We primarily sell factory-direct, and are located near Denver, Colorado – about 35 minutes from Denver International Airport. For points outside of Colorado, click the relevant tabs, and contact us if you need assistance.
COVID-19 update – Winter, 2021/2022:
We have temporarily suspended all travel and customer visits. We continue to monitor the “opening” of the country and as of January, 2022 our showroom remains closed. Contact us for current status. We documented one such setup in this blog post.
For those of you who are about to receive delivery of your Galibier, we’ll work with you to re-schedule your setup visit or alternatively discuss a credit with you. We’re also working on a remote learning system to guide you through getting the best from your Galibier.
Thanks for working with us to limit the spread of this virus. We can do this if we work together!
Auditioning
Contact us to set up an appointment. Plan on spending an entire day (or more) with us. Click this link to get an idea of how deeply we dive into making sure you make the right choice for you.
Also, contact us about in-home demos of our new line of cables.
Auditioning – Travel Credits
If you visit us in “Colorful Colorado”, and you purchase within one year of your visit, we’ll reimburse you for some or all of your trip. Reimbursement amount is product specific and will be agreed upon at the time we invoice you. Contact us if you have any questions.
Payment
Galibier’s products are commissioned, so you won’t find a shopping cart system on our site.
Payment is by PayPal, Venmo, all major credit cards as well as check/money order. If paying by check/money order, we’ll wait for it to clear before crediting your payment.
Ordering and Delivery
Build orders are placed after an order is taken and a deposit is received. Turntables and amplifier delivery is typically in the 8 week range and cables (which receive a 72 hour burn-in) is 5-7 days.
Complimentary onsite setup:
We want to ensure that you get the most out of your analog front end.

- With every new turntable we sell, we’ll travel to your house to set it up (limited to the Continental US and most parts of Canada).
- Complimentary setup applies to many cartridges and tonearms as well (even if you don’t purchase a turntable). Click this link to visit our onsite setup page for details.

Guide to Denver & Boulder, Colorado
At the risk of your confusing us with the Colorado Department of Tourism, we’ve put this guide together to assist you in planning your Colorado trip.
We’re midway between Boulder and Denver – both of which serve as gateways to our beautiful mountains, and we’re about 40 miles from one of the jewels of the National Park system: Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s not only about mountains however …
(note: all the following links open in a new window)
Things to do in Denver
As a major Western city, Denver’s activities are perhaps more well known than Boulder, with a state of the art Center for the Performing Arts, the Aquarium, The Pepsi Center (Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets), Coors Field (The Rockies), and Empower Field (Mile High Stadium) (The Broncos) being located in or near downtown.
The Brown Palace Hotel ( “the unsinkable Molly Brown” fame) is a landmark hotel, much like Boulder’s Boulderado, and it shouldn’t be missed if you’re spending time in Denver.
The Botannic Gardens , Denver Zoo, and Museum of Nature and Science are several miles to the East of downtown.
Boulder and Estes Park
Rocky Mountain National Park
Located 35 miles Northwest of Boulder, “the Park” (as we affectionately call it) is one of the jewels of the National Park System. Here are some highlights about the Park.
Chautauqua Auditorium
The Auditorium hosts a Spring, Summer music series, and is just South of the University Hill area – at the base of Flagstaff Mountain – a part of Boulder’s extensive open space network.
Rockygrass Bluegrass Festival
Located 12 miles Northwest of Boulder, in Lyons, Colorado, the festival books most of the same acts as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival – being brought to you by the same folks who produce it. The festival is held on the last weekend in of July.
Ski Country USA
We would be remiss if we didn’t include a link to Colorado’s ski areas.

Dining
Far too much to mention, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the The Chautauqua Dining Hall – world class cuisine, local organic produce, reasonable prices, and at the foot of Boulder’s Flatirons. It’s the consummate Boulder experience. We make a point of taking visitors here for breakfast. Check on seasonal hours, with reduced hours in the Fall and Winter.
