Century Electronics was located in the same plaza. My friends and I would go in the store and look at all the hifi stereo equipment. This was probably nearing the end of the HIFI stereo era which produced the best iconic stereo equipment of all time. Needless to say we were tolerated even tho we couldn't afford anything in the store. Fast forward 30 years. My collection of stereo equipment was all manufactured before I was born by a good decade. It's the type of equipment that you get fixed and will never ever see the bottom up a dumpster. The number of individuals still alive with the skill to service these units and restore them to their glory is dwindling every year that goes by. Century Electronics has not 1, but 2 old school techs that can fix anything from Marantz receivers, McIntosh tube amplifiers to speakers all made before the Vietnam war. They take pride in their work and preserve quality by refusing to use cheap Chinese capacitors and other inferior parts. This is the only place I will take my equipment. Don't expect to walk in for the ABT style showroom with 100k of product. The back room repair shop is where it's at here.

My 85" Samsung suddenly lost power. So I called Joe, the owner of ABC TV Repair, who I found…read moreonline. He arrived within 2 days, on time, almost to the minute, to do an analysis as to what the problem was with my TV. After opening up the back of my TV he discovered that the power board on the TV was fried. He then advised me that to get a replacement power board would be about $350. So, for his $119 service call charge to come by for initial analysis plus the part and return service call for also $119, I had a fully restored 85" TV for about $570, vs the cost of replacement TV for about $1800. Joe definitely knows what he is doing and is a true professional. I'd recommend him to any family member or friend.

My vintage system,…read morepurchased in large part from Simply Stereo at their old location, was working fine but I was looking for something better. After answering question after question and really listening to my responses, Dave set me up with an incredible system. He matched a McIntosh integrated amp with a pair of Dali Epicon speakers and a REL subwoofer. He came out to the house, set-up the entire thing and even corrected errors on my video system. The results were incredible. I could not be happier with the component choices and the musicality of the system. It has a great sound stage. Daves interest, attention and willingness to take the time to explain things are second to none. This is the only place to go when shopping for high-end audio equipment.

Stellar experience at Simply Stereo!…read more We were in the market for a new media console, and Salamander caught my husband's eye. He noticed that Simply Stereo was listed on Salamander's website as a premier dealer. He sent an email inquiring about coming in to see some items in person, and we headed there on Saturday afternoon. We were greeted right away by Dave, who was helping a customer carry something out to their car. When he came back in, he listened to what we were there for and showed us upstairs to one of the listening rooms. He patiently answered approximately five million questions from my husband and, as luck would have it, what they had on display almost exactly matched what we were looking for. They were able to to get fiddly with the details of what looking at side panel options and determining how the tv mount connects. It was a no brainer to make our purchase from Simply Stereo. The price was excellent and the customer service was top notch. From the email through purchase, it was a great experience and we'll definitely be back in the future - I think a few speakers caught my husband's eye while we were wandering the store.

I asked about cost of delivery and set up and told him I was just looking at this point but thank you and so no issues there. I passed thru the phone accessories thinking I should get an xtra charger for my phone. Alas I see an unknown brand thing like an Apple Pencil. It was marked 9.99 on the tag and on the scan by it. I take it to the register and it gets rung up at $42 with tax. I go to enquire after talking to the lady about before checking it out, it to whom I said, wow $10 instead of 100 ish for Apple? She said yes Apple is overpriced. So I thought wow $10, I must get one. So I, after finding out it didn't ring up at that price talked to the manager. He said oh they're in the wrong place that is for a different type. There were like 4 to six on the hanger with the wrong price so I said well do I get it for that price or free even since I'm bringing this error to your attention and spending the time to point out your three packs of the same are marked wrong as well. No sorry but thanks for letting know. Well ok I'm not usually a mooch looking for free stuff, so next time I won't waste my time trying to be helpful and they can continue to have things marked wrong. A lot of things. It's not like someone could read the tiny numbers to switch them up and they were the only kind there. Maybe I'm just having a bad day, but oops sorry sorta got me not happy with Best Buy today.

The employee said once she's in a screen setting up phones she can't get out to help someone else.
