Going to NYC from the outback of Oregon. Again...

Oregon

keep us posted during or after your trip as to the places shopped, visited, on your Record expedition.  Have Fun!

Happy Listening!

Johnny R is still at Audio Connection.  If you plan of stopping by, I can meet up with you there with some other Audiogon members in the area.  Shoot me a message.

There are a number of excellent audio stores in NYC:

Innovative Audio
Stereo Exchange
Lyric Hifi
Sound By Singer
Rhapsody Audio
High Water Sound
In Living Stereo
Park Avenue Stereo
EarsNova
Audio Arts

This list is off the top of my head and may not be inclusive.
All have websites so check out the brands each sells and go from there. I have purchased from all but the last 3 but the entire list is comprised of reputable dealers.
In NJ--it’s Audio Connection--will take 40 minutes to get there by car from midtown. 

Thanks everybody . I now have a list of things to do in NYC!

I'd be delighted to give you some restaurant recommendations as well if you want to PM me. Food is something that NYC used to be very well known for, less unique now that the foodie revolution has spread, and there are many great restaurants everywhere. But, there are still some good places, not necessary tres cher, if you are an adventurous eater.
