The Best Cities & States to Find High End Gear


Not everyone comes to Audiogon (unfortunately) to list their used gear, many are content to sell it on Craigs List at the expense of getting the best and highest value for it. Just curious, what are the best cities and states to find high end audiophile gear?  I'm in Philadelphia so I usually just search the East Coast and recently saw that Maine had some interesting gear for sale there.

Agreed jafant, Los Angeles in particular. In the late 90's I found a set of 13 ASC tube traps, sizes 9", 11", and 15", in The Recycler for ten bucks apiece!
A good brick and mortar store in Portland Oregon is echo audio
chech out their web site
Echo in Portland is pretty good, as is Pearl Audio-Video (Magnepan, Ayre, Mac, Linn, Rega, Project, Magico, Dynaudio, REL).
