Chris is THE Los Angeles Empire turntable expert. I picked up a used Empire Scientific 698…read moreturntable in completely untested condition and in a two hour house call Chris had it resuscitated, fully set up, and ready to run for another 50 years. Chris was upfront about pricing, timely, and a great communicator.

Chris does great work... if you can ever get him to finish it…read more He came out right away to consult on two consoles I had with separate problems. He replaced the capacitor for one, and took the turntable for the other with him to fix. He brought it back the next day repaired. The work for both was over a thousand... maybe 1200 or so. Fast, efficient. Worth it... if it had ended there. But it didn't. The console with the replaced capacitor still had the same problem and the turntable had a new issue and wasn't playing out of one channel. These things happen, no problem... so I texted Chris this, and he would occasionally get back to me but would not commit to come out and finish the work. After months of this I started to get worried. Finally, two or three months later of hounding him constantly, I got him to come out to at least fix the turntable - but only AFTER I had diagnosed the issue myself (was simply a loose wire in the cartridge that needed soldering) and told him not to worry about the second console for now (which he said he'd have to take into his shop since he had no room) if that was what was preventing him from coming out. That worked. He came. Soldered the one wire and one player was working fully. I was happy for at least that. We discussed having him take the other console into his shop in a month or so when he had room and finish what he started... I knew there would extra costs and told him so. Nevertheless, he has stopped responding to any communication from me at all since that day. That was months ago now. Judging by other reviews on here about Chris ghosting them, I fear that is the treatment I'm getting and it's the last I've heard from him. I'll have to find someone else to finish the work I suppose.

What a cool store! There is so much to see and everything is basically discounted from Amazon…read morepricing. They have stuff like pots/pans, Tupperware containers, car seats, car detailing products, electronics and much more. The products will change so there could be something new each time you visit. Fun fact, when you spend a certain dollar amount, there are products discounted even further you can choose from by the register. And the staff are all super friendly.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to believe that one star review: the service we received was very…read moredisappointing. From the moment we entered, as Hispanics we felt as though we were being closely watched and followed throughout the store in a way that made us uncomfortable. We had no large bags or items with us--just a wallet--yet we were treated with a level of suspicion that did not seem warranted. At the same time, another customer (take a gander) in the store, who had a large backpack, which looked like it could fit an arsenal was able to shop freely without the same level of attention. The contrast in how we were treated was noticeable and concerning. Prior to visiting, I had already spoken with someone about purchasing a higher-priced item. However, due to the way we were treated during our visit, my husband and I decided not to move forward with the purchase. Instead, we chose to leave and spend our money elsewhere. We ended up going to a nearby business (Ss donuts) where we experienced welcoming and respectful service, which only highlighted the difference. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, as no customer should feel uncomfortable or singled out while simply trying to shop.

In March 2026 I replaced my trusty old Magnapan 1.7i speakers with Sonus Faber Olympia Nova III…read morespeakers. Free delivery and help unpacking them. After a little fooling around with placement (some guidance from Alon) the sound is fantastic. I hear the music, singer here, drums there, and so on. I don't hear two speakers, just music, even on some old 1950s Rock and Roll. To top it off, Shelley's took the old speakers back to the store and sold them for me, getting more than I ever could. But foolish me, I used the money for new speakers for my study. The whole experience was low-key and relaxed. I'm one happy camper.

For starters, let me say that I've lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years and…read moreShelley's is the ONLY Linn dealer that I will ever do business with, especially when it pertains to my LP-12 upgrades (performed by the inimitable Stan Zeiden who is an enigma in his own right!). Alon Moscovitch has an incomprehensible knowledge of music, "high-end" audio and how to integrate the two into something that is a joy to live with. He carefully listens to the needs of the customer and, along with his team of experts, ensures that you are completely satisfied with your audio/video home experience. The store has a welcoming atmosphere, as though you are stepping into your own living room and uncluttered like so many audio stores tend to be. I always look forward to traveling down South to visit Alon and Stan and having my LP-12 optimized.
