About Stereo Shine

Stereo Shine was born out of a love for vintage stereo and the pursuit of the best sound possible.  Our products are practical, approachable and effective.

Based in Cardiff By The Sea California, we also appreciate a simple lifestyle filled with sun, sand and surf. You will find as you do business with us that we value clear communications, prompt service, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.

OUR SISTER BRAND

San Deigo Solid State

San Deigo Solid State is a vintage stereo restoration, repair and sales company started in 2020. As the company grew, we saw a need for product innovation to support both the professional and hobbyist community. Over the course of 2023 we developed the RCA Jack tool and launched Stereo Shine to promote it.

COMMUNITY

Made in the USA

Our products are assembled in the USA from components made in the USA. We believe that great products can come from all over the world, but we can have greater control over quality, sustainability and social justice by building direct relationships with US based suppliers.

SUSTAINABILITY

Focus on Reuse

Much of our business through our sister brand, San Diego Solid State, is focused on the repair and restoration of vintage stereo equipment. Some of our projects are rescued from the local e-waste recycler while others are from people who want to continue enjoying their gear but don't have the expertise to keep them running. Ultimately we are in the business of helping people get more out of their audio electronics so they can stay out of the landfill for many decades to come.
