Great high-end audiophile shop (though my purchase wasn't anything near the extremes that "high…read moreend" can go to). The sales manager, Mike Deutsch, made my experience demo-ing and eventually buying loudspeakers (O Audio's Frigg 02) what it should be: a pleasure. Mike didn't push against my stated preference for other components that were only available elsewhere, offered an attractive deal, made good on all promises and balanced a reasonable level of salesmanship with knowing when not to push. He contributed valuably to my decision-making with his personality, colorful stories, useful info and, I believe, honesty. Oh... and he replied to my follow-up texts quickly and at odd hours, and in a spirit of service. All of that made me feel he deserved a review - something I don't do often. I've shopped at various high-end audio showrooms in Manhattan and other cities over the years, and know from disappointing experiences that it's more than occasionally a dicey business. HiFi Loft uniquely hit all the high notes. (Unusual venue, by the way: first floor of a brick townhouse on a mostly residential block.)

Great selection, and they have a nice collection of record players as well. Quite possibly the…read moreworst customer service haha. Don't expect the friendly, welcoming vibe you might get at another record shop. It's the only one on this side of town so it's convenient.

My first purchase from Stereo Exchange showed me the benchmark in New York high-end audio dealer…read moresupport. I've been in the audio hobby for over 27 years, so I've learned the difference between a team that actually knows their stuff and one that's just moving boxes. I am the proud new owner of Certified Authentic Pre-Owned Wilson Sabrinas in Obsidian Black. Honestly, taking the leap on Wilsons wasn't really on my radar until a credible, certified pair popped up at a reputable regional dealer. That sense of local security and support is the only reason I felt comfortable taking my system to the next level. Right from the first message, the team was straight-up with me. They walked me through exactly what Wilson's Certified Authentic program entails, the Certification work done on the speakers, the warranty, and the realistic logistics. No hard sell, no runaround, and no question left unanswered. That's the kind of foresight you get from decades of real experience. What really set this apart was the installation. Their Certified installer Mike came out to do the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure (WASP). The guy is a total pro - super patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and just a great person to work with. He added a ton of value to the whole experience. My space is far from a showroom. It's a tight studio apartment, with a corner-loaded left channel, a workstation that isn't moving anywhere; essentially a "lab in motion" for my audio hobby. Mike didn't blink. He worked around the real-world constraints and went through the WASP methodically. Everything was done ear-first and with serious precision. Watching him dial it in showed me exactly why Wilson insists on this setup process; it's not just marketing fluff, it's real substance. The Sabrinas sound phenomenal, and they absolutely live up to their reputation. The speakers and set-up rival my former reference Levinson and Magnepan system. Once you graduate into equipment that has serious value, it's 100% about trust. You have to trust the product, the transaction, and the follow-through. Stereo Exchange nailed all three. If you're serious about bringing your experience to the next level, Stereo Exchange is the place.

My coworker dumped the task of getting a house wired up for a 3-day hybrid meeting on me the week…read morebefore a 9am Monday morning start -- which meant a Sunday setup with hardly any notice. I reached out to a few places, but Canal Sound & Light were the only ones who could do it. That was my lucky break. Saturday before the event, the venue calls to say their HVAC system is busted and they need to move us to a different location down the street. Canal Sound & Light were awesome throughout. Even though I'd never organized a meeting like this, they identified what we needed, gave us a reasonable quote for it, made themselves available for setup and teardown before/after the event, and even adjusted the equipment rental and pricing on the fly when they realized we didn't need a TV because the new venue had one in place already. Everyone was super nice, clearly knew what they were doing, and yet never talked down to me. And the sound was so good, the remote participants could hear us better than we could hear each other in the room. @_@ The event was August 2022, but I realized I never wrote a review. They totally deserve 5 stars. I hope they never go out of business.

Placed an online order for an item. Never received a confirmation email. Strike 1…read more A week goes by and my credit card authorization hasn't turned into a charge and still no email so i call. Was told that the product just arrived at the warehouse and would be shipped out that day. Strike 2 -- dont show an item as in stock if you didn't already have it in stock. Two days later, still no email or tracking info, so I have to call again. Strike 3. This time was told by a different guy that my order was refunded because it was out of stock. But I check online and the product is showing as in stock still with a price 2x what I paid (now in line with the rest of the online sphere's pricing) -- idk how many strikes to count for these events but it would be several. Why am I being lied to? Why have I had to reach out every time instead of proactive communication from the retailer? Why was my purchase price not honored like any good retailer would? On top of that, the guy I spoke to the second time offered to have the guy from call #1 contact me as he was the one running point on all this of this and of course I never received a call. Bunch of lying cowards at the fulfillment department of this company. Everything you dont want in a customer experience. Would never spend a dime supporting a business like this.

Though I imagine they be as thoroughly helpful as complete their website. Product descriptions always 100% accurate never misleading. Shipping ? Always on its way quickly. I like that they have a broad selection of brands, and those brand's products; more so than I think I'd have come across doing a self Google search. And then when finding something I'd like, another Google search shows they've got the best price... I'm Hooked !

Love this store. They have a ton of great audio equipment to demo and helpful staff members…read more Listening to a product on your own is worth 1,000 online reviews. I have purchased headphones, IEMs, and Dac/Amps from Audio46. Each time, I went in expecting to buy a specific product but after demoing and hearing the staff's recommendations I walked out with something I liked even better. That said, they do not try to upsell. For example, they suggested the ifi hip dac when I was purchasing a dac/amp for the first time, and the chord mojo 2 over the higher priced hugo 2, even though I was open to either.

Elliot was super busy that day and let us fully enjoyed what they have to offer which was just incredible systems.

They know their stuff and how to treat customers properly. Highly recommended.

((4.25 stars))…read more located in the Chinatown and Lower East Side convergence known as Dimes Square-- this cool repair shop is parked on Canal Street and is packed with all kinds of electronics from old vintage tvs to old A/V devices like stereos, amps, cameras, video cameras, etc. people come here to get their old or new devices repaired or troubleshot. i have not gotten anything repaired here, but there always seems to be a steady stream of people bring in stuff to be brought back to life. i mostly stop here because they put out a table or two of old (20+ years old or more) print magazines like Life, Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, and more. there's no rhyme or reason to the selection of magazines other than being old...picked up a few old magazines that caught my eye, over the last few weeks. spoke to one of the staff here who said that they just put of an assortment because they have a large stock of them. definitely a unique store and how many repair places do you actually see in neighborhoods these days? not many if at all. so if you are looking to revive some dead media device, i'd head here. for me, it's the old print magazines which is totally dead media. Oh, and it's cash only!
