DJ set up with all electrical from Marvac
Joe H.

for many years I've searched for a specific part on my cartridge for my Technics 1200 turntables. The wires that connect from the cartridge to the head unit. The only way I could buy them was to purchase a new head unit. Mine are custom all gold plated so I don't need new headshells just the wiring. I used to shop Marvac Electronics before they moved from the location across on the other side of Harbor like a block north. When they moved I thought they closed down, until one day driving by I saw the sign. I've built bass bottom 15", crossover, wiring, connectors, plugs that I've purchased over the years from here. They don't sell junk that's for sure. Stuff from Amazon or eBay are cheap China products. Marvac has some top quality merchanise that lasts. The speakers I built in 1985 and to this day all the wiring the speakers everything is in top working order. Quality!! in the picture, all the connectors wiring, plugs, speakers, mids and tweeters were all purchased at Marvac Electronics. I don't DJ anymore but the set up is in my garage and I still crank it up.

Damaged my $1200 device by forcing to close it
Mojee A.

Damaged my $1200 device and Deno supposedly the owner lied to my face saying he saw it damaged when I brought it in, the. When I challenged him that he wasn't even there, then he says I saw it when my worker "BILL" showed it to me Which was after the fact. Not even for a second taking into consideration that customer might be right. Horrible attitude and customer service. Even when I told him I have pictures that day I brought it in and I'll be happy to send it to him, he said I don't care- do whatever you want we're not responsible.

Everyone should know about this fantastic electronics superstore!!

I'm not sure why this location has several bad reviews. I went yesterday, on Mother's Day, to get a…read morenew computer and printer, and everyone was super helpful and attentive. I needed a very basic all in one computer and 3 in 1 printer. As soon as I arrived I was immediately greeted by the lovely Matthew who was wearing an HP badge and said "I'm The Printer Guy but I'm also a huge nerd so I can help you!". And he did. 30 min later I walked out with exactly what I needed. No upsell, no pushing extras, just a very affordable all in one to serve my at home needs. Issac, the cashier was also super helpful and friendly, he went to the back to locate the model I needed. So I'm not sure why all the hate. These reviews almost scared me away, I'm glad I went anyway. Don't be worried, my experience was 10/10.

I explained to the associate that the address on file was incorrect and needed to be updated. The associate showed me the address on the screen, and I personally verified that it was correct before confirming it. Today, I received a notification that my TV was scheduled for delivery tomorrow, only to discover that the incorrect address was listed once again. This is incredibly frustrating, especially since I specifically addressed this issue in-store and watched the associate verify the correct address on the screen. When I contacted customer service, I was told that, because of this address error, they could no longer deliver my TV this weekend. Since I am unable to accept delivery during the week, I had no choice but to cancel my order. I was genuinely excited about this purchase, and now I will not be receiving the TV because of an error that was clearly not mine. What makes this experience even more disappointing is that, despite the mistake being on the company's end, no effort was made to accommodate me or find a solution that would allow the delivery to proceed as originally scheduled. I understand that mistakes happen, but I expect a company to take responsibility for its own errors and make a reasonable effort to resolve them. Instead, I was left with no TV, no satisfactory resolution, and a frustrating experience that could have been avoided entirely.

We initially went to MicroCenter Tustin to purchase a PC for my son. We were going to get the parts…read morethere and have MC build it. After meeting with Mario and pricing out the parts and build for a new PC, it was clear the PC purchase would have been over budget. Mario recommended a prebuilt PC from them called PowerSpec. He showed us the G535 and it had everything we wanted in a gaming PC but for almost $500 off the retail price if we had PC built. I asked why was it cheaper and Mario told us the PC was built before the rise in prices on the memory and GPU. We then met with James Tran who showed us the G535. I noticed they had an open box PC. James explained to us the open box was a return for resale at a cheaper price. It was $100 cheaper. We bought the PC and took it home. Unfortunately all was not well with the PC. When playing two different games, (Marvel Rivals & Ark: Survival Ascended) the PC freezes for 10 seconds and reboots to the desktop. I tried troubleshooting by playing two different Benchmarks and lowering the GPU graphics, deleting and reinstalling updated drivers and lowering video resolutions but to no avail. Every time my son would play the games the PC froze and rebooted. This lead me to believe there are hardware issues with the PC. Luckily the PC was still within their 14 day return policy for returns, exchanges and refunds. We decided we did not want to have their techs try to diagnose the problem with the PC and just return and exchange for a new one. MC's return and exchange process was very simple. You go online to their website, log into your account and file a return. You are given a QR code and just then head to MC. When we arrived (the nearest MC is Tustin which is 2 hours away), we met with James Tran again who helped us with the process. I explained to James what the issues were with the PC. He told us the option of walking over to their Tech area of the store and having their guys try and diagnose the PC. I told James we would rather just exchange it for a new one. James understood our situation and spoke with his manager who allowed us to exchange the return for a new PC at the open box price so we did not have a to pay the difference. MicroCenter staff especially their managers (forgot their names) along with Mario and James Tran were awesome. They truly satisfied our experience at their Tustin store and made our teenager son very happy. So far everything is working properly with the replacement PC. I'll do a follow up if things change. Thank you again MicroCenter!

I was worried that making a visit on the weekend to their tech bar for the donation process would be really busy and result in a long wait, but to my surprise I was helped very quickly! Queueing and "checking out" was quick, as the team member just needed to register my device and provided me with a receipt for tax purposes.

Find as it takes up over half of 8 shopping center right off of harbor boulevard. Lots of parking, but this place can get busy so choose your hours wisely. Inside the store everything is neat and clean. Honestly, it's one of the better run targets that I have been to. They do a great job of facing the shelves, and making everything neat and organized for the customers. One thing I do like about this store, is they have a very good grocery department. I don't usually make a habit of buying my groceries from Target, but on those off chances when I have a need for a gallon of milk or something to eat that I need quickly, they always seem to have everything that I want. Plus this particular Target has a CVS pharmacy which is great, I used to pick up my prescriptions here. And there's never a long wait at all. Added bonus, this particular Target has a Starbucks in it. So if you need a cup of coffee while you're shopping or on your way out, they've got you covered. Bottom line? This is a very good go-to Target in the area. They've got everything you need and actually have decent prices. Don't forget to get the app so that you can get an extra 5% off.

I thought, "OMG, I'm here in Orange County - not exactly known for its tech community. What am I gonna do?" I found iSolution and brought my MacBook in. The guy fixed it right away while I watched. He didn't even charge me. Then on Saturday, Feb. 11, everytime I put my password in to log on, I got the whirligig. After waiting 5 attempts at about 15 minutes each with no progress, I realized this was a bigger problem than restart could fix. I brought my laptop into iSolution and the guy watched the whirligig and said, "This is an OS problem." Luckily I had my WD back up drive and it was current, so I told him if he had to wipe the laptop, so be it. Well, after a few hours he called and said the OS was corrupted and that he'd been able to fix it without wiping my laptop. No need to reinstall everything. I picked it up and he charged me reasonably. It is completely fixed and am on my laptop right now! I am a super happy camper. Both experiences with iSolution were fantastic. Susan
