I travel the country stopping at record stores in every city. This shop was recommended to me by…read moresome Seattle locals. The store itself is well-stocked, organized and has an overall amazing vibe. They play GREAT music. They have a really well curated collection of stuff and I was super impressed by their collection of funk/soul/r&b. I found a number of cool stuff. I will say, their prices are really high, especially with condition of records. They were asking $25 for a vinyl with a shredded cover that I purchased in VG+ condition for $20 elsewhere. I would have bought WAY more from them, but why would I pay $15 for a record i could buy for $8-10 elsewhere that's probably in better condition? I know there's a premium on all records up here but with sales tax so high, it really prices out the base consumer. I had a stack of 30 records I wanted, but ended up only getting a few. I got two t-shirts and 3 records and it was $120. Ouch. Their "bargain bin" was anything but a bargain. Thrashed records, asking $15-25. Still a cool store, with great selection of genres. The lady that checked me out was really nice.

Been going to this record store for years. Spent quite a bit of money with them, and have always…read morehad a decent experience. Until I started trying to bring in my own music from local bands that I play in. I've tried to bring in two separate projects from two different bands on two separate occasions. I walked in and politely introduced myself and presented the situation. I said, "I play in such and such local band, and we made some physicals of our last project", and then I'd ask if they'd be willing to sell some copies at their store. The first time, the employee literally laughed at me and said "I mean, I guess", and took out $1 price tag stickers and put them on my cassette tapes right in front of me. The second time, the owner Bryan, didn't even return my hello, audibly groaned under his breath and told me "he's super busy right now". He barely even looked at me, let alone check out what I brought in. I understand if the demand for local music isn't as high as other things. But the way this store goes about turning people away has 100% ensured that I'll never spend another dime here. Whatever they've got going on at this store; they certainly don't care about local music.

Then at Best Buy where I could at least listen to something, but with limited choces in my range and a salesperson who was nice but not very knowledgable. Kitsap AV was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful, giving me the opportunity to listen to multiple choices and guiding me through the decision making process.

Honestly I don't know anything about audio equipment or what they do and sell here. But I was asked…read moreby a friend to pick up a purchase here for him (a turntable) and wound up chatting with the crew for a good long while. Their knowledge of their products was really impressive, and a truly good group of people as well. They had some music playing which had just amazing sound and a bunch of crazy high quality audio equipment. I had no idea that a place like this existed in Kitsap County, if you care about the way your music or home theater equipment sounds I would definitely recommend you pop in and talk to these guys!

I cannot get over how cool the record clocks are and the prices are so affordable I couldn't believe it. It was mentioned they offer live music which you can learn more about on their instagram page.

I was in town for a few days and wanted to do some vinyl hunting. Never been to this area before,…read moreso I decided to take a chance. First impression: store name lives up to expectations!! Great prices, all vinyl I checked were clean and in VG++ to EX condition. Found two great finds for a very great price!! The owner (I assumed at the counter) was very polite and knowledgeable about music. I highly recommend this small store, especially if you are looking for classic rock vinyl.

This place is great, and the guy I talked to behind the counter took a look at my records and gave…read moreme a very fair price with no pushiness or anything. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. My only complaint is they literally never ever answer their phone. I called for three days before finally just driving the hour to the store. I would come again but its really frustrating when i just wanted to ask a question about a particular record player I saw there before and they wont answer the phone which could have saved me hours of driving.​

I've spent hours listening to various setups over time. The staff is knowledgeable and interesting. There is a good selection of high-end records here which are hard or impossible to find at most vinyl-only shops. Prices are reasonable considering Discogs market rates. I make a point to stop in every time I'm in Gig Harbor!

The staff are quirky - the good kind of quirky. They know their stuff and they aren't herding you to buy what they have. Instead I feel like I'm having a conversation with a super knowledgeable enthusiast whose opinions I can trust. I bought my first piece, a Leben amp, and it was everything it was claimed to be. Recently I added a set of Chartwell speakers which have their special charms. Great shops like GHA make you want to return. They dig their music and they treat customers with respect - educating where helpful and never condescending. They lean towards tubes and English hifi, but spend time listening and you'll understand the charm. Prices are fair and trades are welcome and fairly valued.

The checkout experience was smooth, though the space is a bit tight and there aren't many cashiers, so I could see it getting crowded during busy times. The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the buyback program. I brought in 12 books that were new or in like-new condition (no damage, no markings and some hadn't even been read) and was offered just $0.50 per book, totaling $7 for all 12. This included three complete series and several standalone titles. Out of curiosity, I checked their shelves and saw some of the same books priced between $8-$15 each. Overall, it's a great place to shop for books, but I wouldn't recommend selling here if you're hoping to get fair value especially if your books are in excellent condition.
