Still Playing Vinyl (Records)?
Note:We have moved to a small, shared space and are open only on Saturday from 12 Noon to 3 p.m.
While we are now selling a lot of our higher end items on line our turntable business remains primarly local. We will try to maintain a stock of used turntables, as well as new cartridges and replacement styli in our shop. The website will be updated at least once a week on Friday at the end of the work day to reflect what turntables will be available that weekend.
At the Sound Well we cater to the listener that still appreciates
a good vinyl record!
We sell a full line of new cartridges and styli from the following
manufacturers: Audio Technica, Grado, Ortofon, Shure
and Stanton. We stock only the factory originals - no inferior
generics!
We would highly prefer when you are buying a stylus (needle)
or cartridge from us that you bring us the entire turntable. If you can't bring the turntable at the very least bring the removeable headshell. We can then make sure that we are selling you the right cartridge or stylus. Delicate items such as styli and cartridges
are too fragile to take returns or exchanges on.
In our new shop we are not set-up to test your turntable on the spot but can at least look for obvious signs of life in your machine. If we feel your turntable is broken in a way that's not practical to fix we can try to let you know that before selling you a non-returnable part!
Another
good reason to bring the entire turntable is that many needles
have been discontinued and the entire cartridge may need to be
replaced. Although this does not cost significantly more than
replacing just the stylus, the installation can be a little trickier.
Again, we're happy to do it for you, almost always for just the
price of the parts. Simple installation can usually be done same day.
We also sell a wide selection of serviced and guaranteed used turntables.
Their prices start around $120 including a new cartridge or stylus.
We stock an assortment of other new phono accessories such as
belts, headshells, and phono preamps.
All turntables (except B&O's) come with a new cartridge
or at least a new stylus included in the price listed. They all
come with dustcovers - unless specifically listed otherwise.
