Where to listen hi end systems in Manhattan?
If you can get a ride to New Jersey, Audioconnection would be my first choice. Call Johnny and see if he can help with transportation. You'd also be close to Rutts Hut and could sample their famous hotdogs. Mmm... Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations for Manhattan dealers, as most are way too creepy for me. Bob |
In Manhattan, Innovative Audio, Lyric Hifi, and Sound by Singer are the big high end stores. None of them are very supportive of just stopping by to listen. Andy Singer is kind of off-putting if you don’t have an appointment. You might do better seeing if some of the forum members want to show off their systems. Or go to one of the new audiophile bars- https://tokyorecordbar.com/ http://publicrecords.nyc/ |
Thank you guys. @ahofer, are those links places to drink and listen to music? Do they have a dedicated audiophile music room or are they just bars with cool sound and music? Either way, they look nice. Have you been in one of them? Thank you both for the info. By the way, I would LOVE to hear some other high end system, if a fellow member offers it, but I dont know if he will be comfortable receiving a strange at home. |
Well given the way Manhattan dealers operate I think the solution should be obvious. You are the personal assistant to plga. Plga is loaded with cash from his five 100k head cattle ranches but short on time, none of the good stuff is here in Argentina so can you ship? Might be able to fit you in for an hour, two at most, after 7pm on the 22nd. etc. They are gonna be that way, probably blow you off anyway regardless, might as well have some fun. Who knows, one of these a-holes may even take the bait. Me, I would look up Mikey Fremer. In a heartbeat. Fremer is a real guy who unlike these hosers actually cares and might even take you up on it. Worth a shot. |
