This guy is literally the Linus Tech Tips of Hi Fi audio, and I love it. Born and raised in Cali myself - these are the type of audio shops we need. Would love to come visit someday.
I worked at a audio store while in college and I ended up owing them money usually. This is a excellent high end audio store with equipment for the budget minded as well.
@TheRoswellCrash Disagree Place my feet up, keyboard in my lap, swing my monitor back in front of me and I'm good to go. With an active tech position covering a mammoth convention center/NFL stadium, interspersed with periods of desk/pc time, I valued the ability to work for periods of time with my feet up when back at my desk. It's ok, it's good for you ... Now if they remained feet up disrespectfully, past the point of being appropriate ... then no bueno. But yes, I promise, one can work effectively with their feet up
Nice share. Great set-up. Your passion and knowledge for analog and tubes are on display throughout the tour. Wish we lived closer. Looks like a great place to spend some time listening, learning, and dropping some cash. Best of luck!
As a full time professional orchestral musician ,I cannot say enough wonderful things about owning a PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP Integrated amp.Its not about accuracy more than it is about presence and emotional content.What an astounding piece of equipment.I would love to chat with you Kevin about tube rolling although the EL34s are glorious i would like more head room.Perhaps the Lingo4 will achieve this on my LP12 when its installed..
Hey it's good to see you consolidated into a business front. Can't wait to see it. Might want to have your camera guy clean his lens next time so there is not so much Goobers on it. At least he's shooting with a Camera stabilizer.
Great video Kevin! Thank you for sharing your space and passion. The brands you carry alone speak to your focus on getting the best to the listeners. I've been in solid state my whole life. Could you do a video on how to select a first tube amplifier? What should we bee listening and looking for?
Kevin you have a fantastic store boy done good, well done sir job well done. Shame your so far away if i ever come over the pond i will come and see you , if you open a UK store i will come and work for you best wishes from UK audio lover
Kevin is great to deal with! - even all the way from Canada (Penticton, BC). My two Prima Luna amps have been awesome (Dialog premium HP integrated - bought from him over two years ago). Thank you so much Kevin. Look forward to visit you someday! Awesome shop - brilliant videos. :)
I really should've sent my resume in for that entry tech position. I just didn't want to be irresponsible and inconvenience them by not having my car registered, but I live really close so maybe someday. In the meantime I really need some matched 6f6s, and 6j7 metal caps.
Kevin, I am eager and up for adoption in case you are interested . I would give an arm and a leg to work at Upscale Audio . Would never leave HiFi Heaven. A HiFi dealers dream.
Oliver Jones and the price to pay is usually a "shouty" sound that scratches your ears! Unless you guy for their higher end stuff. Remember, just as in life, even in hi-fi there's no free lunch!
@@harryhenderson792 No, you can not get it for 15K unless is salvage title with frame damage and 5+ previous owners. He probably bought it brand new for 150K.
Kathy Johns, It's really sad that people like you exist and make such conclusions! Seems like you're nowhere near a potential customer for the gear he is selling anyways, so go back to the kitchen!
D Stanoev Not necessarily true. Although it’s a nice showroom, I’m not inclined to buy from here as well for the same reason. You have no idea what that other guy or I am earning.
I may be in Arizona but I'm going to Upscale Audio when It's time to buy! Beautiful showroom and building.

Very impressive. Kevin is just beaming with pride as he shows off his beautiful, new store. I wish I could visit - but I would probably never leave.
What a great place. I would never leave.
Great video and even greater place you have there. I'm in the market for a great tube amp and this video makes me want to shop here. Great job, Kevin!
You have created a very nice business I'm sure it took a lot of hard work
Truly fabulous! I don't think anyone would blame you for wearing a cape! Congrats!

Profitable business your customers are supporting 😎
Sweet. Definitely man with the passion that was able to convert it o to do the business. Superb facility that I would love to work in.
Thats not a store, thats a hifi heaven!
The ladies like working with their feet up on the desk. Pretty laid back environment. Not bad.

Very nice! Do you audition your gear with all those speakers in the same room?
Looks like you beat The Wiz Kevin
Wow!
Shop stereo just like my pop's old one
Wow. Big place with a huge inventory! Let me know if you’re hiring, I promise not to sit and read comics! BTW, is the Telefunken sign original?
I think we know where he stands in the McIntosh vs Marantz debate ...

Gosh!!!
Jimi and Janis toilets, sweet. 1970 wasnt a good year for greater then average musicians :(

Because Klipsch is shite and this guy has taste.

Wow! If business is so good that you can afford that Porsche, you certainly don't need my business! I am off to the smaller and more needy....
