I’m also near that shop, been inside several times and it really opened my eyes (and ears) to vintage audio. I love when they do live testing and sometimes you get to listen to some amazing gear being played casually. The prices are high but you don’t get the lottery of buying old equipment especially pre 90s, and some good advice on pairing etc.
What a great video! I loved it. Showed loads of gear we’d never see in the US. Stuff like Sugden, Quad, etc..great looking old speakers. When I see them I think of US equivalent brands like A/D/S and Advent.
Thanks for the walkabout Kelvin - some fascinating vintage kit on show there. I'm sort of glad I don't live in London any more as you'd never get me out of that shop!
A real treasure trove Sir many thanks for sharing I can spend my entire vacation in Charing Cross Road (for the bookshops) and in a shop like Audio Gold plus some recordshops All in all my idea of paradise.!
What an amazing shop , thanks very much for bringing us along for the ride. Some really amazing gear in there, I think I would live in there if that was round the corner from me . Really excellent content
Bought a few bits from there. Headphones (new) for dad. Nice old Sony headphones for wife. New Wharfedale speakers for me. Old tape deck for me. Great shop. Really great staff.
What a shop. Love the old stuff. Didn't see any Altec Voice of the theatre speakers though for that really good vintage sound. Good collection all the same.😊😊😊😊
Nice video Kelvin, a trip down memory lane for me, seeing all that gear that I used to covert as a youth. Quad has had some longevity hasn’t it. Desirable back then and still so now, same with Sugden.
Great shop, but you'll pay top dollar.. you get what you pay for though. I love my Ditton 66's, the domed mid is an absolute beast, and weighs a ton, you know it's gonna be good when you hold it. Also, those Mourdant Short Pageant 2's, they are an amazing speaker. Not all MS speakers were good, but they really were a cracking model, and well worth buying if you have the chance. .. nice work, Kelvin, i enjoyed that perusal.
What a big collection of high end hifi stereo equipments like amplifiers, receivers, tuners, turntables and speaker systems!! What i did not see here are the open reel tape decks and cassette decks. Almost all of them seems to be expensive British or European brands. Some unaffordable. I am a man living in South Asia but i wish i can go there to London to see and explore! Thank you for the tour!
I really enjoyed your Visio. In the 70’s my brother was really into stereos , I used to enjoy the big receivers “ Yamaha or Technics ,Denon, Sansui “they as the heavy tuning dial that spin freely through the stations. Really good sound.
Thanks Kelvin. I very much enjoyed your tour around this store. I hope you do more of these, with a mention of the prices being asked for some of the different gear, if possible.
I brought a set of AlR Jordan Speakers for a home cinema system in 2006 from Audio Gold when I was living in Crouch End. Still going strong. I hope when lock down ends I get a chance to visit them again. It’s a brilliant shop with fantastic staff. I have always had a positive experience.
Stereo review X, greetings. Thanks for showing these golden treasure. When I see these beauties which lead me to an emotional meltdown. Can't resist. I will share this to my friends. Again thank you.
super super video. Oh if only we had a shop like this still in Brum. We had a dealer called Griffin Audio. Never forget Bob Griffin I think he was called on Bristol Street. He dissuaded me from spending all the money I had as a young man and sold me a lovely used Cyrus one I still have now. Bought my rega 3 from him. I was an art student at Stourbridge art college and Bob had art in his hi-fi shop, like big oil paintings. In Birmingham in the 90's that was something to see. This video is like being a kid in a sweet shop. Great stuff Kelvin.
Brilliant trip down memory lane! My Exposure XI XII, VIII is still my main amplifier - beautiful fluid, detailed musical sound. I just got a new DAC and I hear even more detail now. There's more life in the old girl yet - next upgrade some tasty cables. All the best, Rob
What an amazing shop! Love to go there and enjoy myself, all my hi fi is generally vintage and to me it sounds amazing and more natural than modern stuff
Wonderful. It was great to wander round the shop with you. As a man of a similar age I loved seeing the products - some of which I owned or still own. I bought Celestion Diiton44s in 1975 - and still ran perfectly when I dispached them in 2017. I was GIVEN as a nieve 17yr old a Thorens TD166MkII on a homemade plinth, but I like you didnt give it enough time and got rid of it , I still shout at myself once a year for that. So thanks again for this lovely trip round the store - so much so Im going to make trip down after lockdown and visit it. Cheers
Dream shop. I noticed the Meridian 600 series Beautiful 602/606 Transport/DAC combination. I have some mint 605 mono's if they want them to make a set? Swaps for vinyl ;-).Thanks for the great tour.
What a shop not seen anything like that before it reminds me of richer sounds when they first opened kit stacked everywhere but mainstream manufacturers
Incredible store, you’re a very lucky man to live so close. I live in upstate New York and I have two shops and the one rarely has used gear and the second shop is mainly a repair shop that also sells a small selection of used gear but nothing new except replacement parts and cables and wire type gear. Vintage gear is making a huge comeback here in the states so maybe a new shop will pop up or the two here will start to get more stock. Thank you and great video.
A stroll through memory lane. Growing up in the 70's-80's my dad was heavy into stereo equipment. I wish I had all of it but I did manage to get a good portion of equipment I keep in my stereo room. I had and having all of my equipment refurbished, my old wood speakers redid the wood...almost done!
Bottom of Muswell Hill! My folks used to live in Crouch End. Nice to know there’s still specialist shops round there. Those lovely names from the 1960s and 70s: Quad, Sugden, Rogers, Spendor .... very, very thankful for a bit of memory lane.
Love watching this video will have to pop down there one day I live in Huntingdon and in the day we were the town for Audio for quad mission cyrus audiolab meridian tag mclaren. So miss the day of the hifi culture sold all mine but now looking to get a turntable and seeing those linn sondek lp12 had me drooling
Hiya Kelvin …. Super addictive channel you have … LOVE IT …. Maaaaasn you need to do an open / Live UA-cam STREAM AMand have a QnA SESSION As you knowledge is vast and very much respected my friend …. QUALITY ALL THE WAY … keep on keeping on … I could not help but notice the shop had a favourite bit of kit that my late Father loves and that was the aiwa mini combo 22 series …. SUPERB … Kelvin your the Man …. HAPPY DAYS … this is LONDON BERMONDSEY CALLING 👍
This is definitely a place to visit for vintage enthusiasts. It was actually here that I heard the Setton RS-440 for the first time and became quite intrigued that receiver and the collection (RS-220, RS-440, RS-660). I haven't found a better shop around London... probably doesn't exist. But this is indeed the place to visit.
Keeping it fresh mr K, jolly good idea...Yes, I salute this my local, like entering Willy Wonkers Chocolate Factory I had my sansui sx1130 serviced here a while back I remember the store manager ask if I would consider selling. Of course I still have the mighty beast .. Refreshing video...Will let you know what how new toy au2200 performs when it arrives....by the way good people run this shop and they do know their s##t/ helpful....
I am still smiling... Mr K is right when he says it hits you in the tummy when the sound is right... sooo true. For little money £100 your speakers come alive and you are seduced by sumptuous sound ... I rate these way above Marantz 2265b - as not edgy/ annoying at all. You can almost visualise a composer pointing, nodding and smiling on every note as your private band plays in your SANSUI AU-2200 SPECIFICATIONS Power output: 10 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Frequency response: 30Hz to 22kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.8% Signal to noise ratio: 75dB (line) Channel separation: 45dB (line) Dimensions: 400 x 120 x 240mm Weight: 5.5kg Year: 1975

Very good video. I have visited Audiogold many times. In Oct 2019 I listened to loads of classic speakers under £1000 price point. Very close to getting Celestion 33 but was played Imf ts 50 & they sounded amazing . Fantastic price as well . If you want something unusual & classic its worth a visit. It's always worth looking at Retrotech & HiFi Hangar as well. I have bought equipment from all 3 . Btw they sell vinyl as well.
Makes a nice change to see you out and about, especially during lockdown 🤪. Looking at the price tags on their website reminds me of the old gag “The items are oldey worldy but the prices aren’t old fashioned!”
Hey Kelvin great video l just bought A NAD 7125 receiver love that British pipe and slipper sound so smooth on the top end. It sure has a suductive sound and it's only 25 watts.
In US, it's not easy to find like this shop but please come to Seoul, Korea. there are many professional Vintage shop at designated building. New equipment as well.
In the Netherlands there's a similar shop. It's smaller, but it is run by two audiophiles who love what they do. I got a Denon PMA-1060 amplifier from there. It's a perfect match to my new Wharfedale Lintons. The shop has a big storage in the back with a lot of gear that needs reurbishment. If you ask nicely, the owner shows you around.

Hi Kelvin, to proof im a real fan, i bought a sansui 331 receiver to built a second System vintage style. Dual 1219 + klipsch Quartets. "Less Bass and delicate treble" should work well together with klipsch heritage beasts. Next week the receiver will hopefully arrive in good condition. My First System is a ultra highend tube amp from germany + Spendors for the perfect british BBC sound :) geetings from germany
@@stereoreviewx Hi Kelvin, today i carried the klipsch quartets in my basement to store em for a view days. 5 Minuten later the Postman arrived to deliver the sansui 331. .. So therefor i tested the sansui with my Dali Oberons 86 db !!! at first And it suprisingly transported realy a lot of Power to drive then well. The Oberons are treble ctitical speakers too. But the sansui did the Job very good. Smooth top end,mids on the warm side. Soundstage very satisfying. Voices Sound pretty realistic, this is the most important property for me. Im already shur these soundcaracteristics will work fantastic with the klipsch quartets especially because the sansui is not too Bass heavy. Overall a smooth, clear, well balanced hifi-vintage experience. Delicate ;) Im happy with the sansui even in comparison to my ultrahighend tube amp. I do not regret the investment. You did not promisse too much. Im Looking forward to built my second System with the sansui by the end of next week. Thanks for all the valuable Information on vintage gear. Your Chanel is very entertaining. Good vibes to you from nuremberg Germany. ;)

Great shop and service. I bought my Thorens TD-160 MKII there. I was able to try out different cartridges and found the right one for me. 👍🏼👍🏼
A real treasure trove Sir many thanks for sharing I can spend my entire vacation in Charing Cross Road (for the bookshops) and in a shop like Audio Gold plus some recordshops All in all my idea of paradise.!
Thanks for showing us around Kelvin.Stay safe and God bless.
Make special visit to shop whenever in London, always a treat. Great vintage gear and vinyl records.
What an amazing shop , thanks very much for bringing us along for the ride. Some really amazing gear in there, I think I would live in there if that was round the corner from me . Really excellent content
What a lovely trip down memory lane, if only I had a time machine, but there the next best thing
In a London area audio shop. love it
Bought a few bits from there. Headphones (new) for dad. Nice old Sony headphones for wife. New Wharfedale speakers for me. Old tape deck for me. Great shop. Really great staff.
Ooooh! Awwww! Incredible! Thanks for sharing.
I would be like a child in a sweet shop I wouldn't know where to look first, really enjoyed this video Kelvin many thanks. 👍
What a shop.
Love the old stuff.
Didn't see any Altec Voice of the theatre speakers though for that really good vintage sound.
Good collection all the same.😊😊😊😊
Nice video Kelvin, a trip down memory lane for me, seeing all that gear that I used to covert as a youth. Quad has had some longevity hasn’t it. Desirable back then and still so now, same with Sugden.
Smashing video seeing all this old stuff
I have driven past this store while @ work many times over the last 7 years, & have always wanted 2 have a look around.

Kelvin l could spend days in that shop! Fantastic vid mate brilliant!
I still like my SME headshell with the 3009 Mk_II (improved) arm. I even purchased second one many years ago before they became "collectable" on ebay.
I really enjoyed your Visio. In the 70’s my brother was really into stereos , I used to enjoy the big receivers “ Yamaha or Technics ,Denon, Sansui “they as the heavy tuning dial that spin freely through the stations. Really good sound.

Thanks Kelvin. I very much enjoyed your tour around this store. I hope you do more of these, with a mention of the prices being asked for some of the different gear, if possible.

I brought a set of AlR Jordan Speakers for a home cinema system in 2006 from Audio Gold when I was living in Crouch End. Still going strong.
I hope when lock down ends I get a chance to visit them again. It’s a brilliant shop with fantastic staff. I have always had a positive experience.
I'm sure the record deck is a project one. Great video been watching your channel a while now keep up the good work.

Put your amp power cable direct to mains without sharing sockets will sound 10 times better. All other power leads to other socket.

Top trip as allways, so enjoyable, thanks dear
Drooling ripe fruit,wonderful,hands on you own it,unlike where we seem to be heading.
When everything back open I’m going to visit the shop as I live in sw London
I used to live in Pembroke road near here . My Arcam cd , amp and Acoustic energy speakers were my kit at that time
Bang and Olufsen now

The Tannoy speakers at 8.00 minutes are Tannoy Eaton Legacy speakers - I've got a pair!
If that shop was near me I'd always be broke, thanks for the video!
Some incredible vintage high end audio stuff here in this shoppe. Can't find any place in the USA quite like this!
Just bought some Ditton 44's, will collect after lockdown, can't wait!
Once I got Dittons I won't settle for less than 12" woofers, especially those ones. Wonderful doped paper units!
good speakers, had 3 or 4 pairs over the years (and still have a pair in storage) heavy heavy bass that can only be reproduced by a huge 12" woofer
Just gently tighten the driver mount screws
I have ditton 442s which are basically an updated 44.
(Also have 44mk1s in storage...)

Should pop in that shop soon or later 😁 thanks for shearing with us
lovely staff in there, stuff to suit every budget too.
Allways wanted to go there.
In US, it's not easy to find like this shop but please come to Seoul, Korea. there are many professional Vintage shop at designated building. New equipment as well.
In the Netherlands there's a similar shop. It's smaller, but it is run by two audiophiles who love what they do. I got a Denon PMA-1060 amplifier from there. It's a perfect match to my new Wharfedale Lintons. The shop has a big storage in the back with a lot of gear that needs reurbishment. If you ask nicely, the owner shows you around.

I think you have rifled through my old hi fi history ,quad,leak,thorens,tannoy .
Pure treasure, cheers Kelvin
Holy hell!.i wish i could.go to a place like that in here
That Trio receiver was insane guitar and mic rophone inputs and analog signal processing.
That must have been at the front of the receiver wars vanguard.
I would be interested in your opinion on some of the smaller utilitarian products made in Britain.
