Still Playing Vinyl (Records)?
At the Sound Well we cater to the listener that still appreciates
a good vinyl record!
We sell a full line of new cartridges and styli from the following
manufacturers: Audio Technica, Grado, Ortofon, Pickering, Shure
and Stanton. We stock only the factory originals - no inferior
generics!
We would highly prefer when you are buying a stylus (needle)
or cartridge from us that you bring us the entire turntable. We
are glad to give your turntable a free check-out at the counter
that includes testing for: speed, tonearm balance and general
health of the machine. Delicate items such as styli and cartridges
are too fragile to take returns on and we'd really rather know
that your turntable is functioning properly before we take your
money.
So if your turntable is an old workhorse and you're comfortable
that it's working OK, there is no absolute need to bring it in.
However, if this is a table you haven't used for a long time or
just recently bought at a yard sale, PLEASE bring it in! Another
good reason to bring the entire turntable is that many needles
have been discontinued and the entire cartridge may need to be
replaced. Although this does not cost significantly more than
replacing the stylus, the installation can be a little trickier.
Again, we're happy to do it for you, almost always for just the
price of the parts.
We sell a wide selection of serviced and guaranteed used turntables.
Their prices start around $100 including a new cartridge or stylus.
We stock an assortment of other phono accessories such as
belts, headshells, phono preamps, and record and stylus cleaners.
All turntables (except B&O's) come with a new cartridge
or at least a new stylus included in the price listed. They all
come with dustcovers - unless specifically listed otherwise. Turntables
are among the hardest items to ship of all the items we carry.
Ones without dustcovers are virtually impossible! If you are interested
in buying a table, it's probably best to do it as walk-in business.
We sell more turntables here than ever. Our turnover in them is
high enough that many don't even make it to our website listing!
If you call us, we'll gladly put your name in our "Want Book"
for specific items.
Mail Order:
If you know EXACTLY which needle or cartridge you
need, we will be glad to sell it to you as a mail order transaction.
This also presumes that you can install and rebalance things yourself.
Note that we can't take returns on delicate items such as phono
needles and cartridges. If you're uncertain with your ability
to install it yourself, please come in with your turntable and
do it in person. Remember - ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
We offer the following on cartridge and stylus purchases:
Free shipping by US Mail on any stylus/cartridge purchase
under $50.
Anything over $50 will be sent UPS
at buyers expense.
