The Tweak Shop

We are a High End Audio retail store. All of the products on these pages are available through our shop. We carry audio equipment and accessories from a very select list of manufacturers and distributors from around the world, with an emphasis on those products that, we feel: A) best convey the power and emotion of real music, and B) provide the hi... ghest level of performance, build quality, and esthetics for the dollar. The Tweak Shop has been in business since 1984 supporting the High End Audio community here in the Northern San Francisco Bay Area. This is a family business, co-owned by myself (Elliot Kallen) and my wife Cara. We believe strongly in the axiom, "Trust Your Own Ears", and we encourage our customers to ween themselves from reliance on other peoples opinions (even our own!) and to simply relax and have fun. Most audiophiles got into this hobby for the music (it certainly wasn't for the girls!!) and, every once in awhile it's good to remind ourselves that, Hey!, this isn't Life and Death, IT'S ONLY AUDIO! Many, many years ago we published a rather large (225+ pages) catalog that was fondly refered to as "The Tweak Manual" by our customers. In it, we'd publish review reprints from some of the better High End magazines, as well as some of our own essays, opinions, and how-to articles. Sadly, the cost of such an enterprise became prohibitive, and the catalogs have become collectors items (and, sorry, we don't have any "hanging around").Read More
