Needle Doctor

I consider myself lucky that I live near a audio store like the Needle Doctor. For a lover of vinyl this is a little piece of heaven.  Primarily a mail order/online operation, they do have a retail store in St. Louis Park (west suburb of Minneapolis).  Their specialty is all things necessary to play a vinyl record: cleaning supplies, turntables, cartridges and of course needles.  But they also do have a full array of audio equipment too (speakers, amps, etc.).

I can spend hours on their website lusting for additions and upgrades to my system.  In addition to their inventory, what I really like is they are really great guys: excellent customer service and no snob factor.  They will make you feel comfortable whether you want to spend a $100 on a turntable or $10,000.

Today I went to the retail store to get some first hand advice on some future investments – I made sure to leave my wallet at home to avoid temptation.  And so I was reminded of what a great place this is and felt the need to make this post.
