Love that it's all in new-shape. Lovely. You miss the two teenage boys walking behind you asking a million questions - and a few boxes on the floor with new goods just arrived - and two shelves with gear for repair sent in with paperwork under one leg.
As someone in their late 20s I can say that I truly hate this sentiment, that contemporary music is in some way worse. If you take the effort to keep track of new releases you will realise that amazing things are happening. Then again self proclaimed "audiophiles" do not necesarilly use music for enjoyment, but rather as a means of testing their equipment.
@@TsDxX i m59, and i love to listen to modern music on my equipment, yes my equipment is vintage, old Mac intosh tube mono amps, a Mac preamp, and jbl 4312 . I love how tecno, Drum and Bass, Dub reggae, House,Hip Hop, Reggae ton, and modern Rock sound . When your equipment sounds good, you know it ll sound great for every genre of music. Right now, Rosalía s Motomami is playing, soooo good!
This is the best store on earth. I want to go here and get a receiver and speakers. It was the coolest store I have ever laid my eyes on. Perfectly laid out and so neat and clean. I want to work there for free and learn.
Wow. Just seeing the first image of the store instantly took me back. I'd forgotten how awesome audiophile stores used to be and how a rack of receiver models looked. So cool.
This guy reminds me of a hifi dealer from New Jersey back in the seventies . his ads were very similar with the stimulant based verbal approach . " Crazy Eddie , his prices are INSANE "
WOLF here YES I saw my Hitachi SR-2004 and just had it delivered yesterday. My Hitachi SR-2004 is home with me now SOOOO Nice! My brothers and I will spend all day hooking it up. It's funny that you say you just remodeled the store when your store was already one of the best looking clean and well curated places I'd ever seen. I'm in my 60's so I remember well the vintage 1970's era audio stores. You nailed the 1970's mid range to upscale audio store look. You have luxury components on offer that still make me drool today like I did when I was a poor kid. I've had the honor of seeing the entire store, THANK YOU! Just Audio is refurbishing my Sansui G-9000 the final jewel in my vintage collection. Happy Holidays All!
@canislupus9200 I read your comments and I like to say that you have mentioned everything here the finest way!! I feel it because I am also over 60 years now, but I admit that i live far away from you in Asia.
@@janath9118 The best thing about the internet is it lets me have friends and neighbors all over the globe. Thank you for your kind words. I wish you nothing but the best!
@@LennyFlorentine Love love LOVE your videos... audio-porn at its finest!!! Back in 2015, I purchased a "restored" Marantz 2252(a) which despite looking stone cold mint, never quite sounded right. Being disabled I cant just carry it into my local repair shop, but frankly thats a good thing as it forces me to ship it to someone who knows exactly what they're working on. I do want to send it to you guys for repair, so who should I ask for specifically when I call the store?
We came to town from Pittsburgh for a basketball games at Delaware and Towson (Thursday and Saturday vs Charleston. My wife said, "what do you want to do today? (Friday) Off the Middle River we went! 😂 You guys had just got back from Florida Show and were unpacking, but you all took a moment to greet my wife and I. Kudos for your generosity! Gotta get my Denon receiver and Soundcraftsman A205 and Bang & Olufsen turntable and B & W speakers out!! Thx for what to do. C U again (with $ in hand) 😝
Everyone could feel how much effort you have put on the store and how much you care about those vintage gems. It is a alive piece of hifi history. Your store is really a museum of worlwide hifi gears, really wish to have a chance to visit the store! My greatest collection is Sansui G33000 amplifer.
What an awesome store! I and some buddies visited for a few hours this past Thursday. Tom , yea, I'm sure it was Tom, was welcoming and generous in letting us listen to various speakers and systems; answering questions and discusing the various aspects of the speakers we were listening to. Thanks for the great videos and information on both vintage and modern-day equipment.
@@MW-bi1pi Japanese silver age consumer-grade! Maybe we can have some Yamaha VS Pioneer arguments like the good old days, while the grownups go play music on Dynaco ST70s....

I've had the honor of seeing your entire store, THANK YOU! Just Audio is refurbishing my Sansui G-9000 the final jewel in my 10 receiver vintage audio collection. Happy Holidays All! I love those Pioneer HPM 100's!
@canislupus9200 Hello, do you also admire the Japanese speakers such as Pioneer HPM 100 and Sansui!? We think that the American and European speaker brands are the best for better sound quality.
@@janath9118 I generally like most speakers but I gravitate to those with strong punchy bass and clear treble - mid range. I love the deep throbbing beat of 1970's era disco that my Hiatchi, Sansui's and Pioneer's were born to play. When in the mood for classical music my Marantz 2330B is my go to. Weird thing is I love my Pioneer HPM-100's for classical music also. I've not heard a Sansui speaker so I can't comment. I have two Sansui receivers and would not part with either.
@@AUTISTICLYCAN Hi, I read your comment and I now understand your musical tastes. I just like to say that my musical taste is also close to yours. You have very good musical preferences!! I am a man of 62 years who specially love those 70's stereos, but unluckily I was unable to afford items like those beautiful Receivers which you mentioned and which this video showed. By this time they are rare to find in South Asia where I live. It is very nice to chat with you! Thanks for all your information!! I like to hear them. My Best Wishes!!!
A great work of art in the electronic world of audio perfection and love of the audio world to brighten the love of sound! Great to you guys to continue this wonderful display of audio engineering!
My first receiver was a Sherwood 7110. Loved the deep, aqua blue lighting. Only 20 watts, but it was a potent, 20 watts...thing kicked assss! Nice collection there!
It's like time-traveling back to the 1970s! Especially for me since I used to work at an audio store during that time. In fact, I used to pick up special order items from dealers such as Sansui...
I visited the store a few weeks ago and it’s even better in person. And I’m saying that even after dropping some serious money😂! Also the crew is so polite and professional!
Glad someone has a store for these vintage hi fis and helping get the great units into the hands of future generations to enjoy for a fraction of new hi fi. I was wondering why no one was opening a vintage hi fi and have been collecting since about 98-99 and love these vintage audio machines.
I have been listening to my late Fathers "Superscope R-350" for years. I have two set ups in my music room one vintage and one more modern. But there something about vintage stuff that really grabs me. I would love visit your store someday until then I'm going to checkout your online store. Thanks for the tour.
Wow! What a vast collection of audio hifi components!! I like some of these hifi equipments very much, specially the 70's and 80's models, and i wish i can buy them! Thank you for the video!
I miss 1970s hi fi stores. The one key item missing are different selections of receivers, each on "presumed" unopened boxes of that same receiver with a cheesie plastic sign hanging from the top box. Ohhhh, how I miss those days. Cal Stereo, Pacific Stereo. If I had a time machine, I would go back to the 1970s and head immediately to the closest Pacific Stereo. I know where I'm going to take my next vacation.
The last great stereo store in my area closed about 13 years ago, it was a Sound Advice store. I could literally spend hours in that store, looking at gear. They used to have 3 demo rooms, set up least expensive to most. The only place for stereo gear around here is Best Buy, and it’s slim Pickings in there. Stereo shops today can only survive in big metropolitan areas like Miami, NY, Chicago, etc.
@@jeffl915 the late 70s into the early 80s, for me was magic. I still have my pioneer ct f1250, my dual 708q, my marantz 2270, superscope td 28, my ess heil speakers and my rsl 3800. I did buy a lafayette t 4000 table as i still have my audio technica quadrophonic cart mounted for the s shaped tonearm. Looking for a quad receiver just to retry it out, good ole quad Still have some quad vinyl.
@@kevinfestner6126 I have one piece of Quad gear, it’s an older Pioneer that I found in my father-in-laws home, after he died. He used to have a 4 channel reel to reel deck, but that was promised to my daughter, as it had sentimental value to her. He was stationed in Japan back in the early 70’s, and bought all his gear in Japan. I had to pass on it because I just do not have the room to store all that gear. He had a beautiful pair of Sansui speakers, but they were huge, and heavy. I spent the last few years buying my dream gear, and I am happy with what I have.
Best system I’ve ever heard was a Marantz receiver into a pair of Advents, back in the 70s. I’ve heard a lot of great systems since then, but there was something about that system that really worked for me.
What a great store! Every stereophile's wet dream. I was a hi-fi store owner for twenty one years starting in 1974. I was a dealer of most of the products/brands here at one time or the other. I have sticker shock especially when looking at entry mid-level brand receivers like Marantz. Just cannot believe a Marantz 2230 sells for almost 2 grand! I believe retail was originally $349. Just crazy. Sad the state of the current audio equipment industry. Majority of people now don't appreciate good equipment and stores like this are keeping the dream alive. Nice job on the store and the videos!
Very cool store with crazy pricing to match. I guess if you don't care about value for the dollar and really want that vintage look this is the store for you. You'd need to be a little crazy to buy that Marantz receiver that's priced the same as that McIntosh integrated amplifier.
To the Best audio store on the East Coast !!!! Captain Sub, another terrific video guys. Every piece of stero equipment you've repaired for me works beautifully + that Pioneer AVR for my home theater is nothing less than OUTSTANDING. LOVE YOU GUYS, & THANK YOU, TMP FROM N.J.
Fantastic ! Reminds me of my youth in the mid to late 70's. Many a nerdy, pre GF summer's evening was spent walking around town and having my nose pressed up against plate glass windows .. As a young working class man I could only fantasise about owning the top of series stuff. I eventually has to settle for the entry level models. . I liked Pioneer stuff and Wharfdale speakers.. First proper hifi ( purchased on hire purchase one item at a time) consisted of PL12 turntable, SX450 Receiver , Wharfdale Glendales..
Very interesting and comprehensive. One point to note re. the vintage Luxman units - those made for the Japanese market had transformers with 100 volt primaries, rather than the 120 volt made for the north American market.
Loved that tour guys thank you.. a lot of that stuff brings back memories of when I was first getting into hifi. As a very general guide, if you want great hifi buy the British gear, if you want Japanese reliability go for the Luxman. But any of the high end technics/Pioneer etc will look and sound great ( yes am a fan of needles moving as well lol) There is a view held by many that CD players from the turn of the century and up to around 2015 are the ones to go for as then it was the prime medium to go for then, modern turntables are just the same as ones from the 80,s, that heavy one with the SME arm would look and sound great though. I could go on but what a great place to visit and enjoy the looks and sounds of the 80,s
Dude, that's a beautiful remodel job. Can't wait to visit. As a veteran (buck private) in the 70s stereo wars, may I make a suggestion for the future? Set aside a room and carpet the walls. The ceiling should be black with track lights, aimed ominously and dimmly down toward the racks of receivers. The most glorious models at the top, signifying 'this is out of your reach, private'. You may, however, touch the Technics in the middle. 😅
I was excited to see a pair of HPM-100 Clears! I had a pair of those... made in limited quantities for trade show use (I was in the business in the 70's-80's). Of all the equipment that has passed through my hands over the years, that's what I miss the most.
Honestly if you love vintage audio You'll love your Just Audio visit. If you love new 2023 audio that has a 1970's \ 1980's a retro look you will love your Just Audio visit. Finally if you want to go all in on 2023 high tech audio equipment Just Audio has that too. Me I love vintage 1970's silver faced audio so I get all my vintage 70's audio gear repaired and rejuvenated here at Just Audio. Funny fact I remember seeing and enjoying extreme quality audio I could never afford on display while in college. Today 50 years later, I'm an old Wolf who loves looking at and enjoying highest end Just Audio offerings thinking WOW I love it but could never afford it. Just like when I was a young pup!
Being in my late 60’s this was the gear we all had back in the day, going to wild house parties was a blast because everyone had something different and cool. Once you get into audio you’re hooked for life. I’m still buying gear. 😎
My dad had i Scott Audio Reciever, with Philips speakers (walnut) in the 80's/90's. Love the light/meters and the warm sound of this piece of art! Today everybody have a ugly Soundbar, with a mini-subwoofer. Creapy filtert sound, and not the good bass from giant audio speakers in the early days. Miss that time..
I think it would be nice to have a reprinted brochure next to each piece of equipment.... Perhaps hanging from a dog tag. You can find these old brochures still available online at like the vinyl engine. They list every feature that made each unit unique. It would be like having a salesperson that doesn't take lunch breaks.
