| - I totally don't agree with the low ratings for this place. I understand that the aesthetics appears little disorganized/cluttered. But the guy that owns and runs the place, Rick, is great. First: he treats everyone who comes in the place with a tone of respect and i have been there a number of time and every type of character comes in and he always treats them really nice. every body.
Now about his services and his inventory. He has it! He has the best and most extensive collection sweet vintage turntables (Pioneer, Thorens, Akia)...
I have never seen so many high quality receivers and amps in one place in my life. He has every Marantz known to man. All of them. Just peek around the corner on the right side and you will be shocked. Marantz's 2230, 2270, 2215.... He has Sansuis, and all the classic pioneers.
Speakers are all top quality vintage products. Dynaco, Advent, Marantz, Fisher, .....it is there! bookshelf small large you need it he has it.
From my experience Rick is is also honest. He is honest to a fault.
i brought in a Marantz that had bought and the right channel was dead. Rick opened it up showed me where it was damaged and told me strength up that it is really not worth fixing because the cost of labor and parts were going to be high. He could have easly gouged me and fixed. other similar stores in Lakewood will not do that. They will take it in then call you with a bill of 300 bucks on repairs and recapping that may have not been necessary.
I decided to take on the fix the Marantz myself. Rick totally supported me sould me a few needed caps and resistors and suggested how i should do it.
He did not have to do that and he did not get upset about it. He actually went on about how cool it was that i fixed it. That would never fly at Play it again SAM. NEVER!
Give the store and Rick a chance, he is honest, likes to converse about music, radios...
listen if you are trying to get cool, vintage, hi-quality audio he has it and he stands buy his work. Ignore the clutter (which actually make s the place cooler) and give Rick a chance. He is a great guy and has great things. Do yourself a favor and stop in and talk to him. He is really cool and interesting.
Dont forget if your in the market to get good equipment don't worry about the look of the place. I keep going back and am turning my friends on to them.
Lastly, go in to buy something! It is not a great place to just window shop. Have a plan go in and he can hook you up with something great sounding, that looks great.
