Bring Back Analog — Local services in Grand Rapids

What an amazing store! I worked with Steve to find a solution for replacing an old turntable in a large 1960’s console unit. To complicate matters, the console is my daughter’s in Iowa! Steve found a great turntable to fit perfectly in the space! Also important, he explained how to connect it upon arrival! He packed it (yes, there’s a special way to do it!) and sent it for me. It worked out well! They now love physical media! Per my 33 year old SIL: “I’m fully vested now.

Go to Bring Back Analog. Even if you don’t want to buy, go for the experience! The experience is what keeps me going back. Steve is so knowledgeable and has so much cool stuff! I’m 65 and I lose 45 years every time I walk through the doors. Plus, the record album collection...

I don't write a ton of reviews, and if I do it, it's for a good reason. Bring Back Analog is amazing. Steve (the owner) is a geek in the best possible way.

Even if you're not looking to purchase, this place is worth checking out....

Don’t bother. The dude is full of hot air. I was in and ready to buy a Denon turntable. But he would rather talk shop with someone not even looking to buy. I hung around for 15 minutes, waiting for him to notice, but he just kept on yapping. Headed to the corner record shop, where I should’ve started.

I also stopped in 3 days prior and found the table I wanted and asked if he took trades, and told him I had a Kenwood (pic attached). He said he did. When I walked in with it he did take the time away from who he was chatting with to say: “I won’t...
