Love the YouTube channel. Got some of the speaker risers recently for my Boston a70s and advent 2w and they work great! I hope one day to be near Des Moines to check out the shop. Cool place and cool YouTube!!

Excellence Included! I can’t say enough great things about Skylabs. Every visit, yes every one, has exceeded expectations. While I’m not an high-end audiophile with thousands invested in my equipment, Skylabs assisted me as if I did! Purchases include receiver, speaker cable, two turntables for different spaces (rec room & office) so what did they do - asked questions in order to make sure I bought the equipment that best matched my needs (size of the room, frequency of use, wired speakers or bluetooth, etc.). Hang with me as there is more- Skylabs repaired my father’s Acoustic Research speakers (1960s). Amazing sound! Today I just purchased my 3rd turn table as a surprise for my son’s birthday. Skylab - Thank you for making my vinyl sound amazing!

I had a great day stopping by to get some help With turntable stylus that was on its last leg. Tony gave me great advice and set new stylus and cassette on a headshell for me. Learned some great tips from Tony. These guys have lots of knowledge for people like me. Now I’m enjoying new sounds and performance from an old 70s system. My Records never sounded this good! If you are into vinyl, vintage audio, new and old equipment, support this store! They have lots to look at. And knowledgeable staff. Thanks Skylabs!

A Must Go if you are an audiophile or just want to step back in time to the rich sound of vinyl. Kevin & his team are incredible! Extremely knowledgeable. Bring your equipment in & they will give you honest feedback. We have made the Skylabs pilgrimage several times & always beneficial. Audiophile Heaven ; )
