Autumn is a time to retreat to our listening spaces and fine-tune our hi-fis to get that perfect sound. We’ve had some beautiful Linn Sondek LP12 Turntables in for servicing, refreshing, and upgrading — each holding musical memories. It’s always a pleasure to get them back to their prime and playing music again.
As we move into the darker half of the year, there’s no better time to lose ourselves in music. We’re loving new albums by OneOhTrix Point Never and Dave on the Harbeth XD2 line — the craftsmanship and attention to detail bring the sound even closer to how the artist intended.

As summer draws to a close, we're gearing up for what promises to be a busy September at Soundstage Hi-Fi — and we're very excited about what's coming up!
Growing up listening to hip-hop, we're thrilled to be hosting an event that celebrates the underground scene in collaboration with Velocity Press. Join us on Thursday, 18th September, for an evening that combines a book launch and DJ sets from author Ben Pedroche and the talented illustrator Dan Lish — both will also be in conversation with us here at the shop. It starts at 6pm and entry is FREE, so come and experience golden age hip-hop through our incredible TPI system. Bring the Noise!
