I needed a cable for my subwoofer and they helped me find the right one for my setup. I highly recommend checking out this store. They have an Impressive inventory of receivers, speakers, and record players for every audiophile.

Great selection, friendly people and audio equipment you can test drive in the store. I was looking for the items on a internet but purchased in this store after talking to friendly person at deciBel. Price difference was just about sale tax, value I received in knowledge is priceless.

I just bought my first turntable here. I thought the experience would be intimidating since I don’t know much about them. But the employee was really nice, explained basic differences, and didn’t pressure me to get something more expensive than I needed. Very happy with my purchase 😊

I cant say enough great things about Decibel and their staff. Tucker really knows his stuff. Picked up an integrated amp here last summer and a pair of speakers last week. Why do I love this place? Great gear. Great expert advice and they dont oversell you. Sure you can spend a fortune on high-end audio, but Tucker advises to your budget or to your needs and doesnt push you to buy something you wont get the most value from. That approach builds long term customer relationships. Major credibility and major respect, in my opinion.

Ive bought, sold, and traded with these folks and its always a great experience. The owner is also a good guy and treats people with respect. Some other stores have a few more brands that I prefer. Though, if you need turntable service or advice - deciBel should be in your top three for Chicago.

This place is great. I have purchased here several times and have never been let down. They have high-quality products (both new and used). The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. And the pricing has been very fair. I would highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Tucker is a stickler. The proper kind youre looking for when visiting an audio shop. As a self described phile, I was welcomed and taken care of quickly. Five stars.

Ive purchased two refurbished record players from the store and they have both worked perfectly and were in mint condition. The store even helped me to ship a record player to my parents outside of the state for an anniversary and handled every part of process – seamless!

The staff is absolutely amazing. They will let you demo some very nice equipment ranging from some harder to find (to demo) headphones, and some very nice audio setups. Going to this store is a fantastic experience even if you dont buy anything.

I inherited my grandmothers record player. Instead of charging me unnecessarily. They talked me through how to go about fixing it. They were very knowledgeable of a brand I have only heard of recently. Talked to a few diffrent places in the city. They were by far the best. Nothing but respect for their establishment.

Great place to go for audio equipment. They have a great selection of super high end stuff as well as refurbed stuff more in the mid-range.They also have a large selection of speakers, cables, and accessories and they do repairs as well.I picked up a nice dual-deck Onkyo tape deck for $80 that they had fixed up into like-new condition. The staff is very knowledgeable and not pushy at all.If you are looking for some audio equipment and have a little cash to spend then you should check out Decibel.

These guys know their stuff.In typical hipster fashion, I was in the market for a record player and didnt want to buy it from some box store like Urban Outfitters, so I walked over to DeciBel instead. I didnt know much (and still dont know much) about the best options/needs/requirements for setting up any sort of in home sound system.They walked me through most everything, I, knowing nothing, gave them wrong info. I ended up buying a record player that was refurbished and it didnt end up working. I took it back same day, and it turned out it wasnt something they would be able to fix quickly. So, instead of making me stick with a product that they could fix in time, they got me an upgrade to a brand new record player - for the difference of course.Through it all, they were excellent.
