Testimonials

With more than 340 glowing reviews, our customers say it best.

Strongly recommended. Nathan and his staff gave great advice on a used turntable, and sold it to me at a very fair price. They even demonstrated it in the store. Picked up a new record while there; the vinyl was like new. They are friendly, personable, and welcomed us in even though I didn't think I was going to buy anything that day. I will be back for records, and more equipment. Thanks!

Nathan and the team at Sound Heritage were amazing. I have a vintage and rare turntable brought over from the UK and I couldn’t get the machine to operate correctly. Sound Heritage took on the responsibility and kept me updated on the progress. They have brought the turntable back to life and it’s playing better than ever. Fantastic job well done and I would happily use their services again. Plus the shop has a great selection of vinyl and cool vintage HiFi for sale.

Great shop with good selection of used vinyl. We were visiting from out of town and were glad we stopped in. Nathan was super personable and generous, and we came away with many gems. We will be back!

if i could give more than 5 stars i would !! i came from vancouver planning to get just a record player, but left with said record player, receiver, and a couple of records. nathan was incredibly helpful and so kind - he clearly knows and loves his stuff, and the community he’s built there was evident in the half-hour or so i spent there. i would gladly make the trip across to come and visit again!

Nathan spent over an hour with me going over a dozen different combinations for my first Hi-Fi system. He showed me what to look for used in everything from amps, tuners, and receivers, to speaker builds and I left with a whole system and I couldn't be happier! Prices were competitive with facebook but with better service and guaranteed performance.

The best place around for vintage hi-fi audio gear and servicing/repairs. Fantastic selection of vinyl with incredible management! Nathan and his team are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Sound Heritage is a true gem for the community of Nanaimo.

Great staff looked over my sae 2300 cleaned and checked everything fair price also bought a sae receiver that i am very happy with,thanks again Nathan I will be back for any service I may need on vintage stuff.

Honestly had the best experience, Nathan was beyond helpful to my partner and I who were new to owning a record player, he shared his knowledge and showed us how to set it up before we took it home. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks again!

Serviced my thirty-eight year old amp and preamp. Full diagnostic and reporting, good as new. Quality used audio equipment, cd's, records and tapes. Left with a new to me cd player 🙂 Friendly staff and professional.

Went into today with my son and Nathan was awesome. Helped get him set up with a record player, speakers and a couple records at a great price. Super helpful and even stayed open a bit late for us. Thanks for being awesome.

If you are looking to get into vynal or your looking to upgrade your system, this is the place to go. There are not many stores that offer a selection of vintage gear, but this is the best there is. Nathan will help you find what you are looking for. He will even let you test anything in the store. Also a great selection of vynal, tape and cd's if you're looking to add to your collection.
