Good stores in LA

David Weinhart is a good guy. But I would not be spending time driving around El Lay. Go to The Getty or try out restaurants or something, but driving around for stereo stores is not a particular activities that I recommend.

Well, since we are off topic now...

While in LA, the place you should REALLY go, as a music lover and audiophile, is the Walt Disney Music Hall for a classical performance. LA may not have the friendliest and best HiFi shops, but they do have some of the best musicians and one of the better symphonic music halls in the world.

You'll get closer to the music there than you would sitting in any dealers showroom.

There is Audio Video Today On Beach Blvd,in Westminster, Ca. If you happen to be in the area. If not like others say, go to Brooks Berdan for Wilson ( They have Alexandrias II set up) , VTL, AR, Vandersteen and other exotic stuff. (you might see La Luce TT) Brooks and Brian are sweet hearts. Really.
Or Weinhart Designs (opposite of sweet heart, but still a good guy ;-))) is a good store to go to. ( TVAD, Weinhart designs is exactly below (1st flr) where Ambrosia' used to be (2nd flr)- in same Bldg). Digital Ear used to be a great store also. The Getty and Weinhart Designs are close by.

But like TVAD says pick a place or two and plan it other wise you will burning away your valuable time shuttling around LA freeways

If you are in to Vinyl, surely visit Amoeba.
