It smells bad in here.

It's not hard to navigate the areas, but it is very overstocked inside, so be careful- not very handicapped accessible. Overall, it's pretty OK.

Ah Ron's Radical Records as we used to call it. One of the OG Lowell record stores. Back in the day…read moreyou had Record Box, Record Lane, Garnick's and RRRecords (there may have been others, I'm talking 80's here). Been going to RRRecords since I was a freshman in high school. He used to sell used cassettes for like $2-5 depending on the artist. Got almost all of my metal cassettes here in high school. Nowadays it's used CD's for like $5-7 but still a bargain. I have to admit I don't go in here as much I used to, but every now and again if I'm downtown and see he's open I'll pop in and check it out. Still has all the eclectic stuff he's known worldwide for (noise music). He even has his own labels for that stuff. I mean, his main focus is not my bag, but I still try to support the business when I can. He's got tons of LP's, and all genres of music in there. Also a fair amount of CD's. If you get him talking, you'll find him to be friendly and knowledgeable, even about music he likely doesn't care for. All the other stores in the area are mostly gone now, but RRRecords is still chugging along, like a little slice of my coming of age...

Looked up this place's website and they said they were open til 5pm. Drove over there and walked up…read moreto a sign stating "must wear mask to enter for Covid measures"; it's June 2022... Then worse still, next to the alarmist Covid sign was another sign stating "Due to covid, hours of operation are changed to 10am-1pm" :/ So I drove all the way over here to read some pusillanimous sign about covid and to learn that the owner doesn't wanna work so they changed their hours without updating their website. What an absolute waste of time. Maybe this establishment will go under because of their own dumb covid response, wouldn't that be a hoot!

These guys are amazing. There systems are a little high end for my particular station, but believe…read moreme, if I could afford a premium analog system, I would go here. Someday! That said, I brought my wife's vintage but Cheap turntable here when it stopped working. They didn't judge me for my mediocre equipment or even try to sell me on something new. Instead they spent the better part of an hour troubleshooting, allowing me to watch their process, and ultimately landing on two problems. One simply required some calibration to resolve. The other issue was a dead stylus, which they had a replacement for and installed, for a reasonable price. It's worth noting that in addition to their premium audio equipment, they also stock a sizable selection of LP records, encompassing a variety of genres. Thanks Fidelis!

There are a few premier ultra high end audio stores in the Northeast…read more Fidelis is an exceptional store- able to satisfy very high price equipment (5 digits) and able to satisfy any budgets for a beginner audiophile. The store never rushes you to buy- take your time to listen to really good gear. Get good advice on how to put a system together. Most of all- ask to listen to the super expensive stuff that you won't be able to buy- and figure out what good audio reproduction can be- then build your system to emulate that.

Most of the books are cheap paperback thrillers. The cookbook section is quite small, tho the religion/spirituality section is surprisingly large. It also has an enormous romance novels section- http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2012/12/25-most-ridiculous-romance-novel-covers/ And not the high quality kind.

After moving here recently, I was very excited to find a used bookstore within my area. I go…read morethrough about a book a week and any way to save a penny and also support local businesses is very exciting to me. I drove almost half an hour to get to Annie's Book Stop, with my baby in tow. As I walked in, I was greeted with a "Kids books are in the back". Not even a hello. I said thank you and proceeded through the store. My baby then informed me that she needed to use the bathroom. As a potty training child prone to accidents, that's a general emergency for me. I asked the woman at the counter if there was a restroom my baby could use, I was answered with "Not a public one. You'll have to go to Wendy's". After a moment, realizing my child couldn't hold it, we left. As someone who works in a locally owned business, I know the importance of customer service. I can't say I'll ever return to this shop, which is probably a bigger disappointment for me than it will be for them.
