I've been an analog enthusiast for 15 years and have always loved Omega Music. I bought a new album from them for Christmas and it had a horrible hiss on it, unlike any normal pops and cracks that naturally go with listening to records. Asked Omega if there was anything they could do and they said they would clean it and if it was still there they could do an exchange for another version of the same album - Cool! When I took it in for cleaning, and without listening to the album, they told me what I was hearing was due to listening with headphones and that's just what vinyl sounds like. I have hundreds of albums, some original pressings from decades ago, and none hiss like this, headphones or otherwise. Attendant listened on speakers and admitted he heard it and offered to clean for free - great. Went to pick it up a couple days later. Got home, still hissed in a way that made it almost unlistenable on headphones. Admittedly, it was not as bad on my speakers but still a distraction. Held off on calling for a few days because I didn't want to make a fuss. Finally called and another attendant offered to replace the record for me since it still hissed. When I showed up, the new attendant told me - again without listening - that the hiss came from listening to vinyl on headphones. Instead of replacing the album, since they couldn't "repeat" my problem, they bought it back from me...for less than half of what I paid for it. Ended up buying another copy of the same album. Got it home - no hiss. I know they're a business and have to make their money but their condescension about what vinyl sounds like on headphones and failure to make good on their offer to replace my album made this an endlessly frustrating experience. Will not be returning in a rush.
What a vibe! Cool, well stocked, extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Perfect for picking up the hot new release or hunting down old classics. Worth a stop if you're in the area!
Probably my favorite record shop in the Dayton area. Great selection of vinyls in every genre imaginable. There's some fun discounted mystery bags full of older records that you can pick up if you're feeling adventurous. There's a little bit of music related merch like patches, stickers, shirts, & books. Staff always seem really cool & friendly. I also appreciate that they work with local charities & donate to them when you skip getting a bag. I wish more businesses operated like this!
My brother in law bought my some records last year with RSD. This year as a Dutchy I had to pleasure to scroll through their amazing inventory. For everybody there is a pick. New, second hand, memorabilia. What a big and great Record Store. Is worth absolutely a visit when you are in the Dayton area.
This is one of the premier places to peruse for vinyl, collectible albums, limited edition sets, and other uncommon (or rare) music-related paraphernalia. They're very reasonably priced with an eclectic and impressive selection of national and local artists, and the staff is helpful and friendly. They also have designated parking, which is a huge bonus!
