Reno Hi Fi Closing In 2024

I bought my Pass Gear from Mark at Reno HiFi, and as it turns out Mike at Suncoast is my local dealer… everything else I have I bought from him. Pass Labs couldn’t have made a better choice… IMHO.

That's nice to hear. Even though I'm on the opposite side of the country, I'm glad someone has stepped in with a program similar to Reno Hi-Fi's.

Mikes the perfect guy to pass the torch to. Knows the entire line up and down. Well done, glad to see someone retiring in hifi as well

Soo, I’ve checked back at the Suncoast website repeatedly over the last couple months and they don’t appear to have had any pre owned Pass Labs products to sell. I’m getting a feeling they’re simply not going to be the next Reno HiFi. Maybe something else, but not Reno.

Perhaps.

On the other hand, Reno cleared out most or all of their used Pass gear before shutting down. I don’t see how Suncoast (or anyone else) can start selling used Pass gear until they first build up an inventory of new Pass gear and then start taking trade-ins (which have to be shipped back to Pass Labs for refurbishment and then shipped back to Suncoast). It’s a process.

Reno didn’t become what it was overnight. The ability to trade-in trade-up was key to Reno’s success and I can’t imagine Suncoast overlooking this part of the business. I’d give it some more time before making a judgement on this. Just sayin’.
