That said, the vinyl they do have is small but well curated. They also sell vintage speakers, turntables, and other gear. The vibe inside feels like a classic vintage record shop muted colors, a bit nostalgic. The guy behind the counter was cool and approachable. I believe you can also bring in vinyl or stereo equipment to sell, but you'd want to contact them first. It's a cool little place

Working for a school district we have to comply with sate and local purchasing and bidding rules. Working with Gary he would easily be the low bidder beating out B&H PhotoVideo, and other discount vendors. When he couldn't he was happy to provide a quote to fulfill my 3 quote regulations. We had a few large projects where Gary arranged for instillation of complex systems. All were professional and completed in a timely manor.

I am hosting my 20 year high school reunion next month low in the southern tier and reached out to…read moreBrighton Sound to see if they'd come down all this way to do a very basic sound system for us. As expected, they do not service my area, but Steven, the VP at Brighton Sound, was quick to respond to my inquiry and even provided me with some tips on finding the right equipment more locally to me. Honesty and helpfulness go a long way. Perhaps we'll have an opportunity to do business in the future!

Back in the day, there were a good number of high end audio dealers that were knowledgeable and…read morecommitted to customer service. Now there are maybe a couple left as the interest in audiophile equipment is fading. I unqualifiedly recommend working with Lance at Forefront Audio. He is more knowledgeable and helpful than the competition. Don't be fooled by the small storefront. He handles a large array of equipment and will help you find the best solution to your audio needs. Its also worth noting that his familiarity with vintage audiophile systems (like mine) is second none.

I was new to audiophile quality gear when I started shopping at Forefront, Lance was patient,…read moreextremely knowledgeable, spent hours with me answering questions and helping me figure out what kind of equipment I would likely need for my listening space, without pushing the most expensive items within my budget, and in fact, on several occasions recommend that I did not invest in a piece of equipment that he believed was more expensive than needed at the time, or trying to get me to but what he thought was the "right" choice, instead, he just gave me my options and allowed me to make my own decisions, he has allowed me to audition and A/B test equipment in my own home, and has delivered and picked up speakers that were too large for me to transport myself, and all without any guarantee I would even make a purchase, and because if this meticulous level of costumer care, there is a really nice community of audiophiles that hang out at his shop, Lance made what could have been an overwhelming and intimidating experience really comfortable and enjoyable, I would not shop anywhere else for high end audio.

After…read morereceiving $170 to do an estimate which I never got, he demanded an extra $170 for 2.5 hours work that I had not authorized. The receiver is still not working. The day we went to pick it up, Dave wouldn't give it to me. He cursed at me, he threatened to trash my receiver; I called the police while standing in the shop. My wife has the video. We turned to leave the shop without argument. He followed, screaming obscenities in my ear. When we reached the sidewalk, he assaulted my wife, grabbing her phone and running back into the shop. I pinned him against the wall and we got the phone back. Police were not available. Three days later, two officers came on a "keep the peace" call and were able to get my receiver back. I'm the second reviewer to have called for police assistance. I wish there was an option for zero stars.

Dave at Humphrey's is unprofessional due to the following :…read more1) He told me that the problem with the SAE amp and preamp was difficult to diagnose and took his tech months. I had the same problem after getting the SAE's back from Dave ! I then took both pieces of equipment to a reputable shop ( which charged me a $ 20 deposit ) .They told me there was no problem with the equipment . In fact , I discovered the problem myself by using an integrated amp that I had in storage .One of the interconnect cables had a loose connection. I replaced it and the system worked perfectly . 2) The amount paid was well in excess of the final receipt that I got from him. 3) I was never informed when the " deposit " ( $ 316.40 ) was used up. I should have been asked if I wanted to proceed with the repair . It turned out to cost more than the equipment was worth in the end . ( Oh , the other repair shop soldered the interconnect for me at no charge and did not charge me anymore , other the the original $ 20. ! 4) Almost a total lack of communication . What could I do since he had the equipment ? 5) The " free " pick up and delivery is a joke . It is simply built into the original inflated deposit . ( see # 3 above ) Alan.

Inattentiveness and shoddy customer service. Not what one looks for in a HiFi audio dealer where…read morecustomers' audiophile systems often easily run from mid-five digits and into six-digit values. Unfortunately, over the course of one month of back-and-forth questions and answers to and from the owners and/or representatives of Vinyl Sound, this is most definitely a one-star review. Highly surprising from a hi-fi/audiophile retailer, as I've only had one other negative experience in my entire life from a different retailer. My requests were seemingly simple: 1) bearing oil for my Transrotor ZET 3.1 turntable; 2) replacement belts for the turntable, and; 3) a request regarding the possibility of making a cover for my turntable. Over a 29-day period, here is the breakdown, in number of days, of their response times to my various e-mail requests: 1, 5, 8, 0, 0, and finally, after waiting 14 days for a reply, I sent a final e-mail requesting an update but have yet to receive an answer. It's now 22 days without a reply at the time of this review. There are many other dealers to choose from. Select another that's not Vinyl Sound and likely be much more satisfied.
