I agree with Stevegolf1 - Toys From The Attic in White Plains is a GREAT place to go. Jim, Bill and Mike are VERY knowledgeable about all kinds of gear and are glad to just hang and talk audio with you. Their prices are fair and they are simply some of the nicest guys I've met in the audio retail business. No stuck up, condescending "audio" attitudes there - just nice, down to earth folks who love audio as much as we do and who are always willing to help.
Planning audio audition trip to NY/NJ, vendors???
I am planning on burning some winter blues by jumping in the car, leaving NE Ohio and traveling east to Philly, north NJ or NYC to audition some audio gear. I'm looking for everything, CDP's, speakers, amps, etc., for various room sizes, future upgrading, and general audio knowledge/experience etc. I'm looking for your help on some good retailers to visit in these areas, hopefully some vendors that I could have a buying relationship with in the future. Would appreciate your positive experiences.
