The Stereo Shop is a special place for high-end audio, having been in business since the 1950s. It is located in an old house converted into a series of showrooms, offering an old school vibe. The shop is absolutely packed with everything from affordable setups to jaw-dropping, cutting-edge gear, including beautiful new equipment and full McIntosh stacks. It is the place to go in Connecticut for high-end audio. The staff is incredibly trained, knowledgeable, and super nice, providing a refreshing change from typical big box stores. They are certified HiFi geeks with a passion for the business, and they are not pushy. Crucially, the same experts you meet in the store handle the expert installs themselves, teaching customers how everything works and ensuring perfect setup. A major highlight is the service department, featuring the best stereo technician in the state. With over 50 years of experience, he is an absolute expert, specifically for McIntosh components, and is a wealth of knowledge and HiFi history. His skill set is unparalleled, his work is incredibly reasonable, and his turnaround is fast. Customers highly recommend the shop for tuning and servicing equipment, from simple fixes to complex repairs on vintage pieces. It is old school vibe with new school skills, an awesome place with awesome ownership, staff, and gear. This is where you want to buy your HiFi equipment.
We brought 2 record players in that weren’t working properly and they fixed both in 15 minutes with no charge! Highly recommend!!! We will be coming back in the future to purchase our stereo equipment.

We brought our very old (early 70’s) turntable in for a new stylus, had a fantastic experience. - Rich is amazing ! He had to “customize” the cartridge (as they don’t make our model anymore) love this place !!-trying to think of an excuse to go back ;-)
