I needed a cable for my subwoofer and they helped me find the right one for my setup. I highly recommend checking out this store. They have an Impressive inventory of receivers, speakers, and record players for every audiophile.
Staff goes above and beyond. Awesome selection.
Great selection, friendly people and audio equipment you can test drive in the store. I was looking for the items on a internet but purchased in this store after talking to friendly person at deciBel. Price difference was just about sale tax, value I received in knowledge is priceless.
Love it here. Nice to have a place with knowledgeable, technically skilled folks with good taste running the place.
I just bought my first turntable here. I thought the experience would be intimidating since I don’t know much about them. But the employee was really nice, explained basic differences, and didn’t pressure me to get something more expensive than I needed. Very happy with my purchase 😊
I cant say enough great things about Decibel and their staff. Tucker really knows his stuff. Picked up an integrated amp here last summer and a pair of speakers last week. Why do I love this place? Great gear. Great expert advice and they dont oversell you. Sure you can spend a fortune on high-end audio, but Tucker advises to your budget or to your needs and doesnt push you to buy something you wont get the most value from. That approach builds long term customer relationships. Major credibility and major respect, in my opinion.
Ive bought, sold, and traded with these folks and its always a great experience. The owner is also a good guy and treats people with respect. Some other stores have a few more brands that I prefer. Though, if you need turntable service or advice - deciBel should be in your top three for Chicago.
This place is great. I have purchased here several times and have never been let down. They have high-quality products (both new and used). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. And the pricing has been very fair. I would highly recommend and will definitely go back.
Very helpful an knowledge I bought my first turntable there 6 years ago and they change the cartridge very cool staff know I bought my upgrade turntable
Tucker is a stickler. The proper kind youre looking for when visiting an audio shop. As a self described phile, I was welcomed and taken care of quickly. Five stars.
Ive purchased two refurbished record players from the store and they have both worked perfectly and were in mint condition. The store even helped me to ship a record player to my parents outside of the state for an anniversary and handled every part of process – seamless!
Worked with Jeremy to diagnose an issue with my turntable and he could not have been more helpful. These guys know their stuff and have a wide variety of gear.
Best music equipment store ever! Excellent used and refirbished pieces. Great selection of new as well! Friendly staff. Awesome!
Ive worked with Decibel for over 10 years now. They know their stuff!They are very familiar with all levels of gear, from first stereos to pro level large installations. They are patient, get the job done, and are fair.A pleasure to work with, Ill continue to give them my business for years to come.
Awesome, eclectic inventory. Really need items for audiophiles to geek out about. Friendly service. Purchased some studio headphones there that I also use with my guitar amp.
The staff is absolutely amazing. They will let you demo some very nice equipment ranging from some harder to find (to demo) headphones, and some very nice audio setups. Going to this store is a fantastic experience even if you dont buy anything.
Knowledgeable and friendly crew with a great selection for the audiophile. They kindly spent an hour with me as I picked their brains about how best to augment my turntable setup and have me a nice discount on top of it. Ill definitely be back.
I purchased some professional headphones and some components there and have to say these guys knowledgeable and nice to deal with
It was a great experience visited them. Beautiful equipment and some really interesting new stuff. The people in charge are nice and helpul. Totally recommended.
I inherited my grandmothers record player. Instead of charging me unnecessarily. They talked me through how to go about fixing it. They were very knowledgeable of a brand I have only heard of recently. Talked to a few diffrent places in the city. They were by far the best. Nothing but respect for their establishment.
The install team is top notch, and very handsome
Very honest and fair. Trustworthy vendor. Bought equipment, they shipped to Canada promptly. Very satisfied.
Great place to go for audio equipment. They have a great selection of super high end stuff as well as refurbed stuff more in the mid-range.They also have a large selection of speakers, cables, and accessories and they do repairs as well.I picked up a nice dual-deck Onkyo tape deck for $80 that they had fixed up into like-new condition. The staff is very knowledgeable and not pushy at all.If you are looking for some audio equipment and have a little cash to spend then you should check out Decibel.
Friendly and helpful staff, wonderful selection in stock. Well continue coming back!
These guys are great--had an issue with my turntable and they really went out of their way to help me out, Tucker was awesome, very knowledgeable. If you like new or vintage hi-fi stuff, this is the best place to go.
Very nice audio shop- low-key and high quality. I got a pair of Shure headphones
I have been working with Adam, Avi, Eloy, and the rest of these amazing men for almost 4 years now....they are SO comprehensive and detailed, its very impressive. I would recommend Decibel Audio to anyone and have referred lots of friends and family here over the years.
I just called these guys and asked a question about my home audio and they were SO helpful!! I didn’t even purchase anything from them, but the great service and advice made me want to in the future!
These guys know their stuff.In typical hipster fashion, I was in the market for a record player and didnt want to buy it from some box store like Urban Outfitters, so I walked over to DeciBel instead. I didnt know much (and still dont know much) about the best options/needs/requirements for setting up any sort of in home sound system.They walked me through most everything, I, knowing nothing, gave them wrong info. I ended up buying a record player that was refurbished and it didnt end up working. I took it back same day, and it turned out it wasnt something they would be able to fix quickly. So, instead of making me stick with a product that they could fix in time, they got me an upgrade to a brand new record player - for the difference of course.Through it all, they were excellent.
If you love the high fidelity, you will love this place. Great people!
Great Service! The staff was so nice and helped me with all the problems on my record player! Even the problems I didnt know existed.
Great shop! Had exactly what I wanted and shipped SO quickly!
I have a question: do they fix Harmon speakers?
Knowledge staff and great selection, even has some used units
Nice guy and very knowledgeable the prices are okay
No pressure environment, passionate about the product, learned a lot about the system I already have from just a short window shopping turned tour of the shop visit. Thanks, will be back!
Come here if youre very serious about your home audio. They carry new and used equipment.
Audiophiles will love this place.
Staff seemed kind of annoyed to help with anything. But they tried and were patient when I was trying to sell them some old equipment.
LOVE THIS PLACE!
Nice selection.
I like the place
