Sweet Spot Audio & Records

A diamond. This is a great vinyl store for people who love music. Great selection (which seems to get added to daily) and a cool place to relax and talk about music. They have a vinyl listening station set up so you can listen to the vinyl before you purchase it. New, vintage and collectible. This place seems to have it all. They even have a pretty big selection of cassettes. While you’re there, check out the back where they have some really nice audio equipment.

I love this place. Old school family owned business. Great vintage vinyl and new releases as well. There’s always the thrill of the hunt at this store. Very comfortable atmosphere and couldn’t ask for nicer owners. Definitely check this place out also for new and vintage audio gear… they also have a listening station so you can play before you pay.

I started collecting vinyl records about a year ago. Most of my collection has been acquired through resale and antique shops where I’ve come across some real gems, but I really had to hunt to find what I was looking for. Someone mentioned the Sweet Spot to me a couple of months ago and now I make it a point to drop by every couple of weeks. The selection is quite good and ranges from classical, jazz, standards to modern. Prices for used titles are usually $ 5 to $ 8. New stuff is a bit more expensive. The owners are very nice and will assist in any way they can. Highly recommended.

Great shop for vinyl! The owners are extremely knowledgable and very courteous. They will bend over backwards to help you find what you’re looking for and have such a deep appreciation for the music they share. The selection is nice, I’ve found some great albums for a steal at Sweet Spot. The new vinyl can be pricey but you’re supporting a local business. Overall I always enjoy my trips here!

After reading Jack S.‘s review I have to concur. The place is missing the punch and I believe adapting in a wrong way. They are now over loading on vinyl trying to adapt to their obviously escalating problem; funds. I understand a collection can grow; but are you a pawn shop or what? This place is loosing its dwindling identity that it had in the beginning. I know that getting the shoes is difficult because they are a special brand and circumstance in all honesty they need to stand passionate about that brand. They need to stay passionate about the things no one else sells. They do need to do more with less (space) but they need to do it with out the hobby-​like appeal. GET RID OF THE CAR MODELS lol. You can buy those else where can you not? Keep what you can not get anywhere else, PLAY MUSIC LIVE create ENERGY. PLAY music people feel energetic too with out going crazy. These owners need to go to Pinkberry someday and just soak up that vibe. I know and understand what these guys are trying to do but if you want a coffee shop feel, you’re going to get the sales report of a library. These guys are treading in interesting waters and need to consider the reviews if they can get them. I feel that these guys were on to something that might fade away. I would give this a 5 for fan-​dom; I want this place to succeed and I WANT people to go there and buy what they sell, but they need to wake up if they want this to succeed. I pray they are not taking bad advice from their staff and they consider the opinions of consumers even more so.

Sadly there is often an inverse reputation between quality and marketing in the audio business. The odds are if you’re a highly visible brand, your sound quality is going to suffer. The good news is local independent dealers can generally provide better products at comparable prices or less than a mainstream options. Contrary to popular perception, you don’t need to spend a fortune to get a great musical experience at home.
If you want incredibly good audio at reasonable prices, Sweet Spot Audio and More is a great resource for resource for some of the best speakers, turntables, and amplifiers you’ll never find in a big box retailer. They are a Grado (headphones), Wharfdale (speakers), Dali (speakers), Rega (turntable), Cambridge Audio (amplifiers), and Naim (amplifiers) dealer, and one of the few places you can hear a nice varied range of equipment in person, which is essential.
The store is however not without problems. «The More» portion of Sweet Spot Audio and More often overshadows the audio, so you have a huge selection of Tommy Bahama shirts, race car models, miscellaneous memorabilia, cigars, and other hotrod lifestyle products. This isn’t bad in itself, but the staff, while friendly and helpful, can’t truly specialize in any of it, so I would definitely suggest doing your homework before listening.
If Unilocal had a half star system this would easily warrant a 3.5 star review.
