this, they still recommended me to a great company in Monrovia that absolutely took care of the install 100%. Even though I didn't use any services from them, I did buy an album. They have a great selection of music as well. Thanks again for helping me out Rebecca.

    Came in to get my record player fixed. They were amazing . They helped me order the parts and when I brought the parts in they showed me how to install them 100 % recommend this store

    A wooden cabinet with two open doors reveals an audio amplifier inside, placed in a room with large windows that overlook a backyard with outdoor furniture and greenery. The cabinet is made of natural wood with visible grain patterns, and the interior contains a shelf and space for additional equipment. The room has a tiled floor and shelves with books and photographs on the right side.

    The staff is very knowledgable and they pay attention making recommendations for audio gear that fits your needs and budget. I've purchased turntables and receivers for custom cabinets that I build and could not be happier.

    Keith Monks Prodigy Precision Record Cleaner - A turntable with a clear dust cover is positioned on a wooden surface, accompanied by a wooden box and framed artwork on the wall behind. The background includes various decorative items, such as framed pictures, sculptures, and small figurines, creating a curated display related to audio equipment and personal decor.

    I had heard about Audio Element through a good friend. So I went over there wanting to buy my dream stereo. And I was not disappointed. Ian was incredibly helpful throughout the entire experience. I was there for several hours listening to their different recommendations of stereo units and turn tables. They let me select vinyls to play. Some Coltrane and then Bill Evans onto Queen and Cat Stevens. The time in their was like a crash course in music stereo knowledge. We talked about sound and how important a good needle was in getting the ultimate listening experience. I love vinyl. It is something I grew up with in the 60's and 70's especially. The system I ended up purchasing was the Rega Planar 6 turn table and the Wharfedale speakers. I am so happy with my Purchase and highly recommend Audio Element for an exquisite music experience and stellar service. And they sampled the Keith Monks Prodigy stereo record cleaner for me. This additional purchase has made so much difference in my album collection! It really does clean your albums both new and existing. Highly recommend this as well!!

    CAAAAN YOOOOU DIIIIIIG IT? Poo-Bah can!…read more Poo-Bah Record Shop is a time machine disguised as a music store, and let me tell you--it's the place for anyone who appreciates good tunes and even better customer service. My recent visit felt like stepping into a live Spotify mixtape, and here's why. I went in on a mission: find some records as a Christmas gift for a high schooler who's super smart, learning to play piano by ear, and whose taste in music is a mystery to me. No pressure, right? I grabbed a couple of records with piano-heavy tracks and headed home. But something told me, "Maybe give these a spin before handing them off." Glad I did--one of the albums had lyrics I wasn't exactly keen on giving to a kid. Determined to support a small business (because, let's face it, every dollar counts more there), I went back to see about an exchange. Walking in, I braced myself for an awkward return situation. I explained my dilemma at the counter, saying I didn't want a refund but was open to suggestions. And that's when the magic happened. The guy at the register immediately hopped off and started digging through records to find something more suitable. Then, the owner joined in--tag-teaming the search like Billy Taylor and Quincy Jones putting together a jazz masterpiece. They didn't just recommend records; they curated options with the care of someone arranging the perfect piano solo. At one point, I half-expected Ray Charles to pop out from behind the counter, saying, "Now this is how you dig Baby!" They found me some Count Basie to keep things swinging, threw in some Modern Jazz Quartet for that cool, intellectual vibe, and made me rethink my entire approach to gift-giving. I walked out with four records instead of two, grinning like a kid at their first jam session. These folks didn't just help me solve a gifting problem; they brought me back to a time when crate-digging was an art form and music was the language of discovery. As a former DJ, I know the joy of unearthing hidden gems, and Poo-Bah's team shares that same passion and knowledge. If you're into music and crave a place where the love for it runs deep, Poo-Bah Record Shop is it. This place isn't just a record store; it's a soundtrack to the golden era of music and a reminder of why we love vinyl in the first place.

Sibylline Records is an amazing store and Pasadena is privileged to have them with us! As soon as you step in you notice the cleanliness and organization of the shop. None of that dark, dingy, and dusty atmosphere most record stores have. None of their bins are overstuffed risking the records from getting warped. Each record is in a new clear protective sleeve, with the records in individual inner sleeves as well. You can truly perceive their quality of care and genuine interest to provide VG+ or NM products! Regarding each product, they tell you exactly what pressing they have. No ambiguity or guessing. And if you have any doubt, they gladly will look it up for you and show you which pressing it is. Pricing is very fair as well. They are not taking advantage of rare pressings or up-charging. I have found most of their prices land right in the middle of Discogs' median prices, and that's despite their records being in very good shape and care. Sibylline truly cares about their customers and provides excellent service and care. Also, don't let the size of the store fool you! They are jam packed with many more albums on their online store and their Discogs shop. Their wide and huge selection is definitely worth the look. The entire team is respectful, friendly, and super helpful. They love what they do and enjoy interacting and meeting others who share in this passion of collecting records.
