SACD dealers in Chicago


I was wondering if anybody in the Chicago area could tell me who(dealers) and where I can listen to SACD units set up correctly. Sony SCD-777ES, Phillips, Marantz? I appreciate the help.

Hi Doug28450,

Do you know Holm audio's address or number off hand? I am looking for a dealer in Chicago with some good vinyl gear and I think Holm was a candidate. I could be mistaken though. Thanks.

BTW - Mgs - you're welcome :)

Thorty40, Holm Audio is just east of the 75th Street exit of I-355. They have plenty of tube equipment, but typically only have two turntable setups. They're good people to deal with.
I think Holm has a short webpage at www.holmaudio.com

And Eric...if you only have the afternoon to spend, you'll probably end up having to skip Holm (or make that your only stop)...they're about a 45 minute drive from downtown. The Little Guys are also far from downtown. Evanston can be quite a ride too. Where are you going to be specifically?

If you're downtown, you're near: Audio Consultants (Gold Coast store...on Wells St?), Paul Heath (on Clark St, in Lincoln Park), Pro Musica (on Clark St. in Lincoln Park), Avant Garde (on Clark St in Lincoln Park), and the Sony Store (for SACD...on Michigan Ave)

If you're near Evanston: Audio Consultants (on Davis in Evanston), Celestial Sound in Evanston?? (I'm not familiar with them), Quintessence (on Dempster St. in Morton Grove), Van L. Speakerworks (appr. 5600 N. Western Ave in Chicago), and Audio Image (appr. 5800 Lincoln Ave in Chicago).

There are plenty more in the various suburbs. Let us know where you'll be and we can be more helpful.
Phild, by chance would you know were we could listen to a good vinyl set up in Chicago, besides Holm audio? Thanks. Sorry for not sticking to the topic, but we have had quite a time locating a good analogue shop in Chicago.
