Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A satisfying and reassuring experience …

The only retailer I contacted who told me the whole picture of one of the items I had originally wanted. I dealt with three different people and all were very helpful indeed - their advice matched exactly what I had already gleaned. When I ordered one thing in error they rang, checked and altered the order. In all very friendly and thoroughly professional.

A very good website and and communication. Very slightly marred with delivery timings, but to be fair everything was arranged just before the long Easter weekend so all sins forgiven! Items delivered well packaged and as described. Thank you.

Excellent customer service

The service from Holborn Online was excellent. I was kept up to date on my order from when it was expected to be in stock to when it would be posted out and it felt like they went the extra mile.
I would definitely use them again.

I attended the Kudos / Ultrafide listening event yesterday at Glasgow Audio with my friend and had a brilliant time. Jesse, Mark and the team were friendly and very knowledgeable about every aspect of the audio gear on show. We listened to pre-selected test tracks, chose some of our own and Jesse threw in a couple of his own personal favourites. Overall, a fantastic 90 minutes spent at Glasgow Audio. Oh,and I got a very nice coffee and a Tunnocks Tea Cake.. what’s not to like!!
If you are thinking of getting to HiFi or need any advice, GA will help you find what you’re looking for.

Great service again from Jesse at GA

Great service again from Jesse at GA. Had turntable arm issues. Sorted brilliantly by a fantastic expert in this area, organised by Jesse. First class all round. Very happy. Calum.

Great audition with Jesse, he answered all my questions and was happy to swap out cartridges so I could make an informed decision. I'll definitely be using them again when I'm after a Gold Note phono stage later this year.

The Best retail experience ever!

Went to the shop not knowing exactly what I really wanted.
Anna made some recommendations, Jesse demonstrated the equipment.
Both listened to what I wanted, excellent recommendations, and I now have a sound system that works for me and all well within my budget.
Cannot recommend highly enough
