MON 2ND FEBRUARY 2026:…read more I AM UPDATING THIS PERIODICALLY TO NOT LET YOU FORGET THE NASTY EXPERIENCE YOU PUT ME THROUGH, AND MY PARTNER WHO CAME WITH ME AND WITNESSED ALL OF THE COMMUNICATION BETWEEN US WHEN I HANDED MY GOODS TO YOU. YOU AS A BUSINESS NEED A BASIC LESSON IN HOW TO TREAT ALL OF YOUR CUSTOMERS FAIRLY AND WITH RESPECT. I RE-EMPHASISE THE WORD 'ALL' HERE. MY NEXT STEP WILL BE TO PUBLISH RIGHT HERE(AND ON GOOGLE REVIEWS) THE CONTACT YOU GUYS MADE WITH ME THROUGH FACEBOOK MESSENGER, SHOWING SCREENSHOTS DATES AND TIMES, AND THE APPALLING MANNER THAT YOU COMMUNICATED WITH ME. I'LL SHOW YOU HOW EFFECTIVELY USED REALLY QUITE DODGY LANGUAGE, AND WERE VERGING ON THREATENING. YOU ARE DODGY AND I AM GOING TO MAKE PEOPLE AWARE OF IT. UPDATE 19TH SEPTEMBER 2025: NOTE HERE THE DISTINCT LACK OF RESPONSE FROM LOUD AND CLEAR TO THIS REVIEW. NO REBUTTAL WHATSOEVER, AND NOT EVEN ANY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ANY SORT. THIS TRULY SPEAKS VOLUMES AND JUST HOW LITTLE THEY CARE TO EVEN DEFEND IN ANYWAY THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH ME. I've had to alter this review to reflect exactly what happened with Loud & Clear; I gave them my LP12 turntable 1.2 years ago and I asked them for nothing more than to let me know what was wrong with it(if possible), and this was given that I had only just purchased it and that it was still covered by the purchase from the business I bought it through. Instead though, L&C decided to just repair it instead without consulting me on this first. In doing this repair though, they effectively voided any warranty I had with the company that I purchased it through, even though this was a secondhand TT. Really not very good ultimately. Even so, I was grateful for the 'free repair', although I had no choice when my partner and I turned up to pick it up. So, I was told there was no charge for the repair, but I was also given no receipt and also given no details on what was actually repaired, and still to this day I do not know because they have not told me. The TT was simply handed back to me in what I realise now was some kind of golden handshake. 1 year later I find that I owe them(so they've told me via Facebook messenger) because they did me a favour by repairing it a year ago. So, let me reiterate here to them and for you the public to see; I DID NOT REQUEST A REPAIR FROM YOUR BUSINESS, BUT YOU WENT AHEAD AND CARRIED ONE OUT ANYWAY!!! Oh, I was also told not to go back to their shop recently via messenger, even though only that same day I had purchased an LP12 tonearm board from them, but that clearly wasn't ample in their estimations of what I owed them for the repair that has never been detailed. The reason I was told not to go back, was that I had decided to go with John their ex-turntable technician, and this was to fully service my LP12 and place a new tonearm on it. Even so, I found out that they told him not to entertain me either or to set it up for me. So, a guy entirely independent of them and their business now and doesn't know me, couldn't service my turntable because of contact they made with him. I mean, talk about dodgy and slightly mafioso! Not only do you play a bit dirty Loud&Clear, but you have a true brass neck telling me not to come back there. You took it upon yourselves to repair something without being asked to, and that I had clearly stated to you was still covered after my recent purchase of the item. In short, you have taken a liberty with me and you know it, and this is whether or not this repair was carried out gratis. I'm curious though, but in your companies' eyes, did that mean that the new goods I purchased from you on this same day, aren't/weren't covered under the Sale Of Goods Act/Consumer rights Act? Were the records I bought too not good enough a gesture when you put it upon me that you had repaired the turntable instead of letting me know what the actual issue was? SHARP PRACTICE!!! Let me know the next time you want to spit the dummy out of the hifi pram, and then bad mouth me and effectively blacklist me from other repairers. I'll go to Jack at The Music Room, or to somewhere else that doesn't play dirty or act cliquish after taking liberties with customers. Avoid this place unless you're willing to potentially be dealing with men who can be clearly unfair, and who act like children sometimes! PS If anyone would like a screenshot of the communication between myself and his little business, let me know and I'll post it here. It makes for some sober reading and especially the part where I offer to pay money to them for a repair that I never asked to be carried out. The response of 'Too late' is priceless.

We've used Loud & Clear a fair few times over the last year or so as we have been planning out a…read morecinema room in our house, so this review is based on their advice and paid for services in relation to that. We are not yet at the stage where we have purchased any equipment from them. You can kind of tell as soon as you walk in that this is high end shop, there's not a lot of equipment on display in the front end of the shop and what is there is big and shiny and expensive looking! The staff are very friendly and happy to chat if you just pop in, but if you need some detailed help I advise phoning in advance and arranging an appointment. They have demo rooms at the back of the store, so you can see and hear some of the equipment, which is clearly very useful. They do stock certain brands though, so clearly they will try their best to make these fit your requirments but I think most places would be the same as they can't stock and be experts on every single speaker manufacturer. We used them to create a bespoke wiring diagram for our cinema room, which they did for a fee, and we were happy with. The only slight niggle is that there was no height specified for the wall speakers and on a follow up call the advice they gave didn't seem to make sense given the dimensions of the room. It turns out it was a mix up (they were looking at the wrong drawings as the original person who helped us has sadly left the business) but we did get an answer in the end. They offer a full fit out service which includes set up and teaching you how to use the system, if like me you would need that! A really good Glasgow business.

Most recently, I was amused by hearing the No Mercy classic, "Where Do You Go? (my lovely)", whilst the hoodie wearing teen behind the counter sang along quite cheerfully. Hilarious soundtrack aside, this is a great big charity shop filled with loads of bags, books, shoes and scarves, as well as many many rails of clothing ordered by style and size, which is a nice little time saver. I find this to be the best shop of its kind in the area if you're looking for some books, as they have a great selection at very low prices, which is always a bonus. There are shelves filled with trinkets and pointless decorations that you would expect to find on your granny's fireplace, however there is the occasional little gem like pretty wine glasses. Definitely worth a visit for the impressive selection of nineties classics alone.

They also do trpoical fish, including the Finding Nemo style marine variety which are practically impossible to come across in normal pet stores. The staff are all knowledgable reptile types themselves, so If you're just popping in to try and rubberneck at a python devouring a whole mouse, then you'll be treated accordingly. If you're genuinely interested in these creatures though, then it's an essential visit.

On my visit, I encountered a parrot the size of a small country (or perhaps more accurately, the size of a big parrot) and a gruff member of staff who seemed like he would not think twice about setting a box load of pythons on me if I asked him a silly question. But then again, this is not an exhibition but rather a genuinely well-respected stockist in a retail area which requires knowledge and sensitivity. With a wide range of marine livestock, snakes, lizards, tortoises and basically everything I, personally, don't want in my house, I'm sure staff are more than willing to deal with genuine exotic reptile enthusiasts and less willing to deal with "gonna make the parrot talk mister" time wasters, which must be a regular occurrence. The shop itself has a little of that ramshackle, thrown-together feel which runs through many of the businesses in London Road but I guess that's part of its charm. Indeed it can perhaps be best summed up by the photo on its website of the 475 quid Green Tree Python... ....sitting on top of a Daily Record. Well it is the Glasgow take on exotic after all.
