About

Magnetic Tape Recorder, Inc. is your friendly local stereo sales and repair business. Keeping all the turntables of Louisville turning since 1956!

Story

Got a turntable you need a new needle or belt for? Looking for a stereo system for your new apartment, or a new pair of speakers? Do you have a record player already, but want to upgrade to something nicer? Maybe you've got an old receiver that needs to be repaired, need some speaker cable, or just have a few questions about the ins and outs of a reel-to-reel deck. We're the place to take care of all of that!

Founded in 1956, Magnetic Tape Recorder Company moved to our current location on the corner of Baxter and Payne in 1966. You've probably driven past our building 100 times! Our current owner, Charlie Green, took over the business in 1991 and has been running it ever since. Our two main techs, James and Ben, have been working with electronics for over 20 years. Your front-counter experience will probably be with Iain or Joseph, two young guys bringing some new blood to the old business.

We've got a lot of repeat customers, and see new faces all the time. Stop in and see us sometime!

I had NAD 2600 A power amplifier that I've had since 1990 while serving in the Military ...the channels were cutting out intermittently and finally got worse, took it here and James worked his magic, it took a couple tries taking back in but he finally found the main issue and WOW..it's better than brand new with all the work & upgrades done to it, it's well worth taking it to Magnetic tape, the only downside was that I had to take off work a Couple of Hours off of work early during the week because they aren't open weekends!...if they were open till noon Saturdays I'd give them 5 stars!

Excellent service. Truly lucky to have them around I drive from Lexington to have service done by them.

These guys were recommended to me by Craig at Underground Sounds (also a great place). James and the crew at MTR are extremely knowledgeable, courteous and timely. They're the only people to ever handle my turntable and audio equipment - even though I now live in Nashville. I would refer anyone to them for any audio need. They're legit. Thanks guys!

Bought a receiver and turntable from them two years ago. Sounds as good today as it did on day one. Great customer service. Total pros when it comes to stereo gear.
