Port of Sound Record Shoppe

Place is mostly empty. Guy that owns it doesn't engage in conversation. It's like he really doesn't care about being a record store. 🐟🐠

Port of Sound is awesome. The selection at this place is HUGE! Its crazy cause we didnt expect much from the outside but were blown away when we stepped inside. We spent a long time here just browsing. I honestly wanted to buy the whole store haha, they have so many gems here and they keep everything pretty organized. They even have anime/video game records! All the genres you wouldn't really expect to see at other places.

Deals are great here. Still scratching my head over why the store is still half empty after the total store buy out a while back🤔🤔🤔 also the hours here are treacherous. 11-2 only . Please adjust. Other than that this is a cool shop in a good location

Great store. Very organized. Clean, tidy. Decent amount of people coming in and out. Very much a millennial crowd. 90% of the store and I'd imagine their sales are from digital sound vs analog. Which appeals certainly to main stream. Those buying the newer record players this is right up your alley. No turntables sold here but plenty of support the vinyl collector. Posters too! I felt prices were high but also comparable to most shops of the like. Will absolutely go again.

So shocked to discover the best record shop in Orange County is located so close to home. Loved their layout with the space they had and how they set up drawers under the crates. Dopest record selection I’ve seen outside of LA.

Horrible customer service. They think they are doing you a favor by providing status of your online order. They don’t respond to their emails when order status is requested via email. They don’t answer their phones and when they do they are unresponsive and rude and hang up the phone. Their claim/excuse is they have one person doing everything. Well they need to have more people if they are running and operating a business like a record store. If not they should instead go run a lemonade stand operated by one person. Never doing business here again. Stay away !!

I recently bought an expensive record from Port of Sound's online store. They shipped it to me a few states away, very carefully packaged. I had been looking for this record for years and Port of Sound had the best price I've seen on it in years. Fantastic store; will buy from again.
