Great company, and Geoff is a legend in our industry
Just The Best audio Gear in The World
Good Day Fellow Audio Users
My tail is a cautionary tail when dealing with Geoffrey Tanner, and before I go into my experience I what to say that Geoff products and design in audio hardware sound awesome and stand up to hardware both past and present. Geoffs long history in the field of audio design has been full of great achievements and deserve a nod to those achievements and when I first reached out to him he was very responsive and and engaging, and a wonderful chap.
We went though my needs and wants and when my first piece of gear arrived it worked as I expected and even when in my first studio session someone knocked a mic stand into the equipment and one of the pots got damaged I reached out to Geoff and he replaced it with out cost, but I did get a scolding from him. Which I fond enduring to the man and his commitment to the product.
So Twenty years later the right channel went down on my GTQ2 ( Great Pre Amp) I called him on the phone and arranged to send it to him for repair. This is were it starts to go wrong for this was three years ago yes you read it right three years. I have sent so mean emails in regards to the repair i have lost count. Now Geoff is in his mid 70s and in the last few years as moved location back to his home his brother as past away and business is not what it was. These were all excuses Geoff has given me with parts delay, finance problems, working alone, can not afford shipping etc.
The shipping I offered to pay for and offered to arrange pickup and ……No response. So if you are looking to spend your hard earned money Geoff is not the person to buy from at 75 he is not going to repairing you equipment in closing I would like to say I’m not going to get my $2500 US investment back and if you are looking to perches new hardware i would like to recommend AudioScape .US, Tegalar Audio .Eur, Stam Audio Chili
Good Luck 🙂
Top notch sounding audio gear, but unfortunately no customer support, very unreliable. With all due respect to master engineer Geoff, I really regret ever buying a product from aurora audio. My unit now is collecting dust.
6. Starbucks
Address: 8241 Foothill Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 91040 , Sunland , California , United States
We met Rex at Larsen’s in Valencia, where he plays the piano in the bar. We loved his sound so much that we asked him to play at our wedding. He was amazing! He’s easy to work with and VERY talented!!
Drive thru currently closed
3ppl working at 9pm wasn’t cool but they did there best, fries needed salt but otherwise everything was decent..
sucks takes long and get your order wrong
I’m allergic to milk, so when I order food I always make sure there’s no question that my requests are heard and understood. When I drove thru and ordered a Filet O Fish, without cheese, I repeated it to the guy who took my order. He repeated NO CHEESE back to me. The girl who handed me my order repeated NO CHEESE back to me. Both receipts were emblazoned with NO CHEESE – including the one taped to the box which contained my sandwich. Inside was a Filet O Fish, with a half slice of CHEESE melting into the bun!
I looped around and showed the guy who took the order. He quickly remedied the situation with the proper replacement, but REALLY??!
Takes forever to get your food. Staff was friendly, but seems like they are understaffed and/or just slow. I’m currently sitting at the reserved drive through parking waiting for my food, its been almost 10 mins for 1 burger and a combo. Seems like they are frequently slow if they have a designated spot for you to wait for drive through. Most likely not coming here again, there’s another one about a mile and a half away, I hope that one is better.
11. Sunland Skate Shop
Address: 7830 Foothill Blvd, Sunland, CA 91040 , Sunland , California , United States
Bought several hats from them, no problems with any of the orders. Will buy from again and again.
Have had nothing but amazing service from my guys at Sunland Skate Shop, great range and awesome people make you want to shop here as often as possible.
My son had deck and went to buy everything needed for it . The salesperson was professional showed me all the options . Also had all the parts installed , it was put together nicely. Only advice for the business is to put price tags , for the dads on a budget . Overall great vibe to the shop .
DO NOT SHOP HERE Very Rude and Unprofessional customer service . I called them because I never received a confirmation email or any tracking updates. When I tried to give a call to the store the person started off very rude he goes by the name COLIN GILLIES (the guy on the phone ). So i processed to give him my info . He give attitude once i told him that the name he said wasn’t me. I spelled my name out for him and he began to rushing me to like shut up i got it i got it ! Then he gave partial details on my package and the status of it . Once I questioned him about the way he was speaking to me. He hung up on me. I tried calling back . But guess what he blocked my number . And then like 20 mins later send an email saying called dropped . If so how come i am unable to call back . Like i said very rude and unprofessional. I will never and i mean never shop here ever again . And to save you the trouble I wouldn’t bother. Very poor customer service. Highly DONT RECOMMEND !!!
Placed an order over a week ago and still waiting for it to arrive and when i check the shipping status it says shipping label created and i payed for 2 day shipping Would not recomend shopping online.
Buyer beware they steal your money
Wrong product shipped and no refund after return of goods
Never buy from them!
Zero stars
12. Quiet Thunder Music
Address: 630 N Orchard Dr, Burbank, CA 91506 , Sunland , California , United States
Amazing sandwiches and incredibly awesome staff!!!!
Croissants croissants croissants and the best chai in town (love mine with almond milk). Ambiance is excellent especially during evenings with live entertainment.
A fine family owned cafe.
Good pastry and sandwich l recommended
Who knew this gem was on Foothill East. We went for the Organic, fresh, delish salad and yummy dressings and ended with scrumptious Choc Truffles, fresh pie and dangerously tasty chocolate flourless cake.
Good food and service. Music way too loud and who picks the music in the morning???? Pay attention
Not what they pretend to be. Abusive to their staff and clients. Sketchy history they got kicked out of the last spot they were in Silver Lake. The neighborhood did not want them anymore. Disingenuous shysters.
THIS PLACE CHARGES DIFFERENT PRICES EVERY DAY. I GET SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH OATMEAL FOR 3 MONTHS. ONE DAY IT COSTS 6, ONE DAY IT COSTS 9, ONE DAY IT IS 12, AND THE NEXT DAY IT IS 14. WHAT MADE ME MAD WAS WHEN I ORDERED MY USUAL AND DROVE 2 MILES TO PICK IT UP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY WERE OUT OF OATMEAL. DO YOU WANT TO GUESS HOW MUCH I GOT CHARGED FOR JUST THE EGGS? 12 DOLLARS. FOOD IS HEAVY IN OIL BUT CAN BE DELICIOUS. SERVICE SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I visited Back Door Bakery before it burnt down and wasn’t terribly pleased, so I tried again when they moved up the street to their new location which was formerly a Starbucks.
In the harshest and most truthful way I can describe it, Back Door Bakery is here to prey on your obsession with home-cooked, organic food, which comes with two inherent issues. The first is that you’re paying top dollar for mediocre food. The prices there are horrendously large but you get the impression from their atmosphere and menu descriptions (and their direct verbal lies if you ask them about it) that the price is worth it because you’re dining on some nebulous, exciting cuisine that is rare to find at the hands of people who have both a talent and a passion for making it. The problem there is, you’re essentially getting diner quality food for a price too large to justify it, because it piggy-backs on trendiness and healthiness to impress you into opening your wallet.
The other inherent problem I mentioned though is that they’re not only over-pricing mediocre food and forcing you to pay extra for a sense of self-worth, but they’re also outright failing to deliver on the premise of the Back Door Bakery. At the risk of being too specific, I’ll simply say I have a source on the inside who tells me the food they’re using and the level of effort that goes into preparing it is lackluster. Let me put it to you this way – the owner’s husband is on kitchen duty frequently and he isn’t a trained chef.
If you’re after diner quality food, just drive up Foothill a short ways to Sweet Cherry’s Diner. You’ll pay less and enjoy it more. If you absolutely crave the arrogant delight of organic, home-cooked food and don’t care how much money you spend or how the food tastes, Back Door Bakery is your best bet until the Yellow Deli moves to the Valley.

Address: 9915 Commerce Ave, Tujunga, CA 91042 , Sunland , California , United States
Very nice friendly girl Suzy jon you the best castmer service always smiling and very nice attitude
My kids are addicted to the store and so am I great quality art supplies awesome toys and trinkets for the kids and an overall good shopping experience never too crowded and the people behind the register always have a smile
Very organized store. Great customer service
Lady in cash register was not nice when I asked if I could take in my tiny Chihuahua … Bought some water toys that broke right away, didn’t even last 30 mins. Quality was pretty cheap. I prefer their location in Colorado Rd , service is better and quality of their items is slightly better. Even their make up is good at Colorado Rd and I love their nail supplies for the price and quality.
This dollar store is ok, but they are always put of things.
Some prices are not priced as marked and not rectified- Cat
Their customer service needs to be improved they always walk around with a really bad attitude and no one to help you
Nothing is a dollar here .
I was in store today and during check out the register asked credit /debit and I said do credit please. Then she swiped my card then asked for my ID!!! I smiled and said first you swipe the card then you ask for ID?? which is funny. Then with a very bad attitude she said WHAT IS SO FUNNY. The customer service of this store is very poor, the register was so rude and I won’t shop from you again.
I just forgot to ask her name, otherwise I’d definitely mention her name.

18. Lusine Arutyunyan Piano Lessons
Address: 10141 Samoa Ave, Tujunga, CA 91042 , Sunland , California , United States
I cannot thank Lusine enough for the care and dedication she is showing my daughter at every piano lesson. Within a short few months, she was able to help my child pass the CMTA test with top scores in theory and a stellar performance. Lusi is kind, gentle, considerate, and has the highest educational skills any parent can wish for. My daughter loves her piano lessons and she is looking forward to see her beloved teacher every time. Thank you, Miss Lusi, we love you so much!
Can’t say enough good things about Piano Masters, Inc.!! We were referred to them by a professional musician as being a trustworthy company with expert technical craftsmanship.
Greg and Steve sourced the perfect grand piano for us and took the time to explain their process of; refinishing, regulating, tuning, and other detailed work performed to give us what looks and sounds like a brand-new piano!
They also helped arrange special care transport and gave us recommendations for reputable tuners in our area as we live outside of their service radius.
Their personal pride and enthusiasm for high quality and customer satisfaction came through in every conversation. Our experience was absolutely wonderful!
What a wonderful place!! Greg and Steve were amazing!! And so affordable!! Everywhere else was 3 times as expensive. Thanks guys!!
I had a fantastic experience buying a new grand piano from Piano Masters. Gregory and Steve went above and beyond to help me find the right piano and make sure I was happy with it. I wanted some custom additions to the piano including wireless connection to my computer/tablet. They worked with third party vendors to make sure what I was getting would meet my needs. They found a superior system for muting the piano and informed me of the options. They also made sure the system was installed and delivered with exceptional quality. I could tell that every step of the way Gregory and Steve were committed to making sure I would be happy with the result. And now that the piano is here I can say I am thrilled with the result. Thank you very much Gregory and Steve!
