Any audio shops in Vegas that shouldn't be missed?

Jdwek, you staying at the Sahara and playing Monday 4/29 through to Thursday 5/2? 4-on-4 format? Best, Jeff

My brother lives there & he sent me this answer:

Upper Ear 3900 W. Charleston at Valley View, In the NW corner. Just about the only true stereo shop in town that is not a chain. For a city this big with as much money that floats around here we don't have squat for high-end audio. Best of the chains is Ultimate Electronics. Most people here that are into audio go to LA to get it.

I just got back last night from Vegas and their Yellow Pages proves unless you are into car audio it truly is a virtual wasteland for high-end audio.

I had a greate experience last Christmas at Premiere Home Entertainment, 2300 N. Rainbow (702)877-0222. They carry B&W and Audio Research so credentials in order and they couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful (even wrapped my DM303's for free!) (Warning: they put red pepper in the popcorn). Kim, the store's President, is a real Babe.
Viva Las Vegas!

The Upper Ear closed on June 1st 2000. Some of the people from there started a new store: Premiere Home Entertainment on Rainbow Ave. They are good folks and will treat you right.
