High Fidelity

Damn. There is so much good stuff. Had to leave otherwise I'd easily blow my budget. Will definitely be back soon.

Been coming for years, great selection across genres at fair prices. One of my most recommended stores in L.A.

Always the most grounded and welcoming place. Their records are always amazing too, just be sure to come Saturday when they drop their new selection - the popular records usually go quick! Their taste is immaculate if you want to pick up some sage music advice from the two shop owners Stan and Ray. Usually the only two that hold down the shop. Stay for the conversation and vibes. Leave with new music and better headspace.

I get to fly out to LA every two months for business, and I try to hit record stores. This store instantly became one of my favorite spots in LA. Store manager or the owner is very approachable and friendly. Records are very well taken care of and accurately graded. I always listen to records at listening stations and look at the surfaces and check the sounds of particular sections of possible issue. And, I find their grading is conservative, so you can consider one notch higher (I.e. VG → VG+) at this shop. I also bought the High Fidelity t-shirt in the good ol’ thank you bag. It’s $15. Unbelievable deal.

Great prices, vinyl conditions are great. They have some sections for $1 dollar and staff is always helpful. They also let you play the records! Great selection.
