Good stores in LA


I will be in LA next week and wanted to stop by a few of the top audiophile gear stores there. Anyone have any suggestions?

LA Audio is the place on Western south of Beverly. Billy Kim is a great guy. They've been there for years on same location. I bough some NAD amps from them in 1989 than upgraded to Acurus couple of years later.

One of the most memorable event for me was when I helped the Kim family guard LA Audio during April 1992 riot with my only weapon at the time - set of Samurai swords. Billy's mom got shot thru her thigh... Their warehouse in south LA got wiped out. Richard (Billy's brother) had stock issue M-14 and we along with the sales guys huddled together on the rooftop ready to defend LA Audio. Police told us to evacuate later that night.

Please note that it is closed on Sunday as the owners are devoted Christians.

Ah the memories...
Wow Soundfactor from the 80's? They had shops all over including SF Valley (North Hollywood on Victory Blvd).

Again check out LA Audio off of Western south of Beverly. Tell Billy the guy who came with samurai swords to defend his store during April 1992 "Rodney King" riot sent you. I went to his younger bro Richard's wedding and he came to mine too.

Cheers
