Quality Electronics

I’m a music producer and songwriter based in L.A. I ran into Yoni (the owner of QE) at a Hollywood electronics shop two days ago and he overheard my conversation about needing a jack to fix my favorite old power amp. The Hollywood electronics shop couldn’t help me, but Yoni invited me to stop by his store, Quality Electronics, to see if they had a part that could help fix my unit. I stopped by QE the next day and Yoni and his tech found the correct (and obscure) part within two minutes and sold it to me for a few bucks. I took it home, soldered in the jack and fixed the unit. Yoni didn’t pressure me to have the unit fixed at QE – he was very fair, generous and a straight-​shooter. I since learned that he is the go-​to guy for pro audio gear and repairs, as well. I’m now a loyal QE customer and I encourage everyone else to see them for repairs, DJ equipment and other pro audio gear. I never knew a thing about Yoni or QE a few days ago, but he did me a solid and deserves this A+++ review. I RARELY take minutes out of my busy day to write crap like this, but Yoni and QE more than earned this.

Back about 15 years ago when I was still playing vinyl I would see Yoni for all my DJ needs. it’s been about 10 or some odd years since I’ve last been to quality electronics and I took my son today to go buy a turntable. This dude is still on his grind and I have to say the name fits his service, quality. He has hard to get stuff and great prices. I highly recommend buying from this spot.

QE is awesome! The staff is very friendly, easy to talk to and helpful. They have all sorts of cool music equipment for sale. I brought in my modded TR-​505 and they did an excellent job refurbishing it. Not only did they refurbish it they manage to fix the broken kickdrum knob and it is incredible now! I just outlined my issue on a peice of paper prior to going there explaining my issue (aswell as calling them) and brought it in to them. Next time I will go online aswell and find a schematic for my instrument to provide them with additional information.
QE exeded my expectations with the work they did on my instrument and they did it for a fair price and I got it back in just a few days.
I recommend anyone into electronic music and DJing to check out there shop!

Very bad attention, they dont have what i’ve looking for. Nobody in the shop speaks spanish either!

Yoni is the man. Hes not just the owner of the business, but he knows his products and can anwer any questions you may have. I went in there to look around and came out with an M96xE cartridge. Places like this are rare these days, but its no wonder his establishment has lasted the 30 years that it has. I will DEFINITELY return.

Welp. This place rules. There is no place in town that compares in terms of turntable gear /​repair /​accessories. This place is an audiophile’s dream. . You can walk into this store today and find MOST if not all boutique /​hard to find needles /​cartridge combos here. The DJ section is one thing, great in itself, but outside of that, you’ll truley be surprised with what they have in stock. Forget eBay, come here for your Turbtable hard to finds. .
Now, let’s get into the repair … Let me just say I had a Tone Arm replaced on a Technic 1200. my Marantz Receiver /​Natural Sound Pre-​Amp overhauled it cost me right around $ 300. Oh he also tossed in a new Headshell /​Cart combo and gave me a sweet 2LP album to play with. This guy rules. . Long story short his honesty and transparency made a long process of trouble shooting and driving back and forth a non-​issue .
I’ll be stoping in from time to time just to say hi. Good guy this owner.

It’s so interesting to see others comments about a business I may never known existed if not for the recommendation from a cool-​ass sales tech at another business.
Word of mouth is the BEST!
From email to phone conversation to meeting in person, I received nothing but great energy from the owner Yoni and his staff. watch dog included.
My Korg M3−88 started giving me touch screen issues about a month ago, prior to MLK weekend. Prior to this particular weekend I had big Hollywood performance set for the 18^th as a singer, but I was planning to upload new music I had produced on the Korg onto my website.
A day before the performance I searched online to see if others were experiencing issues with the Korg as well. To my surprise not only were folks having the same issues but I learned that Korg had not only discontinued the M3 but any parts etc. in reference were simply unavailable. This one guy had posted a youtube of how to fix the problem but knowing my level of tech skills I wasnt willing to chance operating on my baby of 8 years. And this also would mean that 8 years of unreleased music was in jeopardy of being lost for possibly good.
This made me a lil uneasy.
If you’ve ever lost a harddrive, then you know the feeling.
But that’s the thing about the divine universe, good karma, yoga, meditations and just being cool with people all around.
After weeks of uneasy nervousness and coming down off a performance high, reality kicked in… and I finally returned to the vendor of which I purchased the Korg M3– 8 years ago and inquired with one the sales techs on a recommendation of how to fix my out of warranty workstation/​sampler.
Without hesitation he wrote down the number and name… Quality Electronics.
That night I searched their website.
I was pleased with the site and sent QE an email.
I actually sent a couple of emails.
I then followed up with a call.
And the next thing I knew I was loading up the M3 and bringing it into the shop.
Here’s the thing, I did my homework… I knew this was something that I did not have the time or skills to achieve but this was very important to me. So important that I didn’t even ask how much it would cost to fix.
Upon arriving I parked on one of the side streets before the shop and walked around to the shop to make sure I was at the right place. I identified myself as the one with the Korg M3 and Yoni introduced himself as the owner.
Right off the back… great energy, good vibe, awesome dude… and dog!
So here’s the thing… I dropped the M3 off last thursday (one week ago).
But when I dropped it off… I forgot to leave the part that I had previously ordered. So I brought it back the next day as promised.
As I’m at smart & final this past Wednesday picking up some food items, I was in the neighborhood of Quality Electronics. For a split second I had the idea to either call or drop by to see how things were going. I even checked my phone to see if there was possibly any missed calls.
No sooner than I had the thought, with a handful of groceries… my phone rings.
I put the groceries down and answer… the voice on the other end says…“Hello…it’s Yoni”…I’m like …“who?”…he’s like «Yoni from Quality Electronics»…
I’m like No-way…awesome…good news?
He’s like …“yeah…good news… hard work… but good news… it’s done… but it will be a little more because it was a little more work than expected…“
I’m like…“ok…”…He’s like …“It will be $ 145.00″…I’m like «OK-DONE…I see you tomorrow»
My Korg M3 was fixed in less than one weeks time!
The moral of this Review:
If you can fix it yourself… then have at it.
Good luck… you will probably need it.
If you know you are not capable of doing something someone else is an expertise in… then you pay to go & get the job done… and just be confident that all will be good.
Nothing to loose all to gain.
Quality Electronics has been around forever and in my opinion is one of those best kept secrets… but Santa Monica Blvd is busy in that area… so it’s easy to miss. But just remember it’s one block from Whole Food Market just before Fairfax.
I found nothing sketchy about Yoni.
He is a fair dude and cool business man.
If anyone knows anything about being an entrepreneur and starting your own business, it is far from easy.
We are all here to help one another.
By knowing what you want and being clear about it
and making good sound choices by having human conversations with
people you are doing business with, you can not go wrong with the outcome.
People need to take a look in the mirror before calling someone sketchy.
We all have feelings ya know.
Thank you Yoni!
I’m forever in a debt of gratitude for this fix… and I will be back to check out your vinyl.
PEACE!!!

Very, very sketchy dude. Brought in my vintage player for a new needle. Player subsequently started skipping and sounding like shit, so I brought it back in. He charged me again, made the skip go away, but the player never sounded the same again. Just had to order a new one to replace mine, which I loved. I’m not even bothering bringing it back, ’cause this guy is such a dick. I know the record repair options in town are limited, but save yourself the time and money.

Quality electronics is the best place to get what you need and when you need it. They offer outstanding customer service and are the best in the business when it comes to DJING. This is the place to come if u need supplies or need a fix and well done service.

I had a really good experience here. Despite some of the other reviews mentioning that the owner is a hustler, I have to 100% negate these statements. This guy has been 30 years in business and that speaks for itself. I will recommend this store to everyone who is seeking repair work. Good job guys!!!

The quality of the equipment was good.
Bad customer service.
The speakers were delivered 2 hours LATE and threw a huge wrench in my event. I paid extra for delivery. I would have saved money and not been screwed if I just picked them up myself.
When asking for a partial refund of the delivery, they were super nonchalant and I am yet to even hear back from them. If you need delivery, forget it. If you want a refund that they really should give you, forget it.

Great customer service and convenient location! Awesome place to check out new DJ equipment!
They also repair equipment with a $ 35 minimum fee. Very useful if you need a quick fix.

Hmm I’m really on the fence about this one. So yes, my stuff came back to me all fixed (replaced the master fader on my Pioner mixer, and also grounded my cable in my Technics turntable) it’s just, I can see why people can be iffy about this place though. The way that the owner pitches you the price, and then after a bit of hesitation (because I was still contemplating whether I wanted my turntable grounded) he lowered the price for me by $ 20. Just a little bit sketch, that’s all.
I was very skeptical about coming here in the first place because of the reviews, but when waiting around in the parking lot that day, someone who had just dropped off his gear for repair was telling me that he has had consistently good repairs from this place and that he keeps coming back, so I guess that’s a good sign that despite the price, you will probably still get good repair work from this place.

This guy’s a hustler, don’t trust him. Period.

Yanni (hope I’m spelling it right) and his team went above and beyond. I brought them a busted pair of Technics and they fixed them for a more than reasonable price. They sell records here too.
Will be back, would recommend.

I’ve been shopping at Quality Electronics for probably about 15 years and have always been very happy with the service. The owners are really nice and know a lot about their products. I’ve had a few turntables repaired there too and they’ve always done the job quickly and I’ve never had a problem. Not sure about some of the people on here that said they were rude but I’ve never experienced anything but polite service!

Brought my turntable and receiver here for service. Wasn’t really sure what the problem was (if there were any real problems at all). The gentleman (owner) told me that he would have his technician take a look at the components. I asked him what the charge would be to look at the gear. He responded very clearly that there was no charge, that he would let us know what the issues were, if any, and then would let us know how much it would cost to fix the issues. Seems like a perfect repair shop, right?
Nearly a full week went by with no contact from the store. After six days, I get a call from the same gentleman telling me that my receiver and turntable were ready to be picked up and that they had already DONE all the necessary repairs. Regardless of what the price would be, I was already livid. This was definitely not what I thought would transpire. He said the turntable repair was $ 65 and the receiver was $ 35. $ 100 that I possibly wouldn’t have spent on this gear. Not a lot of money here, people, but again it’s the principle of the transaction that really irked me.
Lastly, this guy also attempted to sell me an additional pre-​amp for my set up because «my receiver didn’t have a dedicated phono input.» When he put my receiver on the counter, I very clearly pointed out the ‘Phono’ button on the front.
It’s sad that this guy needs to resort to shady tactics to put money in his pockets to keep his lights on. I will definitely go elsewhere next time!

Best place for Technic turn table repair in LA! In and out in no time.

GREAT REPARS!
You can always judge a man by his dog. In this case, sweet pup Luk the dog reflects ever-​so-​well the experience I had here with his owner, Johnny. From my first phone call til I left the store with my swiftly-​repaired record player, Johnny was awesome. It only took 2 hours to fix and was very reasonable. I hope my record player never breaks again, but if it does, I know where to go now! Also, they have some cool old records for sale
