Review from Robin E.
Toronto, ON
ABOVE ALL IS STILL OPEN! It did not close it moved west about two blocks. It is now on the south side of the street. I forget the number but it's about 650. I was in there today and found just the part I was looking for.

Business has closed as of Jan 2012. No signs indicating if they moved. Too bad. I really liked this place.

Review from Noel D.
Though maybe not as big as that other electronics surplus store on Queen Street, this is my place to hit up for random cables and gadgets. I never seem to spend more than 20 bucks at a time here and can find basically anything I am looking for.
It's one of those shops where you might come in for some batteries or some kind of adapter and you will find other little knick-knacks that you can use or have been meaning to get. The prices are dirt cheap but some of the products are flimsy so beware. You are best just sticking to the sort of things you can't lose with, such as stereo cables, extensions, splitters and other fool-proof gadgets.
Staff is always nice and helpful. You would have to be a fool to choose a store like Best Buy over this when it comes to the little things. -
Review from Alejandro A.

While big box electronic stores aren't the worst thing ever, it's really too bad that a by-product of their existence is that more places like this don't exist. Above All is computer and electronic surplus store, not unlike Active Surplus, but specializing in, you guessed it, computer and electronics parts.
You can pretty much find everything of this nature in here. Batteries. Computer cables. TV cables. Used monitors. Cable adaptors. Pretty much everything down this vein. And it's all extremely cheap, which again makes me sad that big box stores have stomped most places like this out of existence.
I've only ever seen one guy behind the desk here, and he's always been very helpful to me. I'd recommend having at least an idea of what you're looking for before going in, but if you don't, the shop owner will help you out as much as he can.
