Calling all music buffs! If you haven’t checked out Lotusland Electronics and Music, then make that an item on your to-do list. It is a real paradise for buying and selling audio equipment and vinyl records.
Pretty much everything in the store is pre-owned, so their selection is not only vast but also timeless. From old school receivers and turntables to modern wireless speakers, these guys will help you find what you need, and most importantly, in your price range. The staff at Lotusland has always been helpful and knowledgeable.
My first visit there was after buying a turntable at a garage sale. The owner, a lovely man, tuned it up for me, and helped me find speakers and a receiver that were suited my musical needs: loud music for when I’m cooking or cleaning :) I’ve been there several times since, mostly to browse through their records and add to my collection. The store is super organized, which I love, and the guys know their music! Ask them an album title and they’ll tell you if they have it, and which box to search. Saves you time when you’re got something particular in mind.
Whether you’re in search of audio equipment and/or vinyl records, make sure to pop in to Lotusland. Hidden in there is that album that will bring you back some good memories.
