How many of us have worked in audio stores?

I worked my way through dental school as manager of the largest and at that time "highest" end audio store in New Orleans. It's name was Custom Audio and the years were 1964-1968.

I work as a CAD draftsman/designer for an audio firm in the Summers (I'm a student), and work for Whetstone Audio in Austin during school. I work for a pittance, but I get to listen to great music all day. Cheers!

I worked at a big Japanese retail store that had a large audio/video department from '84-'87, when I was nineteen. I also worked, concurrently, at a high-end audio store from about '85-'87. Back then some of the big names were Threshold, Counterpoint, Spectral, SOTA, Linn and Infinity.

The owner of the high-end store was from the far east and was a classical music lover. He happened to own the building it was in and decided to convert it to a radio broadcasting station with a small music hall for the preservation of a classical music. Twelve years later I revisited the building when an opera singing friend had a performance there. I suppose the music never left the building.

I worked at D&M Sound in Columbia Mo. Paid my way through college. Broke me for the rest of my life buying this stuff! My college system was maggies with kimber cable and Audio Research sp6 with Audio Research tube amp. Linn LP12 table...I think I still miss that system!

I did from 1977 to 1987. It about drove me nuts at the end! It is alot like posting here. "wire is wire", "my friend has better stuff than you sell" and the EE guys make you
wish you worked at ToysRus instead. Most of the customers are fun though and the people in the industry are great for the most part. It's a big difunctional family!
