I am a kid of the 80'ths - what a fantastic stuff !
Recently my parents moved to a retirement facility and my dad had a cool Marantz receiver. I asked him about it....I nearly died when he told me he gave it to Goodwill. As a kid I used to sit if front of my uncles entire glass encased system and listen to Aerosmith Rocks on Koss headphones in the the '70's. I loved looking at the VU meters.
Nathan Trujillo Ouch! 😢🎼✨
Wow....Nice shop!
What memories..back in the day I had a Pioneer tuner (with the heavy weighted dial knob), Crown amp , Akai reel to reel , Marantz equalizer , Imsai cassette deck , KLH tower speakers and to top it off..a Pioneer single motor/direct drive turn table with the best diamond Ortofon stylus..what fun times I had listening to all my vynils...and cassettes.
wish i had a store near me like this.....amazing stuff.....
During my first trip to this place, Bobby told me that some people come here to find a cure to sickness and I knew what he meant. And then we laughed.Pls come and visit, surely a very nice place including the personnel.
Jack Ortiz I agree 👌✨🎼
Не магазин, а клад какой то. Мечта аудиофила. Столько роскошной аппаратуры и аккустических систем.👍
Wow! What a Great Channel! This is more than a Store. This is a Museum. I Love this video. Thank you for the Tour.
(My Very First System in 1979 was composed of: Marantz 1090 Amplifier, Marantz SD 1000 2-Speed Cassette Deck, TAYA Turntable, a Pair of SOMA 10 Speakers, a Pair of Super Tweeter from Radio Shack, a SONY Tuner). Life was Great!
Joseph Dubois 1 You're very welcome!
Thank you for keeping our hobby alive! 🙏🏻👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Audio was and is still my Passion. Our hobby is unique and I Thank God for it. Now, I live in Toronto for work since 1987. However, prior to that time, when I was living in Ottawa, I used to attend Audio Seminars given by McIntosh Officials. I was very deep into Audio and Sound just for hobby sake. You are Great! Thanks once again.
Joseph Dubois 1 I will be moving to Seattle next month, I am looking forward to filming the audio shops for my channel there! 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Great! Thanks for the update. I just subscribed to your Channel. Therefore, I will be informed about your videos when you post them. I Greatly Appreciate Our Communication on CZcams. God Bless You and Your Business in Seattle.
Joseph Dubois 1 Thank you! Running my marketing company BallenBrands.com out of Seattle, and my CZcams channel, will be a privilege! 🙏🏻🎼🥂✨
I saw that the amp part of the Sansui G33000 wasn't for sale that was the all time king ! Even though it was 2 seperate parts that Sansui sound is hard to beat !
Tee-Jay The Stereo-Bargain-File agreed! 😊👌🎼✨
Love these kind of stores. Brings back many memories for me hunting for used quality Hi fi gear in the UK.
amazing stuff need to check out this store!
Candy Store. Love to have this store in my home town.
Great virtual tour!
Wow!! What a great store!! I could spend days in this store, looking and listening.
Such an awesome store!
That is my kind of shop !!! Amazing!!!
wonderful high end equipment ..... hifi heaven
I would love to visit. Awesome!
the old stuffs are like a rock solid.im using my old philips amp and work like a trein.nice video thank you for sharing
Love that store! Thanks for sharing!
scottyo64 did you go?? Did you tell Bobby I sent ya? I had to edit the video & repost it, lol 😂...Thanks for watching this again Scotty!
This was such a joy to watch! :-) (rockin' a 20 year old Jeff Rowland Model 2 here, first owner, vintage meanwhile, but still sounding as fresh and refined as ever :-))
Dennis Stempher Nice! Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
I hope you can come to visit my shop, there are a lot of audiophile audio equipment
I am looking forward to your coming

I’ve done business with them. Great place for vintage items and service. They fixed my Marantz 2270 receiver and Marantz 5220 cassette deck. Excellent work, great communication. Give them a try. You won’t be sorry.
They hopefully will reopen soon! 👍🎼✨
Very very nice collection thanks
Beautiful , big like
They rehabbed my Sony cassette deck. Currently have my Pioneer PL-630 turntable.
Finally ! Thank you for making this video, I've been looking for a vintage stereo store with a repair shop and with you vouching for there work even better ! I need my 1961 fisher stratakit receiver looked at. Thank you again😎👍
mario zermeno If you are local, they will hook you up! 😊👌🎼✨
Thank you for the walk through...brings back great memories!
You bet Ken!! 👌🎼✨
I want a store JUST LIKE THIS!
loved those sumo pre amps
Wow, what a trip down memory lane ! Caught a glimpse of a Sansui A-80, a 65 watt integrated amp I once bought back in 81. Got a solid 20 plus years out of it before the dials started becoming loose. Regret throwing it out when only minor repairs would have breathed new life into it. Thanks for the tour !
😉👌🎼✨
This seems like a super awesome store! I'd kinda wish that they would have more tape decks though.
awesome. thanks
Loved the tour! Thanks much!
NYC had a few vintage audio locations. Sadly, most if not all the better shops have gradually disappeared. Good to see there is still such a place doing well!👍
Jamie Smith Thank you Jamie! 🙏🏻🎼✨
I wish there was a shop like that in new england. I luv my sansui au-717 integrated amp.
Beautiful place
Thank you for this video. It's been great fun.
I cannot believe the amount of gear stuffed into this shop. It boggles the mind.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏻🎼✨
Wow, there are some very interesting and expensive equipments in the Location from marantz and denon... the best amplifiers of the world
Thanks for the tour , I have a very generous friend too that collects gear & vintage Mercedes Cars . He’s always on the hunt because he knows the history of the companies . Thanks again
Bep Boplives awesome! Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
No probs
Loved the tour and I'm going to Vegas in a couple weeks. Yahoo, going to stop in based on this video, thanks.
Craig Hollabaugh Tell them Paul sent you from CZcams 😊👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 Will do, I'm calling them tomorrow, we're driving out from Colorado and I have some vintage gear in need of some love and new home. Thanks again.
Craig Hollabaugh yes the stuff for sale is consignment by customers. But he only deals with locals because they are not big enough to handle a larger market. He makes his money on the audio repair side. 👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838 ok, thanks for the info.
I am not into gambling or slot machines , would love to go to Vegas check out this heavenly hi fi audio all day .. of course I would be going home with some gems
Nice video
Pero qué tanta calidad tiene la tienda. ¡ Fabuloso video!
I love my old stuff. Vintage stuff is the best. I even have an original new Teac/Tascam reel to reel deck with the noise reduction and Dolby units. Still in boxes.
Dennis Dickey Very nice Dennis! 👌🎼✨
Amazing.
🤗 GREAT FUN PAUL…taking the tour reminding me when I did the same thing here and I had a great setup 🤯of MB QUARTS ..🤗in my work van with SOUND STREAM SUBS 😍😍😍
I started off the same way too. 😉👍🎼🏆✨
@@vpconcepts9838 😎 The MB quartz were a component system ,4 AMPS AND 4 subs rear speakers Sony and all wired by me with monster cable wiring 😉 Just to fill in a little detail
I would buy the old Marantz amps, tuners, and receivers for the looks alone.
I could spend hours in that place!!!
I love seeing all the Equalisers! Now to find a real RTA
There's a guy in Windsor, Ontario that has a similar vintage audio/video store. He even has a small library in a back room full of old owners manuals. I bought an old Panasonic RE-8840 Quadraphonic 8-track with weird looking sonar scopes for panning the surround speakers.😎
Troy Kirchhoefel sweet! 👌🎼✨
The Teac reel to reel looks like one I had back in the 70's . It had 2 spk,s in the sides a 8 track player and played both sides of the reel to reel tape . And I miss it a lot someone stole my set up before 1980 .
nice museum
Place is nuts, wish we had something like that in Metro Detroit
That Marantz by the RtoR is beautiful
A lot of classic stuff
wooooooow congratulations tanks from colima mexico ,nato friends
Nice Sir I love your collection
Ram Sharma I wish it mine! It's a great store 👌🎼✨
New sub here. Love it. There’s a local vintage shop near my home. Absolutely love it. Probably visit 2 times per week!
Jon's Record Rack Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
omg if i ever go to this store.it will become a problem quickly.cuz i could spend an absurd amount of money fast.
I went to school with Bobby getting our EE degree. Amazing after all these years he is still in business. Visited that store > 25 years ago before I moved away from Vegas. The place looks exactly the same as before. This brings back so much memory. Thank you for posting this. Hopefully store will open again soon.
Yup Yup! That's awesome! He has been closed since COVID. Looking forward to the shop opening back up! 👌🎼✨
I would geek right out! I love old school audio. Mcintosh, carver, marantz, Nad, and iv herd Pioneers elite sounds pretty nice. Either way a room full of big speakers makes me smile.
Agreed! 👊🎼✨
Oh my gosh at 12:04 you start panning but didn’t mention that yuuuuge Woods’s on the top shelf. Love the video. If I go back to Vegas it will be just to visit this store.
allpaulsfault SD6 to much to take in! LOL! 👌🎼✨
O design vintage é foda sempre surpreende ,dá vontade de ter todos só pra admirar as caixas acústicas são maravilhosas de ver e ouvir.
Reminds me of Pacific Stereo that was in Berkeley Ca
More like Genesis Audio or Rogersound Labs.
i must go to this place
Awsome stuff
Makkaka Kugelsnibb Thanks! 👌🎼✨
That Plinius integrated is a nice sounding New Zealand Amp 🇳🇿
I am going to send my receiver to these professionals.
Tracci Quartermaine if your are local sure! But they don't service out of state 👌✨🎼
@@vpconcepts9838 Bummer, I am in Philadelphia, Pa, I'll just recap the receiver myself this summer.
Tracci Quartermaine I cant find anyone to fix my gear in Dayton Ohio
I always like the old carvers.
Got 3 silver 7 M4.0t 's..
Those Legacy amps were made by Coda in the mid 90s. They were called the Legacy Audio Ultra Mono Bloc Amps at 9:05
that is great
Omg heaven on earth
Pioneer Elite. NAD. McIntosh. Many great stuff. Hopefully Some good tube map stuff...super reliable.
I’ll take that big carver amp too
I'll take that reel to reel
I appreciated the tour! Reminds me of a tour of a chocolate factory.
John Hanselman Thanks John! 🤣👌🎼✨
the peak behind the curtain was cool ! the engine room so to speak ! i wonder if thats how every store looked like on radio row in downtown manhattan circa 1960s just before the towers came along ? thx 4 the tour
brewcrew Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
I like that store
I just paid off my capital one. I'm not sure if I won't use it again if I'm front of these magnificent vintage audio gears!
great content man
myplaguesify Thanks! Can't wait till this lockdown passes, so I can get back to making more! 👍🎼✨
I have a Harmon Kardon tuner/Amp from about 1992 or 1993 (ish).......
Ah now I know why a new $3,000 amp I took to a repairer in my country came back with bad scratches on the side. They stack them on their side in the repair shop. They weren’t made to be stacked on their side. The feet are on the base. I hope they have a soft material lining their shelves.
LAZY DOG of course! No scratches on any of my repairs lol! 😊👍🎼✨
nice
That Plinius is a rare unit
So much ear candy
Wow
Hidden treasures bring back the old days. How many music still play their vintage audio equipment 2020 ? I am still enjoy my vintage equipments built in 1975s. They were built and still able to repair easily. Hopefully they still able to get spare parts. Japanese built hifi are repairable in modular and discrete form. They are still capable of producing good quality sound. Which is good for cutting electronics scraps.
Raymond Chew Absolutely Raymond! 👌🎼✨
Your a lucky guy to have such a place near you. I bet those guys do great work too. Next time zoom in on the prices so we get an idea . Thanks
mydogmax1969 Prices not listed! Just a code on those little orange tags. I've bugged them for years to change that 🤣🤣🤣👌🎼✨
@@vpconcepts9838
Thanks. My eyes got big when I saw the lovely Nak Ca-7. I've tried the Ca-5 but couldn't stand not having tone controls. I saw my old Teac A-6300 reel to reel that was playing too along with some of my high end Pioneer Elite gear. I just can't afford your McIntosh stuff or I would certainly have that. Have always enjoyed my Pioneer gear. Thanks
mydogmax1969 Nice! & thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
I really like this place, there are very beautiful objects, it's a bit like Ali Baba's cave, I could spend hours in a place like this and listen all with a coffee 😉👌 the life is simple with the hifi man héhé
NiCoaStyle Hi-Fi Man I agree! 👌🎼✨
I would like this video to have most views of all related to HiFi. This video shows in 20 minutes in most pragmatic manner to future generations the vast and diverse world of hifi especially from the 80ies and 90ies. This video is for the youngsters an important step to access our knowledge and to be welcomed in the League of the Elite !!!
The Vintage Hifi ambassador Agreed! Thanks so much for watching! 👌🎼✨
HEAVEN
I wish they would open a location in the Palm Springs area. I'm constantly removing vintage pieces from old homes.
Im always looking to buy and Palm Springs is close enough to me. Feel free to contact me if you're gettin rid of anything or find something that you don't want. Thanks so much! - Wesley wesleyburkart@gmail.com
Turntable at 12:39 is Sota Star Sapphire, made in Wisconsin. (I make custom isolation feet) ... your Japan video popped up in my feed.
Bill Owen My friend ended up buying that Sota a week later. Thanks for watching! 👌🎼✨
If i would be there, i really wouldn't know what i should choose?
So nice things...
Heaven!
Wow like heaven, I would not mind to work for this shop unpaid.....
I'm facing a gorgeous 1972-vintage Pioneer SX-828 receiver on eBay for $330 USD ("works great"), all lights work, panel, tuning needle light, etc. Immaculate. One owner, kept in a cabinet for 30+ years. Only 1 slight chip on back top corner of wooden side panel, that's it. Only problem is: it's 1972-vintage. That means electrolytic caps are done (despite it "working great" - doubtless all caps are way out of spec/tolerance)... & who knows how many transistors, diodes and power resistors are soon to follow. The SX-828 also has a tragic design flaw somewhere in the power supply (never corrected...no "updated" or revision models): a resistor in the regulator circuit is prone to frying and burning the PCB. Always lusted after this unit since I was a 13 year old kid...now here it is, I can easily buy it, and I'm like, "no way...don't need the heartache." I don't want it just as a museum piece, collecting dust.
Trev0r98 as long as you have a service center near you to bench test it & able to do repairs in the future, I say go for it if it makes you happy. That's how I do my shopping 👌🎼✨
If you get a chance to Minneapolis... go to Audio Perfection. I have lived from East to West Coast... Audio Perfection has some serious equipment.
I'm close to Minneapolis... Will go there when things open up. Thanks!
fort knox of stereo my god they got the hookup for real i hit the lotto im just buying the whole store im happy now lol my lifetime supply of stereo gear!!
roger church Best kept secret in Las Vegas! 👍🎼✨
Been here about 4 years ago.
Bobbi doesn't want to be on film, let's film him...
Good lord! Where or how do you keep that place packed with vintage gear? Man I would be in heaven in that place
Doug G dream store to visit here in Las Vegas for sure 👌🎼✨
