From the kitschy decor, incredible organization snd amazing selection, this store is a MUST SEE. Peter is a delight and so cool and friendly. I had a blast chatting with him.

The prices are a teeny bit on the high side, but considering the selection I'm not complaining. Also, be sure and get the discount for buying a certain amount of records. Also, be sure to utilize the owner as he's got all the knowledge on music and equipment. Anyways, this is definitely my favorite store now.

Popped by Hi-Voltage Records to scope their selection with my family. It's really clean and well…read moreorganized. Easy to locate each genre, and they have a wide selection of different genres! Indie, alternative, punk, metal, rock, pop, reggae, funk, soul, jazz, blues, and even some hip hop. The pricing varies - obviously newer albums and popular artists are pricier, but nothing is overpriced for what it should be here. $30 for a newer album, and you can score on some good used records for a few bucks if you're looking to grow your collection. They also have other merchandise like CDs, DVDs, t-shirts, books and more. There was only one staff member behind the counter, sort of tucked away behind a computer. It was alright, no one asked what we were searching for or if we needed help, but that's ok because we were browsing. Great selection with a wide variety!

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.

Honestly I don't know anything about audio equipment or what they do and sell here.

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!

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.

Unfortunate as I haven't been to this location and I am giving the rating on the fact that I was here when they should have been open. I even called the store at 12:05 thinking someone might be in the back room. Nope. I gave them the customary 15 minute frame, but it looks like I will take my business to a store that be open when they state they should be open. Quite disappointed. Walking back to my car empty handed. Won't come down here unless I am in the neighborhood which is unlikely.

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.
