SACD dealers in Chicago

I think Holm has a short webpage at www.holmaudio.com

And Eric...if you only have the afternoon to spend, you'll probably end up having to skip Holm (or make that your only stop)...they're about a 45 minute drive from downtown. The Little Guys are also far from downtown. Evanston can be quite a ride too. Where are you going to be specifically?

If you're downtown, you're near: Audio Consultants (Gold Coast store...on Wells St?), Paul Heath (on Clark St, in Lincoln Park), Pro Musica (on Clark St. in Lincoln Park), Avant Garde (on Clark St in Lincoln Park), and the Sony Store (for SACD...on Michigan Ave)

If you're near Evanston: Audio Consultants (on Davis in Evanston), Celestial Sound in Evanston?? (I'm not familiar with them), Quintessence (on Dempster St. in Morton Grove), Van L. Speakerworks (appr. 5600 N. Western Ave in Chicago), and Audio Image (appr. 5800 Lincoln Ave in Chicago).

There are plenty more in the various suburbs. Let us know where you'll be and we can be more helpful.

Phild, by chance would you know were we could listen to a good vinyl set up in Chicago, besides Holm audio? Thanks. Sorry for not sticking to the topic, but we have had quite a time locating a good analogue shop in Chicago.

Audio Consultants in Evanston has a good setup with a Michell Orbe, SME V arm and Benz cartridge, playing through Levinson electronics. They change the speakers from time to time--lately they've been using the Eggleston Andras.

Thanks "Dschoenberg" I have not been to the Evanston Audio consultants in at long time. I must pay them a visit soon, as I would really like to hear the Orbe. Thanks for the information.

PhilD, I will be near Superior Street and Michigan Avenue. Its likely that I will hit some of the suggestions on Clark St. and the Sony store.

Gentleman, I'm grateful for all of your responses. This has been very helpful to me.

Thank you. Eric
