I will travell to New York, would be glad to meet members

Greg and chayro, i have send you pm but got no response 
Sadly there seems not to be any really high end stores  left in central NY city
(prove me wrong). I remember beeing told that in the old days Sounds by Singer
used armed trucks to deliver really high end gears to customers!,
Luckily we have still here in Stockholm one of Europes biggest  Audio Store
"audio concept"carrying some heavy stuff. I bought my Focal Grande Utopia Em there.
Whart I would be glad to see you if you ever go to Stockholm again (and please give me your best manhattan restaurant tip)

Stefan: I don't know about "best" but if you eat spicy food, there is a superb Szechuan restaurant in midtown called "Wu Liang Ye." It is not fancy- in fact, it is a bit of a dump, but it is clean enough, and the food sparkles. You must make a reservation- if you call, ask for Herman, the manager, and use my name, Bill Hart. If you want lobster, you must reserve that in advance, and I recommend doing so. The menu I would have is razor clams, szechuan dumplings, either cold or dan dan noodles, capsicum chicken, a lobster dish, some fried rice and snow pea leaves or string beans with bamboo shoots (if they are out of snow pea leaves). They have a lot of exotic dishes on the menu, and you can feel free to experiment, but those dishes are tried and true-- I've eaten there many, many times over the years.
If you want an elegant lunch, you might try to book at the Modern in MoMa, and ask for a seat in the dining room facing the sculpture garden This is one of Danny Meyer's restaurants, and though I don't think it is in the very highest tier of restaurants based solely on food, it is very, very good, the service is usually exceptional and the setting is very refined. 

Whart. Thanks for tips. Makes me hungry at once
i thought sound by singer was out of business but realize that they still exist and sells som high end (but only by apointment)
