Turn It Up! Records & Hi-Fi

The #1 spot for all your vinyl needs. An absolutely MASSIVE collection that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. From metal to jazz and everything in between, CD’s, speakers and record players. You’ll need l to plan a few hours if you’re on the hunt as you can get lost in here! My new favourite record store <3

On record store day (April 22, 2023) I was looking for a record that had not yet arrived. I was advised that the record would be arriving in the next couple of days and to pay for the record to received the RSD discount. I paid for the record and the woman behind the desk made note of my order and phone number a said I would receive a call, the call never came. I have now called twice and left messages with no response. I also spoke with a gentleman on May 22, 2023, who advised me that she was not in and would text her and call me back. Again I have had no response. Extremely disappointed in the communication with the staff and it appears I am out the money paid for the record as it now been one month since record store day obviously more than a couple of days originally quoted for the item to be received.

Great selection. Very cool building, I love the different rooms and the bargain basement area. I found a few cool records and CDs there. I can't wait to go back when I have a lot more time to search through the entire store.

My favourite record shop in town. I love the selection and the amazing customer service here – special shout out to Bree! If you’re looking for mainstream or rare, doesn’t matter, this is the spot for you.

I went in for their Black Friday sale and was not disappointed. They have a great selection of many diverse genres, including prog and metal which is what I was after. I feel as though their average prices are perhaps a bit high, but not enough to deter me from going back. Would recommend.

I spent days trying to find a place to buy a new stylus for my turntable. Called in and they had replacements readily available!Very knowledgeable staff, and a great environment. I always spend more than I intend to when I go in, but I always leave happy!

My go-to records store. Old and new vinyl selection plus a good selection of mostly retro hifi equipment is available. Friendly and helpful staff.

I was very impressed with the selection of LP’s, tapes, and CD’s available at this location. My girlfriend and I got our first record player for Christmas, and being new to the game, we were completely lost. The woman working, despite being the only employee present, and the store being busy, still took the time to talk to us about what to look for when examining used records, to check if they had anything from a very specific indie artist my girlfriend is into, and to discuss storage and general maintenance with us. The prices certainly weren’t cheap, but from my very limited knowledge on the subject, none of albums I bought cost more than they would have if I’d bought them off of Amazon or Sunrise/HMV.

I strongly recommend you have a decent knowledge of used vinyl prices before you go here. The mark-up on some of their grails" is ridiculous. Although now it looks like they price-match on new records(you're gonna need to do that) the prices are 25% higher than everywhere else in the city. Vast majority of used records are overpriced. Lots of other shops in the city that don't operate on the pawn shop rip-off model."

Great staff and great selection of records, however.. when I was checking out I felt like the girl at the till was pushing me to buy more then I wanted. When I said I can't afford it they said that it was an impossible find and continued trying to enthusiastically" push me into the purchase.I didn't buy it but when I went home I checked the album I had bought from them on discogs
