A hi-fi shop in Brisbane gives you the chance to hear audio equipment and check how it works with the system you already own before you buy.

Specifications matter, but they only tell part of the story. Bring some music you know well and you can compare selected amplifiers, speakers, turntables, cartridges and streamers using recordings that give you a familiar reference point.

Compatibility matters too. A cartridge needs to suit the turntable and tonearm. An amplifier needs to work with your speakers. A streamer needs the right connections for the rest of your system.

Sometimes the problem is physical rather than electronic. We've seen turntables where replacing the original tonearm with another brand means the dust cover can no longer close properly. The components work, but the complete turntable no longer works as intended.

At The Groove Man in Red Hill, we look at what you already own, what you listen to and what you want to change. We stock hi-fi and audio equipment across a range of budgets, and you can listen to selected equipment before deciding what suits your system.

Bring some music you know and come in for a listen.

The best vinyl record storage in Australia keeps records upright, supported and away from the heat, humidity and direct sunlight that can damage a collection.

Don’t stack records flat. The combined weight puts pressure on the records at the bottom, while poorly supported records can lean and place uneven pressure on the vinyl and sleeves.

We designed 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 for proper 12 inch record storage. Each crate holds around 75 to 80 records, supports them vertically and gives record covers enough height to stay protected. The crate stacks when you’re using it and collapses when you’re not.

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼. A cool room with a reasonably stable temperature is a much better place for vinyl than a hot Australian garage, shed or position beside a sunny window.

For the records themselves, anti static inner sleeves help protect the playing surface, while outer sleeves reduce wear to the artwork and jacket.

Good vinyl storage starts with three things: keep records vertical, keep them supported and keep them away from excessive heat and moisture.
