They are the best. We have had old speakers redone, bought a Cambridge sound amplifier and helping us with a purchase from Cambridge ear phones that we didn't buy from them. The best work for repairs for audio.

These guys are great. I drove all the way from Indianapolis to have them check out a vintage receiver. They were awesome. Helped me review it, found a minor problem and sent me on my way. There are the only reliable repair location within 90 miles of Indy. Very knowledgeable, pleasant and cooperative. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Went here because I hate the internet and I hate ordering online. These fine gentlemen hooked me up with any random gizmo that I was seeking out! I got my favorite turntable fixed up too! Now what they forgot to tell me is I needed a phono preamp! I never heard of such witchcraft but luckily my eldest AVR receiver, A Yamaha RX-V1300 just came out to me last night, self identifying as a phono preamp! Wow, how lucky am I! My dumpster fire stereo can now play the worst movies and the greatest music for my own entertainment! And get this, I finally got to throw out the old Emerson! 💥💥💥🗣🗣💯💯💯💯💯💯 If you have anything involving stereo, bubba let me tell you these men will hook you uuuuupppp 10/10 Second best place in louisville

Joe is crazy knowledgeable about all types of stereo equipment, of all vintages. Interested in Jazz, he can verse you on that, just as well. Seriously, if you are looking for advice, guidance, repairs or actual equipment, this is your place.

This the only place in the city where I could find a stylus brush. Not a specialized or rare item, but they had one when I needed it. Here's what impressed me: the next customer walked in with what I assumed to be a broken record player. The expert behind the desk was able to identify the make and model *before* the customer even got to the desk, and within 30 seconds diagnosed the problem. The place is filled with beautiful vintage audio equipment and there's a workshop in the back. If I had the money to buy a piece of audio equipment from here, I would be 100% certain that it would work and last a long time. This place is run by people who care deeply.
