I had an outstanding experience at Hippoβs while shopping for high-end audio gear, and I feel compelled to highlight the exceptional service I received from Audio Curator Nicholas (Nick) Shippey. Nick is, without exaggeration, one of the most knowledgeable people Iβve ever met when it comes to audio. What really stood out was his approachβthere was absolutely no pressure to buy anything. Instead, he took the time to genuinely understand what I was looking for and patiently answered every single question I had. I spent several hours with him on my first visit, diving deep into different equipment and concepts. When I came back the next day, he went even furtherβhe troubleshot two of my amps completely free of charge and walked me through everything he was doing so I could actually learn along the way. Itβs rare to find someone who combines deep expertise with that level of honesty, patience, and generosity. If youβre serious about high-end audio and want guidance you can trust, I canβt recommend Nick highly enough.

I bought a projector from Hippo's, and paired with the Vividstorm screen, the results are fantastic. The picture is clear and bright, making the viewing experience even better. The installation was smooth, and I have to commend their teamβvery professional and friendly, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I'm really satisfied and highly recommend them!

Great experience purchasing my new Maggies and RELs from Al. Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and decades of audio experience. Al hooked me up with REL specialist Nick to discuss connections, phasing and more. Couldn't be happier on a Friday night. The sound is phenomenal! Thanks guys. I'll be back.

Hippos team provided wonderful customer service and advice throughout the entire process on our project to get a TV and speakers installed in our family room. The installation and tech team were friendly and knowledgeable, with their work being top notch. After the job was done, if I had any questions they were quickly answered--- you get a true sense they care about their customer and work!!
