August 30, 2022:  Welcome to the new Reno Hi Fi website!

We're excited to have the new website up-and-running and we thank you for your patience while we were working to build this site.   

Daily messages will be posted here, on the NEWS page.  (Formerly, daily announcements were posted on the "In Stock Page.")

News Page copied from our old website (older news):

July 26, 2022:  All-New Reno Hi Fi website coming soon. 

After 23 years, this website will be retired and a modern website will take its place, while our business model will remain the same as it has since 1998.  We had been waiting for a quiet business time to create a new website, but in the last seven years, all we've been is Busy (which is Wonderful!).  Now, for technical reasons, this website must be retired as it will soon stop working.  Our goal is to have the new website launched around Labor Day weekend. 

We are currently building the new website and we've found the platform which will give us what we need to give our clients what they want:

Hourly updates to the website so everyone can see what's In Stock Now and in real time (same as on this website).  We're proud that we keep a large inventory, and the new website will clearly show in-stock items which are ready for quick shipping. 

A mobile-device-friendly website.  A website that will be attractive and informative while less complicated so it will load faster. 

As we posted in 1998:  "Reno Hi Fi is not a vending machine."  We will continue to not have a shopping cart or buy-it-now feature on the website so that we can communicate with our clients, even if it's for just two minutes, to be sure you're ordering exactly what you want and we have the opportunity to answer your questions.  We want our audiophile clients to be happy with and well informed about their purchases from Reno Hi Fi. 

July 26, 2022:  Supply Chain Updates:  Good News / Bad News. 

Good News:  After Labor Day we will have more product inventory (New, Demo and Used) and it will be posted on the new Reno Hi Fi website.  Some items will have modestly better pricing than we've had recently.  Please stay with us and look forward to some exciting product offerings after Labor Day 2022. 

Bad News:  The product supply chain seems to remain as bad as it has been, and maybe a little worse.  However, all is not lost, Reno Hi Fi continues to order product a year and more in advance and to hold as large an inventory as possible so that our customers' wait time is as short as possible. 

November 18, 2021:  The worldwide supply chain problems are now causing Reno Hi Fi to have little inventory.  Part of our business model is to have large inventories so that we can provide Excellent service to our customers.  In the first month after our reopening from the move, we did about three months worth of business and now our inventories are very low.  We have more than One Million dollars of product currently on order with PASS; and we have many trade-in's due to us; and we have a good amount of product in the process of shipping and factory refurbishing-- so product will continue to be available, but with less than our usual speed.  Because of shortages and long wait time for supplies, our restocking fees will be increased until the supply chain normalizes.  We're working hard for you, and by our ordering well in advance, we hope to have the products you want with far less wait-time than what is typical for our industry today. 

Early in November 2021, Pass Labs Company announced a modest 5% price increase to be effective January 01, 2022.  

October 1, 2021:   We are now open as normal, Monday through Friday, accepting new clients. 

September 20, 2021:   In only about two weeks we'll be open.  Hooray!  We look forward to helping you very soon.

All is progressing well on our relocation and a picture of our new offices at 2320 West Mission Lane, Suites 4 and 5 is below.   We continue on track to reopen October 05 and 06, 2021.  Contractors will be working on our new space for the next month.

Telephones are now moved.  We have the same phone numbers as always and we're adding a Phoenix number: 602-218-6200.  

Thanks again for your patience.  We can't wait to get back to our "real" work of helping our wonderful clients!  We would much prefer to be helping you rather than only working on moving and business administration.
