An audiophile in Chicago .....


I have all day Wednesday to myself before a two day meeting in Chicago.
Any recommended audio shops or music stores ? I'd love to find some great blues on vinyl and/or listen to some wonderful high end gear. Where should I go ?

Thanks a lot guys. Music Direct has moved to a new warehouse, and does not yet have any listening rooms or retail space. I want to stay in the downtown area, so I won't go to Quintessence or Holm Audio. But, the guys at MusicDirect suggest that I check out the Dusty Groove store on North Ashland Avenue for an "awesome record buying experience." So, wish me luck. It should be a great couple of hours digging through bins and bins and bins of vinyl LP's.
Well, it was a beautiful day in Chicago. I found some great jazz on vinyl at Dusty Groove ..... after over an hour of browsing through their bins, I bought twelve used albums, all in "near mint" condition. Can't wait to get home and start spinning them ! Then, a two martini steak lunch at Gibson's and about four hours walking through this great city on a perfect early Spring day. Life is good !
