audiophile help needed in CT

ZenBlaster, I guess we're almost ex-neighbors. We moved to Bloomfield just last year. Looked at Balbrae but landed on a hilltop just below Talcott Mtn. It's scenic... also windy and frigid in the winter.

It can't match Lew's town for bright lights and culture, but it sure is low stress. The nearest "store" is Wade's Farm Stand (best native corn in the state, and their fields are right outside my back door). My daily commute is all of 5 miles on country roads. Traffic jams consist of deer, turkeys, fox, wildcat (once) and the occasional bear.

I have a long time buddy in Guilford, not far from Clinton and Deep River. Connecticut's small... everybody knows somebody from every town in the state.

If Boston isn't too far away, there's a terrific store in Cambridge called QAudio, and the owner is also a superb technician for turntables.

Cambridge is about 2 or 2.5 hours from Deep River. Q Audio sure was a great store back in the day when I frequented Cambridge. Glad to know it still exists, if it's the same business. Take 5 Audio in New Haven is not quite as long-lived but also excellent and much closer to DR.

Hi Bzalforno,

I know that you are about 1 1/2 hours from Mt. Kisco, NY which may be too far, but David Wilson, the owner of Accent on Sound there is an experienced Linn specialist, and quite generous with information and advice about judicious spending of $$ on various repairs, upgrades, or replacements. I hope that you get your issues sorted out without too much hassle!

Here's a vote of confidence in Dave Wilson (and Alma). I've been their customer 20plus yrs, without any regrets. I fear the day Dave decides to retire.
