Specialties
We stock carefully selected, great sounding HiFi, Multiroom and Audio Visual Systems and specialise in Linn LP12 turntable sales, re-sets and upgrades.
We have a well chosen product range, most of it sourced from UK based manufacturers. Much of our business is gained from recommendations and from existing contented customers, who we think form our most valuable asset. We have a sales team here in the shop of four people, and we offer two large and comfortable demonstration rooms for the purpose of equipment evaluation.
So why not pay us a visit in the great city of York? Located in the shadow of York Minster we are accessible from the centre of this historic medieval city and within easy walking distance of York's attractions.
