The Sound Guy

Guy was great! Brought in and older expensive Polk center channel speaker for repair. It was only firing on 1 channel speaker. Guy dropped what he was doing and took a look at it. Within about 20 minutes or so he had diagnosed the issue to a short and then installed a jumper wire rather charging me to replace unnecessary parts. The price was great too, as I expected to pay more. Thought for sure I'd be buying a whole new center channel. When I got home I fired it up and the sound was fantastic. I would highly recommend Guy and his team. Thank you!

I had a Panasonic 5 cd/2 cassette stereo that quit working. tried to re-set, looked for reset buttons, was referred to these guys by friends because of work he'd done on their stereo. So I made the trek from the West Valley, lugged it in(not a lot of parking available) and paid my deposit. I waited a couple of weeks, and when I didn't hear anything I called.... I guess they're overloaded with work because Guy told me that there was an unreplaceable motor(?) that the company doesn't make any more. I just wish they'd called me when they got the info from the company... I had a ticket and they took my number. The rating is because of the lack of urgency in notifying me, and telling me that there were missing screws... yes, I brought the screws with me when I left my stereo. I guess that's something else that got lost in the store. :-/

I had a vintage Magnavox Console that I wanted to get repaired as it developed a loud hum that made the using experience not very pleasant. I usually like doing the work myself as I am mechanical and electronically inclined but this time I decided to leave it to the experts as I wanted this console to be in great shape and back to working condition. I took my vintage tube amplifier along with the record changer. Once inspected I was told by Guy and Brian that they needed the radio tuner to be able to complete the system and be able to verify that it was in working condition. After shipping the radio tuner to them (this since I live out of town ), they proceeded to inspect it and work on it. A month and a couple of weeks later, after several follow ups they finally said my record changer had a bad motor and was not salvageable, then proceeded to tell me the amp and tuner were repaired and recapped. Once I got home and put it together, the hum was still there. I was very disappointed as I talked and mentioned that to them and they said they did work on it only to find out they added 1 single capacitor to the amp while it was noticeable that a couple of them were already leaking and as well needed replacement. I tested the capacitors without the speakers ( as they mentioned they wouldn't really know that there was a hum since they didn't have the speakers, and the speakers were not taken since like some other clients have mentioned, they dont have space to take bigger equipment in) Indeed several Capacitors were almost not working. I had to put hands on and ordered all the schematics and materials and I actually had to change the capacitors myself on the tuner and the amp and as well fixed the record changer which only had the motor base support too tight that it was creating too much friction and making the motor hot and not allowing the Record Changer to turn at the right 33.5 RPMs. After doing all this work, I got the whole console back to working condition and sounding amazing. Very disappointed that took time and money for them to not address the issue, go around the topic and to send me home 4 hrs away with the items almost the same way they came in. I have attached the pictures of the work I had to do myself, and the videos are the before and after the Hum I had to fix. I understand people are busy, but like other clients have said, we can take some time before we bring stuff in so you guys don't have to take in all at once, but after dropping close to $350 on gas, shipping and paying your business only to come home with the same issue, of course one gets upset. And Yes, I did take it to their shop, and talk back and forth with Brian and Guy by phone and by emails exchanged.

I kind of don't want to tell people about this hidden gem of a store.. I had an old microphone from the 40s repaired here for a great price ... Then discovered all the vintage stereo equipment they have. Could've chatted with stereo guy all day! I'm definitely building my new sound system here... Neighbors, BEWARE

Can't say enough good things about Guy and Phil. These gentlemen share the love and appreciation of vintage audio. They brought back to life my 47 year old Sansui AU 717 amp that had been in storage for 25 years with a bad right channel at a shockingly low price. I have had the good fortune to have rubbed elbows with some of the most famous people in music who have actually used this amp in the late 70's. I wish they could hear it now. I am forever grateful to have found Guy and Phil to bring those memories back to life. PS.. call Guy in advance for timely service.. the best things come with time when true craftsman execute their skills.

These guys are awesome! They have rebuilt my old Pioneer speakers (bought system in 1987) and they sound great. Recently they replaced the fabric for a Kenwood speaker I have. It looks good, see photo. On top of that their prices are very reasonable.

Guy was able to repair and restore my Sony Walkman cassette player with new belts, bringing it back to life with a desirable turnaround time. Many thanks, I will be back again.
