Planning audio audition trip to NY/NJ, vendors???


I am planning on burning some winter blues by jumping in the car, leaving NE Ohio and traveling east to Philly, north NJ or NYC to audition some audio gear. I'm looking for everything, CDP's, speakers, amps, etc., for various room sizes, future upgrading, and general audio knowledge/experience etc. I'm looking for your help on some good retailers to visit in these areas, hopefully some vendors that I could have a buying relationship with in the future. Would appreciate your positive experiences.

TFTA is a super place, I love going there and hanging out, hopefully I get to do it again soon. Like everyone else said they are super there, easy to get along with and human! The audio dealers up here(albany area) have issues and I avoid at all costs. Also worth mentioning I was into the watch collection at TFTA(my other hobby) which is very impressive, to me an how. Mario is a super individule, the moment we met he made me feel as if we had known each other for years, we spoke on the phone a few times prior to meeting and he saw my watch from across the room and said "so your Tim the Tire Guy, nice to meet you" with such confidence even if I wasn't me I would have to agree with him :) I look forward to doing some business with them.
We are having a demo at the W New York - The Court hotel in New York City on the 29th and 30th. We will be demonstrating the same home theater and two channel systems we had at CES including the Piega loudspeakers, Aloia amp & new cd player, and more. We are giving out a limited number of invitations to insure a quality demo. We'd be glad to send you one if you're interested. Tuesday is press day and Wednesday afternoon from 1-5pm is for consumers. If you'll be in the area those days feel free to email us for an invite.
Happy Traveling!
Don't forget the wonderful selection of used watches at Toys you can shop for.
