The food is absolutely incredible. Even though the menu is packed with fresh, healthy options, the portions are generous and everything is so good that self-control becomes a real challenge. Whether you're vegan, vegetarian, a dedicated carnivore, a health nut, or just someone who loves great food, there's something here for you. The atmosphere is equally impressive. The space has a laid-back vibe with eclectic decor, friendly staff, and the kind of energy that makes you want to hang out for a while. They also serve beer and carry Maine Root sodas, which was a huge bonus. Great food, great people, great prices, and huge portions. HiFi Burritos has officially earned a spot on my regular rotation.

I recently had a fantastic experience at Blink Hi End with Tim and Veronica…read more I was looking for a speaker upgrade and heard amazing things about Kroma speakers from Spain. An audio buddy from the UK heard Kroma speakers at hifi show in the UK and he said the sound was mind blowing. His 2 friends who were with him thought the same and the hifi show reports of this system raved about it. After researching the brand I decided to call Blink. I spoke to Tim and he discussed the various Kroma models and which models might be a good fit for me. He asked me about my room size, my equipment and my tastes in music. Although I live in California I was intrigued enough to make a listening appointment at Blink and fly across the country to hear these Kroma speakers. When I arrived at Blink a few weeks later, I first listened to the Fink Team Kim speaker which I own at home to get a baseline. The Kim's are a fantastic speaker and an amazing value. We then switched to the Kroma Macbeth and within about 30 seconds I felt I had found my dream speaker. It was significantly better than the Kim's which surprised me as the Kim's are very musical and engaging in their own right. We then listened to the Kroma Jovita which were fantastic as well but I decided to go with the Macbeth as I thought they would be a better fit for my room at home. I bought the Macbeth and Tim shipped them out on a pallet the next day. I received them a few days later and to say I'm thrilled with the Macbeth's performance in my room is an understatement. As I write this I'm listening to Nina Simone and it feels like she's in my room. The Kroma speakers have a level of realism and an organic and natural quality which is off the charts. Most important though it's their musicality and engagement factor which is unprecedented in my experience in 35 years in the audio hobby. I think it's due to the Kroma's cabinet made of Krion ( an inert material like Corian), their superb AMT ( similar to a ribbon ) tweeter made by Mundorf and the fabulous, low distortion Purifi drivers and of course the crossover design. Overall, the experience at Blink Hi End could not have been better. Tim and Veronica were both friendly, no pressure and they really knew their stuff. I'm so glad I made the trip from California to hear the amazing Kroma speakers.

I'm not an audiophile, but a friend of mine who is a DJ chastised me for living among cavemen because I had a Bose soundbar. These 2 have single handedly changed my life. They came into my home, looked at everything from spacing and furniture placement, potential obstructions, building materials and size and listened to the Bang and Olufsen speaker I had previously bought and showed me truth where previously I did not understand it to exist. They walked me through every aspect and took into account what I listened to and the form and function I was looking for. They installed my system yesterday and I haven't been able to leave the house since. I don't care what city, state or country I move to, they will have a customer for as long as air passes through my lungs. This place is where you need to be if you care about feeling music or watching film in your soul rather than thinking of it as an ancillary measure. I can't wait to give them more business. I will speak to my love for this company and proselytize about this place for the remainder of my natural life or until my mind is placed in robot encasement haha. Effusive praise is not capable of capturing my level of appreciation for the work done by the Blink team!!!

Hands down the most grumpy, arrogant, and unpleasant customer service experience I've ever had…read more I contacted Audio Proz to inquire about repairing a vintage turntable. I was instructed to submit a contact form with photos and told the owner would call me back. He did return my call--but instead of asking a single clarifying question or listening to what I actually needed, he launched into a ten-minute tirade about how vintage 1950s record players "aren't worth fixing," how everyone else does repairs wrong, and how he's the only competent person because he's been doing this for 50 years... while simultaneously insisting he doesn't want to do the work, doesn't have space, doesn't have time, and doesn't think these units should be repaired at all. At no point did he actually listen to what I was calling about. When I tried to politely redirect the conversation and ask a very simple question--can you help me or not, and what would you like me to do next?--he repeatedly talked over me, wouldn't let me finish a sentence, and then bizarrely accused me of talking over him, saying "I don't let people talk over me," despite the fact that he was the one ranting nonstop. I attempted to explain that I was committed to preserving the furniture and was open to swapping audio components if that made more sense. He wouldn't let me speak long enough to hear that, and instead launched into yet another lecture about how people wrongly think modern equipment is better--completely missing the point. By the end of the call, it was clear he had no interest in helping and no respect for the person on the other end of the phone. Despite limited options for audio repair, I simply could not imagine giving this man my money. He may be knowledgeable and overwhelmingly busy, but customer service is absolutely not his strong suit. If that's the case, he should seriously consider hiring someone else to handle inquiries and stick to working alone with the equipment--because as a customer-facing experience, this was truly awful.

He thought it best to send someone to my house to look at the layout, and we agreed we would do it Saturday subject to the person's schedule. He told me he would get back to me later that day.

Well, here it is, Monday, and I am still awaiting the call. Not used to this type of poor service. Perhaps he sensed that my price point was not high end enough for them, although I never mentioned a budget and was and am prepared to pay quite a bit to get a great system. It is the simplest thing in business to communicate. They lost a good sale by dropping the ball.
