About Us
RELICS
Purveyors of Musical Artifacts
RELICS is a New Zealand music store established in 2013.
RELICS HIFI (2 doors down) is the audio department established in August 2020.
We source NEW and 2ND HAND music: VINYL (RECORDS, LPs) CDs, DVDs and music related things for people that enjoy physical music products and we source quality HIFI gear fo those who love to experience superb sound.
We opened RELICS simply because we love music. We like to share music with others, to have a rant or two about days gone by - past bands and new ones in the mix... and because helping people is what we do. In RELICS HIFI we're dedicated to helping you find quality hifi components and systems so that you can experience superb sound!
Different tastes in music and sound gear - make for an eclectic world. Whatever it is you love... we don't judge... we won't bite... and we'll help you find it!
Owners are Dave James - who has over 30 years of music retail experience in New Zealand (remember Corner Records? ... Echo, Marbecks), and wife Irene Hundleby, an ethnomusicologist (music, culture, people researcher) with over 25 years of retail/service experience.
In-store you'll also meet Bebe, Arlo, Andrew, Alan, Cain and Masin. All of our staff are passionate about music - most of us play instruments, are musicians, music degree graduates or specialists in sound.
At Relics we pride ourselves on personalised customer service and care. Relics is a salute to record store culture of the past and continuation of that culture into the future. Simply ASK and we will do our best to connect you to whatever kinds of music you are looking for!
