This place is great. My wife and I were totally overwhelmed trying to pick out a record player on the internet. Anthony (Tony?) walked us through the turntables and speakers within our budget. I knew we made the right choice coming to Fred's once we got home and put a record on. I would recommend Fred's to anyone. Great experience all around.

I have known these folks since 1992. Always the best in the Hi Fi business! Bought most all of my gear from Fred's. High quality components such as Dahlquist, Paradigm, Hafler and Rotel that I've owned and been very satisfied with. All of my gear still operates like the day I first hooked it up. The sales staff is very knowledgeable and know their stuff! I recently purchased a Rel 7 sub. What a difference this has made with my system! Thank you Fred's sound of music! John A.

My Kenwood KD500 was in need of some maintenance. It's an older 1979 model, but still in great condition. Tom was extremely helpful, friendly and informative. He helped me choose a new cartridge that would pair well with the Grace 840 tonearm and the type of music I enjoy experiencing-- we decided on the Sumiko Olympia. Tom said it would be ready by afternoon (I dropped it of at 1030). Tom then performed the cart install and full setup.

He had it setup and ready to go within an hour and a half. Got it home and hooked up. The turntable sounds figgin awesome! Glad it's back up and running. The Rega is going back into the closet.

Ok I am going to gush during this review! I went into this place and first and foremost they have so much amazing stuff in this store I was blown away. Next I went in to try and repair an old drop in record player that belonged in a museum and they took one look and said sorry don't have any parts to that, however, they were intrigued and still wanted to look. Joe stood up and said give me 30 minutes.

I was ecstatic because he was willing to give it a shot! He worked quickly and with precision, it was a thing of beauty! Now after 30 minutes he handed it back to me and said he can't test it but it should work. Took it home re-installed it and voila! a working record player in this awesome cabinet! These guys are legit and have mad Audio Video skills!

I purchased a home theater system using Paradigm Personas from Fred's. I love the whole experience nearly as much as my system. I worked with Tony, whom I can't recommend more, however, all the staff are top shelf. He built me an amazing sounding system, getting every dollar of value possible from my budget. I am very pleased with what I purchased, thank you!

I picked up a Yamaha CR-640 from Fred's today, and after getting it home, hooking it up, and rocking out to Steely Dan and Yes, I am reflecting on a truly wonderful experience. Thomas N. really treated me well and was a blast to deal with. Great guy and knows his stuff. Give that man a raise! Thanks again to everyone at Fred's.

Extremely helpful - even a novice like myself got expert help and advice. I put off going here for a long time because I thought it was just for audiophiles. Even though they have super high end stuff, they often have very reasonably priced used equipment. It's amazing to see the Nice Stuff too. Super nice staff. Many thanks!
