Reviews
"Q Audio is the best. There is no choice -- you need to have Dariusz service your equipment. He's worked on my NAD receiver and Technics turntable. You will be amazed at the depth and detail of his knowledge of Hi-Fi equipment -- it is remarkable. Dariusz is never condescending and will work on various projects as long as it makes sense to fix the machine. He will never over commit or promise what can't be delivered. Be patient if he is busy. He will be honest about when he can do the work; the wait is worth it. Dariusz is the guy you want fixing and problem-solving your amp, receiver, and turntable. Do not hesitate to purchase from Q Audio."
"Dariusz is extremely helpful. He is very knowledgeable and wants his customers to have good audio systems!"
"This place is awesome. We didn’t realize what time they closed and came in after closing, but the owner let us in. He gave fantastic guidance and we ended up getting a new record player and receiver here. Super nice, lovely place. Also the owner has a wonderful polish accent :)"
"This store is one in a million. Darius is one of the most trustworthy and well-informed owners I’ve ever met. He knows his products so well, stands behind his work, and never over-sells. Grateful that this place exists!"
"I have been building a new home theater for about 3 years and have finally finished. I started out getting a bunch of old speakers on Ebay and Craigslist. I am a big ADS speaker fan. I went through several different models and settled on the L1290/2s. I got two pairs and built a center channel cabinet and purchased new drivers and a crossover from Rich So. I got fed up with the AV receiver that I was using to drive them, it had too little power. I had an old stereo amp a Nikko Alpha 440 and got an idea that I could buy more of them off of Ebay or Craigslist and then put together an all seperate theater with alot more power. I contacted Dariusz and asked him if he could rebuild these amps and he told me he worked on them for years and it would be no problem. After several bad purchases I finally got one he could repair. I got all my money back from Ebay on the amps that were unrepairable , and decided to purchase a new 5 channel amp that was both powerful and had high current capabilities, and a new preamp as well so I could upgrade to Dolby Atmos. The preamp I got from Dariusz was an Anthem AV60. I was going to match that with a Parasound amp and at the last minute Dariusz got a hold of an Anthem P5 used. I asked him to hold on to it for me and without a deposit he held it for me. I have been into stereo gear since the late 60s and always could only afford mid fi gear. I have read all the magazines so I do know a little bit more than the average consumer. The rebuilds of the old Nikko amps was flawless. Dariusz even swapped all the speaker terminals on one amp so they would all be the same even without me asking. He is very busy and it was extra work so I didn't ask him to do all 4 but he did it anyway and I was very happy. I watched him teach customers while I was waiting, I watched him repair minor issues on gear that people carried in right on the spot. One turntable got fixed just for the price of the parts. The sound of my new theater now is incredible, I have all the power my speakers need and then some. He did get a little flustered after bringing him one junky amp after another but never told me he couldn't help. I have finally got the theater of my dreams, awesome power, clarity, dead quiet signal to noise, I am hearing all kinds of new music on my recordings and movies. If you love music, and movies with surround sound you really should let Dariusz help you get the right gear. I feel so fortunate that I found him to help me put together an incredible system. Highly recommended."
