Audio Specialties — Attraction in Portland

I really like Doug there, I was born in Portland and he (Doug)does not argue about electronics! He just rifles through his electronics like there is no tomorrow,he is the houdini when I see him working back there on the electronics. I was gone for 9 years and I to find out that everybody like Hollywood,California is arguing about electronics. Been to Switzerland, France, Kingdom of Netherlands,UK,Central America,Mexico(16) times and all across Canada and they do not argue about electronics like Doug. I even bought this this laptop from a gal in Vegas,I kept repeating myself that I took vocational electronics in high school,I sold 2 others for her,diagnosed one bad in 35 minuets and she was rude? this never happens in foreign countries? I don't know how many times people have tried to sell me Beats headphones and I tell that I have Akai and Sennheiser and they say that don't know what I am...

This is one of those finely tucked hidden gems for HiFi aficionados.

The proprietor of this shop obviously does it for the love of good quality music (great jazz was playing when I came in) and the equipment that can reproduce it. Think wooden cabinets and 70's Pioneer amps and speakers. If you have an old but refurbishable component from the 70s, he may buy it at a fair price, and lovingly replace worn components to give it a new lease on life, destined for a new home that appreciates the golden era of solid-state HiFi.

Even if you just need a repair, give them a call before relegating to Goodwill or a trash bin.

One last note; the storefront itself is located on 122nd on the NW corner of the building, so don't get confused if you are looking and don't find it from the parking lot. Best to park on the S.side of the building and walk around...

Doug is the best! I got my Sansui 6060 back up and running with the fuses he keeps in stock. Cool retro receivers, amplifiers, and speakers on display. I need to bring my old Denon in and have it gone through too. This is the only place in Portland / Vancouver you should ever bring your home audio equipment for repair. I've been going here for years, and I always look forward to seeing the cool stuff he has to offer. Go in and check out the retro Macintosh amplifier! He'll plug it in if you want to give it a go. They don't make sound like these old systems do anymore. Old school or no school when it comes to audio for me! Cool store....
