Hi Fi Dealer in New York City?


I'm going to visit my son, and I want to take him to a hi fi dealer with a variety of inventory...either Brooklyn or Manhattan....Google was no real help....any suggestions?

If you really can't make it to Verona to Audio Connection (and John's place is not really near a railroad station, though you might be able to take a DeCamp bus from the Port Authority there), you might check out Innovative Audio. My visits there in the past were pleasant, and they have a good inventory of equipment in various price ranges. I haven't been there for a while, though; they seem to have a home theater/designer flavor on their website. And Sound By Singer certainly is different from what it used to be, judging from the website--closer to what Andy started out from, though now it's by appointment only. Given the brands he's carrying, it looks like you would have a number of price levels to choose from with a bit of variety. Might be worth a call, I can feel comfortable that he would have things set up properly. And if you can get to NJ, I would also recommend CSA Audio in Upper Montclair (they are also a few blocks from a railroad station that goes from Penn Station), they have a good selection with quality brands and I have used them for years along with Audio Connection.
In Living Stereo and Audio Arts. In Living Stereo has real world gear to the esoteric, Audio Arts is cool but can get a little up there. Both would appreciate appointments so you can enjoy yourself. In Living Stereo also sells vinyl. Isn't Singer no longer in a storefront?
Lyric has a wide range of good sounding gear and I have found the staff friendly and helpful both times I've been there.
