National Sound

Highly recommend! What the shop lacks in aesthetic, it makes up in the honest and straightforward service from Paul. He’s a man of his craft and serviced the seized motor in a turntable that I inherited within a week. I’ve been back for a new stylus and other miscellaneous audio needs since.Ask the right questions: When can I pick it up? How much?Easy as that.

I have been to see Paul at National Sound twice in the past few months. Both times I appreciated his honesty. In the first case he quickly discovered the problem and fixed it....NO CHARGE! In the second case, he checked out the equipment and recommended against repairing it as it is cheaper to purchase a new unit....NO CHARGE!I appreciate Paul's expertise and honesty. I would recommend Paul at National Sound for anyone seeking electronic sound equipment repair.

Paul is awesome and honest. I went in with 2 Technics 1200 turntables that had been sitting in a basement for years. Paul was more than happy to offer advice, options on parts, and also held my equipment while I searched online for cheaper parts.Granted, he can be a little slow but he's amazing. A lot of great equipment in the store, just be ready to browse. He's got my business as long as he stays open.

I drove 45min to National Sound in Etobicoke as it seemed like this guy might be able to address some issues I was having with a subwoofer and a turntable. I was mistaken. It didn’t seem like he wanted to help / listen to my concerns / do any work for me, but he did charge me $30 for some fairy dust ( cleaned the connections etc. etc.) and I’m no closer to a working system than before. A complete waste of time. Electronics repair shops are almost non existent these days , but i would strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

I took my TEAC record player and dual cassette player, plus 2 KOSS floor speakers whose sound was blown, to National Sound. Paul did an excellent job repairing the record player, and one side of dual cassette player which were not working, and restoring sound to the floor speakers. I found the price was very reasonable for everything . Paul even phoned me twice to give me updates and when I would be able to come and pick up the items. I got everything back within 2 weeks. Paul even gave me replacement cable for the speakers at no extra charge.. I found him very friendly, helpful approachable, and easy to deal with. I definately recommend National Sound and will use it again if need arises. I'm just so happy to find this place which was able to fix everything., and in short amount of time. Thank you Paul.

I have accumulated a large collection of turntables and vintage receivers over the years and as they eventually dry out and need repair, a visit to National Sound has been very rewarding. Paul has always been able to explain what most often is wrong because of his decades of experience. If the item is not worth the labour cost of the repair, he will tell you not to spend the money which I have appreciated. Yes the place is crammed with audio equipment, a mess, but it is not a showroom and you are there for the service and I have had the best at very fair pricing.

I was happy to finally enter Paul's overflowing store full of vintage audio gear in Etobicoke. I had a seat in the chair, explained what I was looking for and Paul had me hunt through his stacks of gear - and I found it. At a fair price too!I've been back several times and Paul always treats me right, he's currently replacing the phono cables on a turntable.Bring your high-end audio gear to Paul's shop on The Queensway, he provides free estimates, I believe the minimum repair charge is now $40.

I just had a cartridge replaced on my Rega turntable by the folks at National Sound and they did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond to the point that they delivered my turntable to my house in Toronto (much appreciated). I would highly recommend them for both service and price. Thanks again for the awesome work!!

There is almost nowhere to go in Toronto to if you need to fix your turntable. Paul at National Sound is great. I first brought him a turntable that I bought for $1 at a garage sale and he fixed it up nice for around $50 including the cartridge and a new belt. Above all, the price is very good here. He also had a great show room of used equipment if you are looking to upgrade. All in all I would highly recommend National Sound!
