Zero stars! I must not have met Tim,, but a crabby, unhelpful and dismissive person who said he was the owner. Google says in store shopping, and I wanted to shop locally, so I drive 5 miles, to be told its appointment only. He didnt ask me what I was shopping for, as I couldve conducted my business mostly, at the door. There was nobody else in the shop except for one person, eating, obviously a friend not a customer. I said why dont you just let me come in (Im vaccinated) as theres nobody inside. No. Go away; not even a can you come back in 15 minutes when my friend finishes eating? THIS is why places like this deserve to be put out of business by Amazon! He just lost a potential large sale.

This shop is awesome. So is Tim the owner. If you’re looking for audio gear check this place out!

When I decided to put together a new system I went to all the stereo shops in SF and found Tone of Music was the perfect fit. Tim is extremely knowledgeable and offers thorough explanations to every audio question. Unlike the other places, he carries a variety of high end products suited to every budget and, more importantly, every ear. He was more than happy to audition different components and spin samples from his amazing record collection. Support this local business instead buying on the internet!

Tim is amazing. I told him my budget, space, and type of music I am optimizing for. He instantly narrowed down to the perfect option and I cant get over how good these sound. Incredible customer service from a sommelier of sound.

Great customer service as always. Dylan went above and beyond to help me out and answer all of my questions. He has created a lifelong customer. Great work guys!

Tim is super knowledgable and was able to answer all of my questions. I learned a ton and left with a turntable that was exactly what I was looking for. Definitely worth it to stop by when you are looking to make an upgrade.

The owner, Tim, is an extremely knowledgable audiophile and music lover. He runs his shop the old-fashioned way, inviting you to listen leisurely to all sorts of music on different high quality systems. He knows what he is doing and is also generous with his time, helping to design systems and willing to make make house visits. Definitely worth a visit.Donald M

Great experience and very happy with our purchase. Tim is patient, knowledgable, friendly and super passionate about audio. He stocks great gear at a range of price points.He listened to us and showed us turntable and amp configurations starting from low cost on up to high end. He had us listen to compare quality between price points and explained what you get for the increase in cost. He helped us put together a fantastic home audio system within our budget. I Highly recommend Tim and his shop.

Tim is a true professional. He has a passion for music. He is honest and provides you the necessary information so you can make a good decision. Its all about the music, not the equipmentHighly recommended!

I was looking for a replacement cartridge for my record player. Tim was super helpful.

This place has absolutely ridiculous customer service. Ive had my headphones break like 4 times and had them replaced on the spot with little to no questions asked. Totally worth the premium.

Helped me find a great preamp for my record player

Very knowledgeable, very friendly, second to none equipment

Best store.
