This is an audio shop on the Holloway Road that carries (very) high end equipment. In my…read moreexperience the staff are very knowledgable, and quite importantly to me, they have on onsite repair service. I had a speaker (a powered subwoofer, purchased elsewhere) that developed an electronic problem in the amplifier. It was just out of warranty, so I looked around for repair options. After speaking with the staff at Bartlett's, I felt comfortable that they'd address the problem for me, but I was concerned about the price, since the products they sell are quite top of the range. I was pleased to receive a fair price for the repair, and they finished before the estimated time. After bringing it home, it turned out that there was an additional problem not addressed initially, but since the repair was guaranteed, they asked me to bring it back, and all seems to be fine now. (This is a review of the repair service, rather than an experience of purchasing a product there. However, once I can afford it, I would gladly return there for an upgrade in equipment.)

The guys in here are always ready to help and must find it pretty amusing when I try and explain in nontechnical terms what I'm looking for like "oh you know that things that connects the little plug with the even smaller one" and they are like oh you mean the male/female adaptor.

Seeing as this place sells items of the kitchen and electrical genre the S&A might stand for Stereos and Adapters or maybe Stand and Admire. My roommate and I went into here looking for the strange electrical species called a Scart cable. Heretofore unknown to either of us, we easily managed to find the unusual species which we sought. Long and skinny like a snake, with prickles on either end like a porcupine. We thought buying one to keep our DVD player and TV company because sometimes they get lonely and bark and wake us up. The scart cables ranged between 13 and 18 pounds. I've since seen them for 3-6 pounds. They looked like very nice scarts, but the selection was so overwhelming (about 4) that we decided it best to ask the advice of our flatmates. The store had a myriad of stuff from alarm clocks to ovens, from adapters to kettles, from Gilgamesh memorabilia to talking office chairs with big, soft teeth. It's convenient, but nothing out of the ordinary of a normal store of this genre. The staff let us browse tranquilly and we had our fill and left.

Review dilemma - I brought my dads 60's stereo in here for a repair job and it ended up taking them…read more3 months to fix. 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

I'm surprised no one else has talked about Audio Gold yet…read more This shop sells old records, and all kinds of speakers. They also sell vintage radios and turntables. 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.
