Trance music was playing loudly in the store, he asked to make it quieter, the seller listened, then turned the volume back up. It was impossible to be like in a club, the embarrassment that I smoked. The seller was busy with his own business and was not friendly or interested in helping, although he responded to specific questions. He showed me where to look for something and went behind the cash register, looked at the monitor... There is a record player for listening, to hear the jambs cleanly or to see that the record is a wave (I got one there). The headphones fit directly on the ears, which is not hygienic, the embrasures do not touch the head (I am not lop-eared)). It was problematic to check (put on a turntable and go through the tracks) several records, because help yu self.. take off the film yourself, pull out the envelope, pull out the disc, then put it all back together... the cellophane was removed from some of them hard, together with his wife they barely pulled it off, then they also pulled it on. It left the impression of an inhospitable host/seller who doesn't care what happens in his shop. The choice is normal, different genre, different prints, there are about three or four dozen Japanese prints. There are old ones, there are new ones, the condition is mostly good, but I got a couple of unusable ones. Some have traces of washing and stains from water. We need to look carefully. As a result, I didn't buy anything. It is extremely difficult to try to hear something in headphones and evaluate the recording quality at least approximately when music is booming around.

An excellent selection of records and discs. The store itself is small. Price tags are present on the records and discs. There is a website, but it is very inconvenient in terms of search. It is easier to search directly in the store itself.

A great store. Vinyl and CD are presented, there is more vinyl and there are all styles from jazz to metal. The prices are very reasonable, you can listen to the records before buying. This is the best vinyl store in Istanbul that I have seen.

Good choice, affordable prices. If you ask the seller, he can play the record he likes.
