I walked into Sound by Singer twice. The first time, I had absolutely no idea that I was walking…read moreinto a shrine of audio. That was in October 1998. I had just moved to NYC. I had a very limited budget of $1,000, and I was hosting a housewarming party the next day. I knew I was in the wrong store pretty much as soon as I walked in. However, Andy Singer was very patient and walked me through my options and I walked out with a CD player, an amp, and speakers from three different manufacturers that I had never heard of before. And he managed to make it work inside my budget of $1,000. A couple of months later, I was developing audiophile tendencies. The equipment I bought was that good, even within that budget, but the CD player just wasn't doing it for me. So I boxed it back up and returned to Sound by Singer. Amazingly, Andy didn't just take the CD player back. He sold me this beautiful alternative CD player made by an obscure English firm, for which all he asked me for was $200 and the return of the original CD player. The resultant combo kept me more than happy for 20 subsequent years. The amp eventually died, and the obscure firm in Jersey that made it had gone out of business, and it was not cost-effective to replace it. I ended up replacing everything. Although it's not an option for an audiophile, so I don't really qualify, I covered my home with Sonos speakers. I still have that CD player. I never play music on it anymore, but it was built with such love and care I have not been able to bring myself to part from it. Thank you, Andy. If you were the person many of the people posting negative reviews here say about you, you would have laughed me out of your store with my budget of $1,000. But instead, you made that $1,000 go so much further than I could possibly imagine. RIP Andy, and thank you for 20 plus years of beautiful music and helping turn my first New York apartment into my home.

I attempted to buy a turntable last year for over $1000 and have it shipped to me out of state. They charged my credit card immediately but I never received shipping confirmation or info. They also put their website under maintenance for like a month starting shortly after my order was placed, meaning I had to find a cached version of their site to even get an working email address to try. Which they didn't respond to anyway. After weeks of unprofessional and curt communications with one of the supposed people in charge via text message (never got responses to email and they only answered their phone one time ever), Bright just completely stopped communicating with me in any form. I never got the product, never got refunded. Had to report fraud to my bank to get the money back. Still bothers me. ​Don't trust these people unless you can go physically to their storefront, if you are remote they will try to just take your money for free.

Back in 1993 I wanted to get a nice stereo system. I was recommended to visit Accent On Music by a…read morefriend who owned a record store. I went and Dave and Alma were very friendly. They took their time and I listened to a bunch of different stereo systems and set ups hi-fi systems I was able to purchase Naim Nate II Lynn Axis Turntable That was turned in by a customer who was upgrading. I also purchased Rega speakers. Wow, how amazing the entire system sounded. Each component was matched perfectly. I went back to get a new cartridge in 2006. Got a nice Rega red cartridge. Now I've noticed my records have sounded very flat. So I think now in 2024. It's definitely time to to replace my cartridge. As the elastic bearing that supports the stylus most likely shrink. Just like tire rot on car tires. Most people replace their cartridge within a five-year period . I thought since mine still looked good. The actual needle itself that I didn't need to replace it. But obviously the component in the cartridge has degraded in nearly 20 years. So I called up Accent On Music today, May 9 and they said bring the turntable in and we will replace your cartridge They even told me how to safely transport the turntable. I'd highly recommend Accent On Music for your hi-fi stereo needs. They'll know how to put together the perfect high Fidelity system for you. They will absolutely take their time for you to hear many different set ups. Till you find the one you like.

They have a seemingly endless inventory of hard-to-find electronic components, aisle after aisle. If you had the wherewithal to build a computer or audio amplifier from scratch, you would find everything you'd need right here. Still want to play those old VHS tapes, but your player died? They have dozens of used ones stacked up like cordwood. There's a few gems to be found here, too. I was in the store today, and a rare, vintage Marantz 250 stereo power amp and a pre-owned Ampeg 4x12 bass guitar cabinet caught my eye. It's fun just to walk around and look this at stuff, even if you have no use for it. In fact, part of the shop is a museum of really old stuff that they rent out as movie props. The guys who work here are super-friendly, and will shoot the breeze with you, even if you don't buy anything. One star off for the high prices, but the overhead to maintain this operation must be huge.

The leather, the wood, the extra thick connector really makes this set stand out in a good way. It has that classic look to it that I find appealing. Sound reproduction is excellent, and because the impedance is so low, your iPhone can drive them at comfortable levels. The speakers themselves are enclosed in Mahogany tone-wood and sound fantastic as if it was an actual musical instrument. They do have an open design so those around you can hear what you are listening too so keep that in mind. They also do not do well in a plane environment because of a lack of noise cancellation and the aforementioned open can design. The headsets are made right here in Brooklyn, NY by the original family. You can't any better than that!
