What a fantastic shop. I bought an Arcam alpha amp and wharfedale speakers around 1992 from hi-fi corner in Glasgow. I still have the alpha 11 amp as I couldn't bear to part with it. I now use mostly Linn and naim equipment but the Arcam comes out occasionally along with a Marantz cd50 se and the mordaunt short speakers that replaced the wharfedales.
Fantastic shop, I purchased a pair of Bowers & Wilkins headphones from this shop a couple of years ago and I am extremely impressed with their performance and the very knowledgeable staff. Well done folks.
Hope to visit soon. I remember your shops in Glasgow, specifically Gordon Street. Guys in Falkirk are very helpful too!! Fantastic service and products.
Fabulous video - I done my school work experience at the Rose St store and since moved onto professional & commercial audio; H-F was where the seed was sown however!
Nice one Struan, looks absolutely fantastic. Everything I have purchased from you has been top notch and is still sounding fabulous. Living in Cornwall these days but next time I am up around your neck of the woods I will make sure I stop by to have a nose, keep it going.
I've bought a Quad pre/power amp from your online shop and was very happy with the equipment and service provided. Now I'm looking for a reason to come to Edinburgh to see that shop, the best I've ever seen and I've seen a few. I can spend hours looking at HIFI equipment ,especially stuff I'll never be able to afford so you might have trouble getting rid of me😊.
I remember buying HIFI from HIFI Corner when it was located in the small shop in Rose Street in Edinburgh in the 80’s and still going. We’ll done to all concerned 🏴👍❤️
I used to frequent HiFi Corner when it was at the top of Leith, decades ago. It would have been the late 80's when one of the HiFi Corner staff sold me his Kef 105.4. I also remember having a demo of the Tannoy D700 when it was released in that store. Fond memories. The store has certainly came along since it left Elm Row, despite not being in the market for anything I may well pop in one day just to browse.
Excellent video. I am on my second pair of Focal Utopia headphones, plus Chord HUGO TT2 and M Scaler, all purchased from Hi Fi Corner. Excellent service at all times, but an awfully long way for me to drive from Clevedon, North Somerset, to visit the store!
I remember during the first wave of the pandemic John Douglas at Hi-Fi Corner brilliantly helping me out with a Pathos Aurium and a pair of Senn HD800S - getting that 'head-fi' going as we were all indoors and the speaker system not always appropriate!
Bought my first separate system from the shop in 2019, and got upsold to B&W speakers after a demonstration in your listening room. They have been on almost every day since.
Hi, i'm Bruno, French and i live in France. I bought about 3 or 5 years ago a pair of spekers Dali Rubicon 8 . You shipped it over France and everything was perfect. I would like to know if it's possible to order again . Thank you.
Hi, sorry to bother you. I was thinking of getting a Cambridge audio AXC25 amp and cd player with a pair of Wharfdale diamond 9.0 speakers. Could you tell me if this is a decent set-up please? Only had cheap all-in-one hifi’s before (current one is a sharp). Wanted something better and separates. Musically I’m into metal and classic rock. Cheers 🫡
Fabulous looking shop, great tour.
Hi Adrian, thanks for liking the video. Pop in next time you're in the area.
Edinburgh person here. Why did I not realise HiFi Corner existed? It looks amazing.🤩 Great presentation!
You are welcome to pay us a visit any time!
Very good. I feel like I've just watched a video of audiophile heaven 😮
Thanks for the comments. We have a few nice pieces here at the showroom.
Fantastic walk through Struan. Thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and line-up of gear displayed and on demo. Wishing you all the best!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant video, amazing rooms! And a great company 👍
We agree! :)
Thanks for the view. Looks like a great at place to hang out. You don't see many stores like that anymore

Congratulations on a very nicely put together presentation (and a sense of humour!)
Glad you liked it!
Looks fantastic!

Thanks for commenting. Yeah, we started in Haddington Place in 1972!!!
Really awesome. Thank you for sharing
Thank you!
Nice looking shop. We need more well considered HiFi shops here in the states. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching!
Remember when you had a place in Glasgow, loved that shop
Yeah, in Bath Street, were only One Train and One Bus away. Private parking as well?

Kef Ref 105.4 and the Tannoys were quite the thing back then You'd be more than welcome to pop in for a coffee.

Hi Michael, Iain here. It's as if you were here! Very good to hear from you!
@ 😀😀
Interesting video. You have excellent stock and facilities
thanks for liking the video. Pop in next time you're in the area.
Hi Struan, Good to see you in your shop. I love the Nelson’s you sold me and when I’m next in Scotland I’ll drop in.
Glad you are enjoying them :) hope to see you in the shop at some point or say hello at another show
Interesting video - nice one!
Glad you enjoyed it

That’s great to hear!
Eagerly waiting for my next trip to Edinburgh!!!
Let us know when you'll be in Edinburgh, and we'll press play!
Very impressive!
Thank you!
I bought my first CD player from hi-fi corner when they were in Rose Street. It was a Marantz CD65 II. It cost £249.00.
That was 1986
Tremendous! I was 3 years old but on my way to enjoying music
If only Hi-Fi Corner in Antwerp looked like this!
Ha, funny!
Hi, i'm Bruno, French and i live in France. I bought about 3 or 5 years ago a pair of spekers Dali Rubicon 8 . You shipped it over France and everything was perfect. I would like to know if it's possible to order again . Thank you.
Hi Bruno, it's good to hear from you! Of course just get in touch anytime.
@hi-ficorner what a good new, thank you so much, i'm look actually for a gold note IS 1000 or a P30 Hegel. I will look at the web site 👍🏾👍🏾
And it has parking. That’s saying something about Edinburgh.
Free parking and a bus stop right at the door!
Brick and mortar store, amazing rare nowadays, thought they were dodo. Would get lost in that place, too many toys there.
It's a bit of a labyrinth, and 6 Demo rooms!
Any Martin Logan….or Magneplanar’s . . . . ?
Cheers.
Peter
Martin Logan :)

Hi, sounds like a good system, how about a demo, or call us on 0131 556 7901. We'd be only too happy to help.
Hi there, with so many options to discuss it's best to get in touch with us directly to go though it all properly. Happy to help!
@ cheers for replying to my comment, appreciate the input. I’ll telephone you at some point, thank you. Best wishes
You should commission your own line of speakers from Haycross Audio.
I don't know if you noticed, but we have way to many speakers!!!
@hi-ficorner nobody has too many speakers 🧐
Nice store, missing dipoles speakers either cone or panel.
There are panels there from Martin Logan and quad 🎉
We do yes!
