I have bought records here, bought equipment, and have had high end gear serviced here. Never once an issue. Dave is as solid as they come. He stands by his products, he turns around his service repairs quickly and he knows his stuff.
Amazing used selection of vinyl, and some great new stuff too. I can't walk out of here without a giant stack of wax. The back area of the store has fully refurbished audio equipment where you can find some great deals. All serviced by Dave himself. I have purchased at least 3 turntables from that back wall, and felt comfortable handing them off to someone else after I upgraded again.
I had a Nikko receiver serviced most recently. It had some issues but this is the receiver my old man used to listen to the ball games on when I was a kid growing up. It's not some top of the line tube amp, but for me this was about the memories of that old blue light receivers warm glow and that crackle and pop of the vinyl.
I got to listen to the Tribe in the playoffs on that thing this year, they unfortunately lost to the damn Yankees, just like my pop would have done back in the 70's when that Nikko was new out of the box. Except the Indians sucked in the 70's, but the receiver regardless of Indians wins and losses is the real winner.
What I am trying to say is Vinyl Groove is the best in the area for servicing vintage audio equipment. Nikko to McIntosh every piece of equipment matters to someone and Dave is the best in the area to bring back old audio equipment and old memories.
