Doug is the best! I got my Sansui 6060 back up and running with the fuses he keeps in stock. Cool retro receivers, amplifiers, and speakers on display. I need to bring my old Denon in and have it gone through too. This is the only place in Portland / Vancouver you should ever bring your home audio equipment for repair. Ive been going here for years, and I always look forward to seeing the cool stuff he has to offer. Go in and check out the retro Macintosh amplifier! Hell plug it in if you want to give it a go. They dont make sound like these old systems do anymore. Old school or no school when it comes to audio for me! Cool store. Keep it up! :-)

This is one of those finely tucked hidden gems for HiFi aficionados.The proprietor of this shop obviously does it for the love of good quality music (great jazz was playing when I came in) and the equipment that can reproduce it. Think wooden cabinets and 70s Pioneer amps and speakers. If you have an old but refurbishable component from the 70s, he may buy it at a fair price, and lovingly replace worn components to give it a new lease on life, destined for a new home that appreciates the golden era of solid-state HiFi.Even if you just need a repair, give them a call before relegating to Goodwill or a trash bin.One last note; the storefront itself is located on 122nd on the NW corner of the building, so dont get confused if you are looking and dont find it from the parking lot. Best to park on the S.side of the building and walk around to the shop.

Lots of CLASSIC stereo equipmentAnd fast repairs on your Classic equipment

100% recommended. Great customer service and timely, reasonably priced repair on my vintage Marantz receiver. Also a great selection of quality used/refurbished stereo components at great prices. I made the drive up from Eugene to have my gear worked on here based on recommendations and was very glad I did.

Great stereo shop. Used inventory is always changing. Speakers, receivers, tube and SS amps, turntables, cassette players and more, incl some accessories. Repairs are top notch. Great choice for vintage gear and repair.

Amazing little shop here in Portland. Very friendly and very helpful, highly recommend this place. Came in needing some work done on my speakers. Quickly repaired and was out the door within minutes A++

Very high level of electronic expertise. Very, Very reasonable charges for the type and degree of services performed. Very...Very...Very...Honest.

I was having issues with the right channel on my cherished Marantz receiver. Took it in, described the issue, and was told it would be done in about three weeks. Just under two weeks later, I received a message that it was ready for pick up. Im back home with it now and its like a brand new receiver. A+ experience all around. Thanks Doug!!!

Fast and friendly service! Made my Marantz sing again! Very reasonable price and quick turnaround. Would be happy to return. Thank you! ⭐️⭐️💯

Great spot to keep your classic hifi equipment working at its best.Also a selection of vintage receivers, amps and speakers.

Doug went above and beyond & cleaned components that were not specifically requested. I brought in a vintage Technics RS-M45 cassette deck that, one day, failed to Play/FF/RW. Not only was this fixed, but he also cleaned all of the dials, cleaned other internal components and demagnetization. It functions like new. Could not be happier and the price was great! This is my new go to shop for my gear.

I purchased a nice Pioneer tuner/amp and a dual turn table a few years back. I love them. I recently returned to have the Pioneer checked out as some issues popped up. It now sounds 10 times better and i cant stop listening to records. SOUNDS AMAZING.They have a great show room. Go check it out.Thank you Audio Specialties!

What a gem this store is. If you love or own quality stereo gear this is the place to buy, repair, or just drool over the selection of totally awesome and rare stuff from the 60s on up. I love coming by to say hi to Doug and see what cool new stuff he has. Vintage hi-fi geek heaven!

Great reconditioned used audio equipment. Doug is great and everything comes with a 90 day guarantee! This store is a Portland treasure!

If you havent been here you should check it out! Doug is a nice guy very knowledgeable at what he does and is always helpful. On top of that he has the the most reasonable prices on services and equipment.

I inherited a Fisher system that needed cleaning and adjusting. Doug did a great job at a very good price. I love the store. Kind of a audio Disneyland.

Doug restored a 46 year old Sherwood SEL - 200 receiver.Brought in home and hooked it up and sounds like magic of 1972. Singing at full volume!He went above and beyond to tune up, refresh, and repair only what required repairs.Sounds amazing!

Great service, the owner is a really nice and honest guy. Seems like a one man showHe turned up my 20 yr old technics 1200s, which were in bad shape! They look and sound brand new again!!If youre looking for vintage equipment as well, hes got some classic receivers, take decks, amps, and speakers in there.

This place is the best kept secret, dont tell anyone, just kidding, buy here come here for repairs!!!!

Not much inventory.

Great shop, repaired my 1975 receiver and good to work with

Exelent selection of amplifiers, turntables, cassette decks, and speakers all at very reasonable prices with very helpful staff.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, good work, and very reasonable charge for repair. Im very happy about how good my 20-year old integrated amp sounds. My highest recommendation!

Doug at Audio Specialties stands by his work. Took in my Mitsubishi vertical turntable—Ive been told by another technician that this is a very hard model to work on. As requested, Doug replaced the belt, but when I can came home something didnt sounds right. I took it back, Doug worked on the speed (at no charge) until it sounded amazing. Thank you Doug for going the extra mile.

Doug is the man. Hes repaired both a ground on my vintage Kenwood, and also gave new life to my early 70s Sherwood receiver -- it sounds amazing now that the stereo channel works. Never thought Id get to hear it. Their repair rates are very fair and reasonable, plus they have an awesome collection of vintage systems for sale at the shop. 5 stars all the way.

Great service. My turntable is awesome now.santa Esmeralda never sounded as great as right now. Thanks Doug.

Doug at Audio Specialties is a true Craftsman and master of Electronics and doing the proper repair. I wish I knew just 10% of what he knows and what he can do. I gave Doug my vintage Marantz 2226B for a tune-up. He returned it...Better than New and with LED Lights. Thanks Doug!!!!!

Best place in town for used equipment and repairs. Very experienced and knowledgeable staff. Ive been going there for many years

Doug is great He does good work is very helpful

I was a music teacher in the school district near Audio Specialties. I bought around 8 pairs of speakers, 6 amplifiers and 5 CD players from them. Plus they repaired around 10 electronic devices for me. I love this business. If you want superb vintage audio equipment, fair prices and excellent service, patronize this store.

I love this place! Doug always does great repairs at reasonable prices. The vintage stuff he sells is in great shape, and is also reasonably priced. If you want a vintage system without hunting around, check it out.

Had a great experience here with a repair! Will come back for all my stereo work in the future.

Repaired my old Adcom 555 amp. Quite competent and reasonable

I really like Doug there, I was born in Portland and he (Doug)does not argue about electronics! He just rifles through his electronics like there is no tomorrow,he is the houdini when I see him working back there on the electronics. I was gone for 9 years and I to find out that everybody like Hollywood,California is arguing about electronics. Been to Switzerland, France, Kingdom of Netherlands,UK,Central America,Mexico(16) times and all across Canada and they do not argue about electronics like Doug. I even bought this this laptop from a gal in Vegas,I kept repeating myself that I took vocational electronics in high school,I sold 2 others for her,diagnosed one bad in 35 minuets and she was rude? this never happens in foreign countries? I dont know how many times people have tried to sell me Beats headphones and I tell that I have Akai and Sennheiser and they say that dont know what I am talking about?

I had a rather old but still serviceable Sony amplifier that the power switch failed on and was told at one place that it wasnt worth fixing, but at Audio Specialties they were able to replace the switch for a very reasonable price and saved me from replacing my analog equipment unnecessarily. Great service, reasonable prices and helpful staff.

Doug is the Best, no two ways about it .

Came to Audio Specialties Ltd to have my Pioneer receiver repaired. Everything was wonderful and will be back to have a few other pieces of mine worked on as well! Highly Recommended!!

Bought a wonderful pair of mid-70s ESS Tempest speakers here and a Dual turntable too. Audio Specialties has a nicely curated selection of vintage equipment at good prices. Doug is super nice and answers all of my idiotic and embarrassing audio questions. A+

Very nice staff, great selection of used gear and speakers, clean.

I took in my late husbands Denon cd player to hopefully get it repaired. Well when I got the call about how much, I asked if it was worth the price.........well I received a honest answer no. I was then told he had better used cd players for less than the repair quote. I am now a customer for life! Great customer service and a great experience. I would recommend this business. Oh and the cd player I purchased is wonderful.

Doug is a very knowledgeable person and is very honest and fair. As a collector of vintage audio equipment, this is my go to place for repairs!

This is THE place to go for vintage electronics especially to repair them. Doug is absoulutely the best, extremely fair and knowlegeable and trustworthy. Tell everyone about this place so he is around for a long time. I have had 3 receivers and 2 turntables serviced and repaired here. Great place!

He repaired my 1979 Sansui receiver ahead of schedule and at a fair price. Great to work with and VERY knowledgeable.

This might be my first negative review for amy business... I went in to purchase a new (to me) receiver. The shop was empty. He didnt seem interested in answering my questions, and literally picked up the phone and started making a phone call then turned around while I was in mid-sentence. Wow. Too bad. Seems like he had some decent stuff in there, but that was just too rude to spend my money there...

I went over there from Beaverton to sell my book shelf speakers Hes always treats me fairly and pays me well for used stereo equipment.

Very helpful. Love the receiver I purchased last year.

Great little unassuming hifi audio shop. The owner is a super friendly and highly knowledgeable!

Had my Magnepan speakers refurbished here, and they work great. Also purchased a vintage Teac tape player reel to reel. Great service and fair prices.

Stopped in to see if they could repair a non stereo item. While I waited I looked around at the vintage receivers and they have Marantz, Sansui, Pioneer, Denon etc at very good prices. Doug fixed my wiring in 5 minutes. A very qualified guy.

Doug the shop proprietor, really knows his trade. He repaired & refurbished an old Marantz Model 26 receiver that Id inherited from my dad. He also gave me a decent deal on a fresh turntable stylus for a vintage Technics Sl-D3 that I recently acquired. In addition, he showed me how to properly adjust it, as Id never owned such an elaborate record player before. Now Im having a blast rediscovering my old vinyl. Its a pleasure to be able to support and recommend this local business. Thanks again, Doug!

The very best place in town for pre-owned Hi-Fi components.

Doug repaired 3 pieces of Marantz gear for me and did it for over $100.00 less than a shop in Beaverton had quoted. They had charged me $25.00 per piece for the estimates. When I told them their quote was too much they told me to go packing. They refused to even refund a portion of my $75.00. The shop in Beaverton has no integrity. Stay away from this repair shop in Beaverton. They are located on the corner of Farmington and Watson. Echo Audio had recommended Audio Specialties to me and am I glad they did, Doug is the best ! Fast and reasonably priced.

All kinds of old equipment in fantastic condition!

Vintage home electric for fair prices

Not only have I found gems, amazingly they were priced well. This place is magic.

Knowledgeable, helpful, and in possession of some classic systems.

Great service, repairs and vintage hifi

Great, friendly, knowledgeable service, a pleasure to do business with.

I have mixed feelings and mixed experiences with this place.

I was the nail shop next door

Awesome as always !
