"Hello Charles, Ella and Louis and Fourplay arrived today. These two difficult to get pressings were received in top condition as is always the case with you Charles.
The packaging was superb , as it always is , and it is apparent that you and your staff go to a lot of effort to provide a really first rate service . The whole process from ordering to receiving  is a real pleasure.Thank you once again and regards, Bruce" - July 2022


"I was attempting to find a MoFi release that I thought was sold out everywhere in Australia or overseas that had it listed. I noticed that it was listed as in stock on Audiophile Reference Recordings website. So I phoned to confirm and was informed that it was. The gentleman I spoke to seemed very happy to help. I placed the order and the record arrived very quickly in perfect condition. The care taken in packing it for postage was the best I've ever seen. I will definitely be placing further orders from this website and look forward to visiting the physical store on a future trip to Melbourne. Nick" - Jul 2022

"Hi Charles, Just a quick email to say 'thank-you.' I was impressed with the care and attention to the packaging provided for my recent purchase of limited edition box sets and other miscellaneous vinyl albums. As we all know, the fragile sticker on a box goes unnoticed by many postal staff, so I was pleased to see multiple layers of protective packaging on opening my goodies today. Please pass on my thanks to those involved with the delivery side of things within your business.I look forward to purchasing more audiophile albums in the future. Regards, Andrew" - Oct 20
