Your three favorite audio dealerships?

1. The Cable Company/ Ultra Systems

On my last post I said I thought the store Brooks Berdan was going downhill because of new management. Well I was wrong. I spoke with Rick last week that is manager of that store. We discussed different phono cartridges and he was very kind and helpful. He told me to bring my table in and he would put a scope on the stylus and also listen to it. As soon as I have a chance to do that I will be going to see him.

Excellent! The shop also still has a great tech in Tom, who's in on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Tom did all the diagnostic and repair work for Brooks, and does the same for Sheila. Tell him Eric says hey!

This is like asking what your three favorite dinosaurs are.

High Water Sound in New York.Best sound best advice.

Stereo Exchange NYC - Bricks and Mortar. Alan C. , a.k.a. "The Audio Elf" and the staff are excellent folk. Most of my equipment is purchased here and it's 55 miles from my residence. They need to start selling vinyl!!!

Reno Hifi - I've only dealt with Mark through this site but I feel like I know him on a personal face to face level. Totally committed to customer satisfaction. Two purchases plus trades went smoother than one could imagine.

Audio Classics - the Mcintosh guys upstate. No nonsense straightforward. One of these days I'm going to drop by.

I replied to this thread a while back......before I found AV Therapy in Nashua NH.   Great guys to deal with,  awesome store.    

Happy New Year,

let's keep a good thing going here. What are you fave dealers/retailers
in 2016 ?

Audio Breakthroughs in Mannhasset Long Island.  

Knowledgeable, courteous, customer oriented in a very small, equipment cluttered shop.  Just the way I like it.  They sell some used equipment on consignment and have a large inventory of new.  

No B&M but MO
Blue Jeans Cable
Super fast turnaround.  Great quality at a low price

Reno HiFfi
Purchased two items from Mark.  Great guy. He steered be away from an expensive component that would have given him a good sale but would not have worked with my system. 

Only done business with two B&M retailers and would recommend them both in this order:

1. Deja Vu Audio Mclean VA
2. Gifted Listener Audio Centreville VA

I got my first system way back when at Gifted Listener but I've become a die-hard Deja Vu Audio convert and love the gear that they make themselves.

Take 5 Audio, New Haven, CT.
Ralph has been in business there since 1977. I have been dealing with them since 1985 and have always found them to be knowledgeable and trustworthy.
Their product lines run the gamut from budget minded to the highest of high end.

You guys give a shout out for dealers/retailers that are "opening" shop
in 2016!

Hey Guys, 

I am starting up a new dealership in San Francisco. My dealership is called Coda Audio Video. I am currently representing Peachtree Audio, Scansonic, Raidho Acoustics, Jolida, and ELAC USA. Please check me out at www.codaaudiovideo.com. You can also reach me directly at 415-205-1053. We are currently seeking more brands as we speak after CES. We are striving to provide the best customer service in the Bay Area. Thank you and have a great day. 

Best, 
Kelly

With those speaker lines I think you are going to have to carry much better Electronics.

Yes, we just opened last month. I am in the process of obtaining better lines. :)

Happy New Year! Kelly-

keep us posted and your new endeavor. Happy Listening!

Any Audio shops in Austin, TX worth visiting ?

I don't know about audio shops in Austin jafant, but Rythmik Audio, maker of great subwoofers, is. So is Cornell Hurd and his band, a Western Swing/Hard Country singer/songwriter friend of mine. Go see and hear him some time!

Keep this thread going...

I purchased my preamp (c-j Classic 2SE) and DAC ( NAD M51) from Jack, he and the guys at Spearit are great to deal with....

TY- oddiofyl

Jack Tozzi at Spearit is amazing...have been doing business with them since 2000!!!

Jack contacted me a few days ago to inform about the new receipt of CJ 150 integrated amp. It will need at least 200 hrs of burn-in and asked if JT would update me. He is a great one!

Tone of Music Audio - San Francisco
Blue Moon Audio - Pacifica
Berkeley Stereo - guess where
