We wanted a solid stereo system to enjoy all our records on. We tried a few record player from Amazon but of course they were not the sound/experience we were looking for. As beginners we looked to Greg, from Northern Audio , who patiently talked us through what our end goal was and what budget we were looking at and he helped us build exactly what we were looking for. Our new sound system is incredible and he helped talk us through what we thought was a complicated process in a way that we, as laymen, could understand. We're so happy with our purchases and can't thank Greg enough for his patience and expertise! read more

Neil H. I met with Greg recently. He spent an incredible amount of time with me, several hours that is. He never tried to get me out of the door or pressured me to buy anything. He had great knowledge and was willing to share it all. He swapped cables, speakers and CD players many times for me. He gave me my own alone time to listen as well. This place is neat, clean, organized etc. In the end, I purchased a Luxman CD player and XLR cables and couldn't be happier. Thank you Greg and Mark for a great experience. This will be my go to audio store. read more

hey yinz! i recently confided in northern audio to calibrate and fine tune my 16 channel reel to reel. it is a lesser-seen complex recording deck (wherein every component is packed in a relatively small body) which requires a great deal of dexterity and knowledge to operate on. northern audio's tech gave the machine a thorough inspection, replaced what needed to be replaced and made sure everything operates properly... in a timely fashion and for a very affordable price ;) my machine is quite heavy so they offered to deliver my machine to my house for no additional price. please note: i live relatively close to their headquarters so this courtesy shouldn't be expected for everyone. but come on man, if they fly your gear, leave them a tip! i'll likely be leaning to northern audio as my go-to consultant / repairman for any tech issues i encounter on my analog recording journey. i actually took a break from recording to type this. roll tape!!! read more

Met with Greg for the first time - just starting a journey to upgrade my audio system. He spent quite a bit of time with me showing me fantastic equipment at the price points that made sense for me. His breadth and depth of knowledge of audio technology was impressive!! This will be my goto place for audio equipment. Also have a phenomenal collection of vinyl! read more

My wife and I spent a day in Pittsburgh on the way to Ohio for a wedding. I knew about Northern Audio as a Klipsch Heritage dealer and I had always wanted a set of Fortes after hearing them decades ago. I had also wanted to hear the new, similarly priced MoFi which they also had on the floor. So, we decided to stop by (sans appointment) and called the store. Mark promptly answered and we went around back and upstairs to meet him. He was more than gracious, extremely knowledgeable, and a joy to speak with. We listened to some great music on the Khorns and then Fortes and Cornwalls. All the while, Mark was wishing his "Klipsch guy" (Greg) was in the store but he was out helping a client with an install. As luck would have it, Greg showed up soon after and then we proceeded to go downstairs to the record store (staffed by family which I loved to see)where they had another set of Fortes set up right next to the new MoFis. Greg and Mark worked tirelessly to set up the demo and comparisons of the speakers across different electronics - it simply could not have been a better experience. In the end, we went back upstairs because I had to hear the Cornwalls vs Fortes one more time. I ended up getting the Cornwalls and they just arrived - love them! Even the ordering was a wonderful, painless process. I can not recommend this place and these guys enough. Thank you Mark and Greg and Northern Audio - I am coming back for more gear soon!

bought headphones online, described as "like new, open box warranty dealer" I pay them 714.00 what I get is a 7ish year old, worn out ear pads, paint chips, and cannot warranty through Sennheiser. Contact and am given excuse The Price, and told if I am not happy I can spend my time and money to return them. Watch out here. While I was unhappy with the transaction things were eventually made right monetarily after some back and forth read more
