I was visiting Rochester from out of town and the Hi Fi Lounge was recommended to me as a great place to look for a turntable. The place had so many great records and components! Mark was very helpful in helping me find a record player that fit my needs (first time buying one in over 30 years) and my budget. He even put a brand-new stylus on it to assure I had the best possible experience. Once I got it back home, I had questions on how to operate it and called the store. Mark was very patient, kind and compassionate in assisting me. I’ve now got the turntable connected to my home system and couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Hi Fi Lounge to anyone who needs a component or a cool record or three.

I recently brought in my original Krell KSA 100 amp for a check up to look at bias, dc offset, etc., and to see if anything needed replacement internally. Service was fast and professional. The amp came back sounding better than the day it was new! And his tech was honest. No parts needed replacement, only minor Bias adjustments and such. Those “minor” adjustments made a world of difference. It’s getting harder to find competent technicians to work on truly high-end vintage equipment, but I’ve found a diamond in the rough. Check out Mark’s place for vinyl, CDs, used and...
