Audio Reproduction

This job is torturous. Well, not really, it’s great, but I have to go to places like this, where I want to buy everything but can’t afford anything. Everything in Audio Reproduction is stunning. The sign outside says they specialise in ‘vintage audio equipment’, and if that doesn’t drag you in I don’t know what will.
It’s not strictly true, however. Don’t get me wrong, they have plenty of vintage stuff, but I spoke with the owner who told me they specialise more in high-​end products, rather than exclusively vintage gear. They seemed to have a great collection of valve amps (you know what I’m talking about musos).
The shop floor was a tip, completely covered with amps, speakers, turntables. But that just added to the charm. They really know what they’re doing in this place, and you’re going to get a much better, more personal experience if you buy from them rather than a big chain. Ultra high-​end though.
