Amazing! For decades I hunted for a rare Jackal record. Discovered it listed on their website. Called to confirm it was in stock and the condition was as described. Not only did they take the time to check over the album while I was on the phone, but also called me back to confirm other details. The people I spoke with were super patient and kind. They packed the album safely for travel to the US and shipped it promptly. Hoping one day to visit the actual retail store!
Descriptions for vinyl are 110% legit. Bought 3 albums rated NM (near mint), all were in perfect shape (like barely played, if at all). No worries about buying from them again or concerns about their grading. Fair prices based on discogs.
I bought a pair of Klipsch speakers from John and his team last year. I called to inquire about them and was put directly in touch with John who offered to hold them with no pressure until I could make it in later in the day. I received personalized, friendly service from a knowledgeable staff and a product at a good price in excellent condition (there was a listing for the same set of speakers in worse condition at the same price point at the time of purchase so if I'm honest I was surprised that a storefront was able to compete with a private listing considering overhead etc). I've now been enjoying these speakers for about a year and they have not disappointed ever. Really appreciate them.
The Record Ctr. Is a treasure. If you love vinyl
And all the tech and ephemera associated with it, this place is for you. Staffed by knowledgeable and welcoming music lovers, the aisles are full of used (and new) vinyl and used / curated (!) hifi gear and the walls are covered in posters and cool stuff. A great place to go dissappear from the world for a few hours.

My personal best record store (they actually have 2 stores facing each other!) i've been to. Really good jazz selection. Good job guys!!
Lots of vinyl records. All in alphabetical order, and a mixture of both new and used vinyl is available. The prices are in line with Discogs listings, so don’t expect to be ripped off or get an amazing bargain.
Great little record shop with a large selection, new and used. Great selection of boxes sets and rarities as well. Last time I was in they were playing Jim Croce on the store system so you know the employees are awesome and have great taste.
Went in looking for replacement parts for my turntable...headshell...as the wires broke. Identified my issue, and Jeff who looked after me, took the time while I was there to coach me through in replacing the wires. If you are looking for top notch service, The Record Centre has it! It was worth the hour drive in from Almonte,.
Awesome and diverse selection, neat memorabilia on the walls. Terrific location in Hintonburg with free two hour parking near by. Excellent prices and even better customer service from a gentleman who looked a lot like Greg Allman.
Definitely the best record store in Ottawa. John and the rest of the people working here are always so nice and approachable and willing to share their expertise on equipment and albums. Love coming in here to see what's new.
Went to pick up a record I had ordered and bought a few weeks ago. Picked up at the second location across the street. I apologized for being so late to pick it up. The person working there was so chill and immediately took all my stress away!
Cheers Erica! I appreciate your calm demeanour and clear want to help people! I will be back.

This store really surprised me as I went In with my friend. They have a rather incredible stock of products and I most definitely will be going again to get a better look around!
Most impressive is that they have two different stores to house all the products they have available and offer them at really good prices!

Loaded with varieties. John pays personal attention to all customers. Akeem is an asset to this business. Loved these ultra rare pair of speakers.
The Record Center is located on Wellington St. In Hintonburg & is the best vinyl store in Ottawa.
Its Like a trip down Musical memory lane with all the nostalgic memorabilia everywhere and the amazing selection of record players and vintage stereo systems.
The staff are super friendly and the owner John is usually there to greet you or exchange music tastes and stories.
The vinyl collection is second to no one in Ottawa and make sure to check out the new arrivals bin first, for a hidden gem. Every genre under the sun is represented here and they pride themselves on their Jazz collection.
So if you are a vinyl enthusiast, make sure to have the Record Center on your must visit list!
