What an unexpected, and entirely enjoyable, experience! Eric has assembled what is seldom found lately--a hi end stereo store that has modest systems all the way to some of the best equipment to be had, and all sounds very good.
I was in Miami for a long weekend, and stopped by for a casual visit. Eric and his staff were welcoming and demonstrated several systems even though I was vey direct in stating I was only stopping in the see the wares before flying out the next day.
What a privilege and no pressure. Eric was generous with his time, played a variety of music, and generally we had good conversation. But the music playback from his top system was the best I have ever heard---those Western Electric engineers were on to something. Fortunately Eric and some others are still flying the flag and maintaining this old equipment. Do yourself a favor if a stereo system is in your future; stop by and educate yourself as to what is available outside of the box stores.

Eric has created an unbelievable audio haven. I've been to many high end audio shops over the years in South Florida, many unfortunately have closed their doors, Deja Vu Audio is very unique. I really felt at home being there and kudos to Eric and Steven for creating that environment.
Look forward to going back and spending some more time exploring the other rooms and audio gear they have. Loved the Western Electric gear it's old school and unique to your shop !!

What a fabulous experience! The shop is in a kind of run down industrial area. I found a small sign outside and phoned as there was no apparent way in. After giving my name over the phone, Stephen of the staff came downstairs to bring me in.
We entered a freight elevator, went up three floors, then down a hall, and Steven opened a heavy door and ushered me into a really beautiful, large loft which I never would have guessed lurked in these shabby surroundings.
I told Steven I wanted to check out some headphones. He asked if I wanted a tour first, and as I had plenty of time I said "Sure."
Steven and I were the only ones in the loft, and I had his full attention. He demonstrated systems ranging from $1,500 to about $100,000. They are really into tubes and vinyl. The $100,000 system sounded like being at a concert. It was awesome and much more than my budget for sound.
Then we went to the headphone room. It was small and had a rack of about 20 headphones. Steven went to and fro to bring demo headphones for me to try in another space. He was extremely helpful and accommodating, and even let me use his laptop so I could replicate the streaming Spotify setup I use at home, compare it with Tidal, and try out the Chord Mojo which I wound up purchasing.
Steven is a great guy- a Grammy nominated musician and sound engineer. Loved the store: zero pressure, knowledgable staff, very educational approach without putting me down, and they host events with local record stores and others--seem to be building a sense of community. Highly recommended.

The most knowledgeable high-end audio team in Miami. Strange location in Wynwood, in an upstairs loft apartment, but everything a discerning audiophile could want.
