I am confident that had I cancelled my dispute as they demanded, I would have never received the item, nor a refund. Best avoid and get items at more reputable places, thanks.

My husband LOVES to go record shopping when we travel to other countries, and Sound of the Universe…read morewas on the top of his list of London record shops. It also has the advantage of being located down the street from two other record shops, so it's like a three-fer. Anyway, Sounds of the Universe is in the most picturesque lovely building standing tall on a corner with an understated yellow "Records" sign pointing people towards the door. They have a wide selection of records that are really nicely organized, and the shop is really bright and clean. My husband said they were very smart because they had the type of record collection that encourages people who are into one style of music to explore and find additional albums that are related within easy reach.

Was underwhelmed by the selection and organization of the shop. Didn't really find anything unique or desirable. The prices also reflect the higher end of the market.

The Hi Fi Surplus Store also has great prices on DJ equipment, though some of it is not as refined as what you'd find at West End DJ nearby. There's always a friendly salesman on hand to answer any questions, and the better you are at bargaining yourself a good deal the easier it'll be on your pocket. A cool product I saw in particular was a huge 58" rear projection screen for a thousand quid: thoughts of Call of Duty 5 on Xbox Live and a hi-def DVD of "The Day The Earth Stood Still". Another interesting fact to note is that it is very difficult for most men to walk past this window without the glint of technology catching their eyes. Beware: you'll still find a lot of the items available in this store cheaper if you buy it online.

It's a medium sized store packed of electronic gadgets and one really needs to ask the staff to find out if they carry the product or not. I had to buy a socket converter so I could plug my recharger into the socket. I asked for a North American socket converter, and the staff at the counter immediately showed me the huge stack of it. He even let me test it out and it worked too. So, I decided to buy it and I gave him the money, but the staff at the counter forgot to put the socket converter in the bag, and foolishly, I left the store without the product. Oh, if you're wondering, I did come back to the store, and I got the socket converter back!

Despite thus I truly believe it to be a one off case as I received nothing but good service whilst dealing with these guys. Vintage stereo's, old vinyl, repairs, new kit - this place is a great starting point for anyone interested in buying or renovating a stereo . The Walls are filled with beautiful top of the range systems and it is all too easy to lose a few hours. Whilst the repair of my stereo did take a long time I was assured it was a combination of an unusual backlog of repairs and the fact it was sent to an external engineer. I was kept up to date with progress, given an accurate quote and had money knocked off for the delay. Got the stereo back and it sounds good as new. Good result especially as I could find find very few people in London who seemed willing to take on the job. Well recommended

This store has a cool, kind of hippish vibe and I saw this woman with green paint on her face hanging about ( maybe she was a shop assistant) and overheard a man talking about speakers he could put in his kitchen closet. This is good place to come for Vintage equiptment (Including an old keyboard still in the box at least ten years old) and to have a cheap drink. They are selling coffee here for 1.50. Unheard of in Crouch End. It's gourmet stuff as well.
