About Needle Doctor

Needle Doctor was created by our owner, Jerry Raskin. He got started by selling cassette tapes out of his backpack to passersby in the lovely Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis. His passion for audio later led him to selling components and other accessories. By 1979 he built enough rapport with the locals to open up his own retail location. In 2010, Needle Doctor moved from Dinkytown to a larger building in St. Louis Park, MN, which allows for a larger inventory and showroom, as well as more hands-on training for the sales staff. We are a small firm (usually about 7 employees!) catering to a wide variety of customers from all over the world. We're all unhinged music enthusiasts, and we take great pleasure in helping other folks enjoy their tunes.
