Fantastic product and service

Fantastic product and the service at Holburn (Glasgow Audio in my case) was truly excellent. One star removed because I was never made aware of the delivery time. Other than that, the experience was top notch. I’d definitely recommend.

Glasgow branch is the only audio outlet…

Glasgow branch is the only audio outlet I know that allows you to audition turntable catridges (in-house).

Jesse had three turntables armed and good to go when I arrived. The listening experience was invaluble and it what good to discuss- in a relaxed manner-the various options before settling on the one for me.

As hassle-free as buying hi fi ever can be! Thanks Jesse.

Excellent service.

The item arrived in good time, and in perfect condition. I have played my record player, with the new stylus, and the records play beautifully. The service I received, when buying the aforementioned, was excellent.

Absolutely impeccable service 🤩👍 from Holborn Online.
Following online chat to discuss my enquiry, I was met with prompt, great service and a link to place my order. Excellent communication via email and goods despatched same day. Sadly the Royal Mail delivery arrived the next day with an empty Jiffy bag!!! I contacted Holborn immediately and Jesse provided faultless customer service and replacement order received by the next day. Can’t recommend the company and particularly Jesse highly enough. Thank you

Glasgow Audio

What can I say about Glasgow Audio that hasn't been said before. I was having problems with a B&W 804 D3 speaker
I passed the problem onto Jesse. As usual he dealt with this in his customery, helpful
and knowledgeable manner. He tested, located and repaired the fault and kept me informed at all stages of the repair.
I've always valued the service and advice I've received over the years from Glagow Audio and have no hesitation in recommending them when auditioning or purchasing your equipment. First class service.
