I had had an entertainment system installed by a big box company. The contractors came (after weeks and weeks) and went without explaining anything and with all of the support materials, so when our back speakers didn't work I had no clue where to begin - other than to not call the big box store ever again. Pete and Dave stopped by same day to do an assessment and fixed the problem in no time, carefully explaining what they were doing all the way through. I made such a mistake! I should have started with Sokol Sound from the beginning!! Their prices are incredibly competitive, they are responsive and they actually care about their customers. I will never work with anyone else.

We picked a date/time and asked for (1) Flat Mount and (1) Swing Mount and they had the parts at a reasonable price. Constant communication up to arrival, which was great. Marcus arrived in a company vehicle with all his equipment and the two mounts. Marcus was awesome, he slipped on shoe covers before going upstairs. We showed him what we wanted and he went to work. I told him that if he needed help to mount the TVs once he placed the mounts on the wall to give me a shout. I went downstairs, and barely heard him working. He worked so quietly that my nervous pup didn't even bark or get anxious. Marcus worked fast, told me he was done, and he had the TVs mounted on the wall. The swing arm mount is perfectly placed and moves smoothly. It is just what I envisioned and hoped for and no mess. Marcus gave us the different payment options, price was as quoted with no changes. Marcus told us to call if any issues. I highly recommend Marcus & TV Geeks !!!

The home did not have a wired electric doorbell which was required for my cameras, and Adam (owner of 1 Solution AV) was quick to reach out. I had initially asked for recommendations for electrician but appreciated that he reached out privately to explain what I would need done. Adam immediately offered to come over and look at what I would need done and provided a free estimate. His communication / response time was quick and professional. Throughout the estimate he was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. After receiving the quote, he provided his card and without pressuring whatsoever said to call if I was interested. I reached out the same day to get scheduled. He was again quick to respond and booked me within the same week. He even reached out again to help move my installation to a Sunday morning due to the weather forecast. The installation went smoothly and quickly, and he was professional throughout the entire experience. We had some hiccups with the security system equipment (no fault of his own) and he was quick to assist as I spoke to the security system customer service. I would highly recommend Adam and 1 Solution AV and will absolutely use again for any additional services as we get settled into our new home.

From the most knowledgeable, sophisticated audiophile to a person who has only recently discovered…read morehis/her love for music--and for that vast segment of the musically attuned population between these two extremes--one need look no further than Gramophone in Timonium, Maryland, for your high-end audio needs and desires. Gramophone carries the very best in all the categories and groupings that constitute the vast repertoire of audio equipment: bookshelf speakers, floor speakers, CD decks, amplifiers, turntables, receivers, sound bars, isolators, precision cabling, and much more, exclusively featuring only the most reputable, trustworthy brands in the high-end audio equipment market. For the nascent audiophile who is a recent entry to the world of high-end audio and who might be challenged by the dizzying array of available high-end audio equipment that graces the market, fear not, for Gramophone's employees are the most knowledgeable, skillful, and passionate in the business, bar none. Of equal importance--and perhaps even more so--they are willing, able, and sincere in assisting you in whatever way possible, since they instinctively know that the purchase of high-end audio equipment is a deeply personal, serious decision and one involving a substantial financial investment. Case in point: in Spring 2025 I made the leap from an owner of a reliable, intermediate, matched stereo system that had served me in good stead for decades to a complete high-end audio system consisting of Yamaha, Sonus Faber, Marantz, and Tascam audio equipment. The Gramophone employees assisted and guided me at each step along the way as I assembled a high-end audio system that met my needs, musical tastes, budget, and personal expectations. The end result is that I am now the proud owner of a complete high-end audio system that fills my home with exacting, precision, enriching sound quality that I have so keenly desired for such an extended period of time. Another category in which Gramophone is unmatched in the world of high-end audio is that it stakes its very reputation on standing behind every product that it sells its customers. There is a personal situation that I encountered with a product--a Sonus Faber Lumina I Bookshelf Speaker--I purchased from Gramophone a short while ago. While time and space do not allow me to go into great detail about this situation I will personally attest that Mr. Justin McMahon, one of the Gramophone high[er]-level managers, took care of every detail that impacted this situation and replaced the defective Sonus Faber Lumina I Bookshelf Speaker and its mate with a pair of brand-new Sonus Faber Lumina I Bookshelf Speakers. It is demonstrative of the professionalism, courtesy, and laser focus on customer satisfaction exhibited by Mr. McMahon that has elevated Gramophone to loftiest pinnacle of exceptionalism in the highly competitive world of high-end audio equipment companies. Lest I be remiss in completing this review to my satisfaction I must also pay tribute to two other Gramophone employees: Joseph Moscatell and a young man named Daniel. Joe Moscatell has assisted and guided me in ways too numerous to mention throughout every step of each purchase I made with Gramophone, and there have been quite a few. Daniel is a young man whose knowledge of audio equipment belies his youthfulness. When I was researching high-end audio equipment it was Daniel who took great pains to explain in excruciating detail the functioning, performance, and harmonizing of high-end audio systems and how best to match components from various audio manufacturers to achieve an absolutely flawless sound quality. Having now passed mid-life I am no longer a young man; ergo, by this time in my life I have dealt with scores and scores of companies, with some ranked appallingly poorly to a few at the extreme other end of the quality continuum, thus earning a very high mark. As a consequence of dealing with scores and scores of companies, I have, out of necessity, developed a much-needed sixth sense for evaluating their overall quality, reliability, and trustworthiness. In all my many years on Planet Earth I am respectfully honored to state that Gramophone is, in all likelihood, the one company that has exceeded my extremely high expectations in every possible way. Keep up the outstanding work, Gramophone; your class, precision, and excellence absolutely do not go unnoticed. A supremely satisfied customer. Mr. Nick Glorioso

The first thing of note was how good Patrick's quote was when he sent it to me. His pricing was fair, and his detail and thorough approach to making a proposal were top notch. Everything was in it...including diagrams and photos. He does a complete breakdown of labor and hardware costs so you can tell what you are getting for your money. If, like me, you are providing the cameras or NVR, he helps you understand where your part ends and his begins. He also was very quick to get back to me and keep in contact as I was making my decision between him an other vendors. In the end, obviously I went with Patrick...and his price was not the lowest in fact. His professionalism was what tilted me in his direction. We made a few adjustments to the proposal so by the time he came in, there were almost no details left to work out. That is always a good sign. I'm very glad I made that decision. Hey and Indy did a great job taking care of our home as they worked. The camera's went up and they look as they they were originally a part of the house design. The doorbell also looks original.
