Where music comes alive.
A rare experience: a genuine high-fidelity listening room where you can hear the difference before you buy. No pressure, no big box store noise — just exceptional equipment and the people who love it.
Deetes' Sound Room is one of the last of a dying breed — an intimate, independent hi-fi shop run by someone who truly loves music. Deetes Andersen majored in music at every stage of his education — from grade school through college — and has spent decades curating exceptional audio equipment and building a space where audiophiles and curious newcomers alike can sit down, relax, and actually hear the difference quality makes.

Deetes Andersen has been the heart and soul of Deetes' Sound Room for over 50 years. What started as a deep personal passion for music and high-fidelity audio became one of the Sacramento area's most trusted destinations for serious audio equipment.
When you walk into Deetes' Sound Room, you're not talking to a salesperson — you're talking to someone who has spent his life listening, learning, and sharing that passion with anyone who walks through the door. No question is too technical, no setup too complicated, and no budget too modest.
Deetes has helped first-timers choose their first turntable and helped seasoned collectors track down impossible-to-find vintage pieces. His philosophy is simple: great sound shouldn't be a mystery, and great equipment should last a lifetime.
