What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

I brought my father’s old records to the listening room. Arijit set up a deck and we played them for an hour. I left with the deck.

They delivered the speakers to our flat in Behala, moved them three times until the bass sat right, and would not take tea until it did.
Mousumi G. · Kolkata
Bought two VG+ records by post. Both were exactly as graded, packed between boards, and arrived in five days.

Every record is cleaned and played end to end. We grade it Mint, Near Mint, VG+, VG or Good and note any skips or marks in the listing.

Exchange any record within 7 days if it does not match its grade. New sealed records can be exchanged unopened.

Do you repair turntables and amplifiers?

Yes. Bring it in for a free check. Most repairs take one to three weeks, and we give you a written estimate before we start.
