All of the above mentioned dealers are very good (except for one) with varying manufacturers. The dealer I would avoid like the plague is Audio Gallery. The owner, Gary, is a complete jerk. He has a terrible reputation here and most serious audiophiles refuse to deal with him.
Business In Portland, Oregon
I will be in Portland, Oregon on business the second week of March and who like to know the names of some hi-end stereo stores to visit. I am currently in the market for a turntable and who like to take this opportunity to see in-person some of the tables I have read about e.g. VPI Aries, Clearaudio, etc. Any recommendations on stores to visit?
