I can't say enough good things about Howard at The Audio Specialist. Over the years, I've brought…read moremultiple Marantz receivers and turntables to his shop, and every single experience has been outstanding. Howard is incredibly knowledgeable, meticulous in his work, and genuinely honest, a combination that feels increasingly rare these days. He takes the time to explain what's going on, never upsells, and clearly cares about doing the job right rather than rushing repairs out the door. My gear has always come back sounding fantastic, properly serviced, and treated with real respect. If you have vintage or modern audio equipment and want someone you can truly trust, Howard is your guy. His expertise, integrity, and passion for audio are evident the moment you talk with him. I highly, highly recommend The Audio Specialist and will continue to bring my gear here for years to come.

Howard is a rare gem in the world of audiophiles. We not only found the record player of our dreams…read moreat an extremely reasonable price, but down the road when we had an issue with it, he immediately helped us to successfully resolve it. We can't sing his praises loud enough. Check out his selections, you won't regret it, plus his customer service is unparalleled.

Replaced the fuse for $4 and fixed it myself. I really appreciate that he helped me figure it out without him coming out. I'll definitely be calling Chris again with any more audio equipment issues. thanks!

The next day after Chris came to my home to install it I reached out to him about audio dropping from one side. I've text and called him over the last 4 months. The times we've talked he has expressed getting a needle and swapping it out. EVERYTIME he has said, let me see if I have a needle. Maybe I can come by tomorrow or whenever. I say ok let me know and I never hear back from him. A few weeks go by and the cycle repeats itself. I've refrained from leaving a negative comment but I talked to him on Tues he said, "let me see if I have a needle in my box, how about tomorrow". Told him no one would be available tomorrow but Thurs or Fri, he said ok. Heard nothing and here we are. Its Saturday. Called him, no answer, left a message. So I have a console that plays records that will periodically drop audio. But if you ever so lightly tap the back of the tone arm audio might return. So that's what I got for $675.

Outstanding Service and Support at Ahead Stereo…read more I purchased my McIntosh turntable from Ahead Stereo and recently ran into an issue with my stylus. I reached out to Brian, and he immediately went above and beyond--contacting McIntosh on my behalf, walking me through the options, and ultimately helping me get back up and running. What stood out most wasn't just the solution, but the care and integrity Brian showed throughout the process. He didn't treat me like just another transaction, he treated me like a valued customer. That kind of support is rare, and it's exactly why I'll keep coming back to Ahead Stereo. If you're into high-end audio and want a dealer who stands by their customers, this is the place. Highly recommend.

Today during my visit to ahead stereo I was looking for an education in creating a future home stereo system, I'm not up to date on all the options, but have a general idea of what I'm trying to achieve. These folks seemed interested in selling me a consultation for a couple hundred dollars rather than trust helping me and winning my trust, it seemed they were concerned if the helped me understand what would be a good solution I would leave the store and buy online. That was not the plan and once I figure out what I'm looking for I'll probably be back to buy local, as I'm a big supporter of that concept. My suggestion in the future is customer comes first, build the trust and loyalty will follow.

6 out of 5. I just found this review by Nick M - and I could not have said it better myself:…read more Nearly impossible to say enough good things about Jen, Oscar, and Rewind Audio! Not only do they consistently have an amazing inventory of diverse, unique, high-quality vintage hifi components (speakers, amps, turntables, cassette decks, etc), but they are also extremely knowledgable, kind, and earnest people who value their customers deeply, and strive to deliver the best possible gear and customer service. Their energy and passion is infectious! Aside from being great people - they offer very fair and competitive pricing on all of their equipment and you can be certain that everything in stock has been inspected, tested, and held to the highest standard - which makes the value nearly priceless. A rare gem in LA! A 'must visit' for vintage audio nerds.

The party host had a bartender, set up a food and appetizer station near a retro camper. Add some party decorations and it was such a cool place to rent space from! Definitely considering a rental for a future party here and also, to go back and buy some records which were reasonably priced.

It's a very specific piece I've not been able to find at any of the other businesses I visited. First off, they quickly understood what I was looking for since I didn't have the specific piece on hand, and three different people quickly jumped in and brought me several options to choose from. After that, I had a question about my setup and they gave me several tips which I went home and used right away. I've never left a gear/rental shop feeling so well taken care of as I did at Hollywood Sound Systems. Top notch service and a great team all around. Also, they have an amazing collection of vintage microphones used by some of the biggest stars and announcers. Seriously, you have to see it to believe it. These people are legit and I highly recommend them and look forward to returning to them to rent gear and know that if I have any question about sound and mics, they'll have all the answers.
