Ring Audio

Great service and advice. May have to visit as it was hard to get someone on the phone. Although this is a small store with minimal staff.

I was looking for a needle for my 1980s turntable. They had exactly what I was looking for and gave me some pointers for installing it. Looks like they have a large inventory of parts and knowledgable staff. I’ll be back.

Was about to shell out for a new pair of Sennheiser headphones when I found this place online. Nick took a look and fixed what was a very common problem with headphones. The great reviews don’t lie. This place is amazing.

— incredibly knowledgeable and helpful staff! nick and his dad (missed his name… oops) really know their stuff when it comes to turntables, pre-​amps, receivers, and speakers.
— not only are they a repair shop, they also have on-​site a large quantity and quality of 2^nd hand equipment ranging from high end to starter.
— brought in our onkyo turntable to get re-​wired and have the belts serviced and are really happy with the results.
— just be mindful of their hours of operations.

About a month ago while walking back to my apartment, the left cup of my two-​month-​old Sennheiser PX-​100 II headphones that I received as a Jewish holiday gift ceased all ability to emit sound.
Through some careful detective skills (also known as «Googling»), I managed to find a recommendation for what was quite possibly the only audio repair shop in the Downtown core that fixed headphones, which I hoped was at a decent price.
Enter Ring Audio: Run by the (presumably) father and son team of Ted and Nick Syperek, Ring is a hidden gem for audiophiles looking to buy vintage record players, pre-​amps and other retro-by-today’s-standards gear or repair virtually any audio equipment. Seriously. If you’re looking to purchase a sturdy, aesthetically pleasing cassette deck from the 80s, check these guys out.
So after relinquishing my headphones to Nick, who cut and re-​wired the plug of my headphones for an astonishing $ 30 bucks where it would’ve cost me at least $ 120+ to send them off to Sennheiser (I lost my receipt, thus forfeiting any hope of warranty), I biked off into the warm Summer sunset with the sounds of Wilson Pickett blaring in my ears, happy that I could finally toss the dingy iPod earbuds I had been using for the past month to the deep recesses of my backpack.
