Trip to NYC, What to do


Hi all,

Heading to NYC and was wondering if anyone has some suggestions for some audiophile to dos in the big apple. Looking forward to hearing from you guys, thanks.

I've been to Lyric twice and both times found the gentleman working there to be friendly and helpful.

Of course, there was nobody else there at the time looking to drop megabucks, so I probably timed it right.

Seriously though, they had a wide range of gear at all price points, including entry level "high end", like NAD, etc.

The shop reminded me of the old Tech Hifi I used to work in, which was an audio mecca at the time back then circa 1978 or so, though the most expensive gear there these days cost way more than anything sold back then, even with inflation factored in I would say. That's progress I suppose......
Wow. We up here in the Great White North are serious losers. Just confirming, I already knew.
go to acadamy records and Cds off of 18st.between 5th ave and 6th...excellent prices...
In Living Stereo (Shindo/Devore), Stereo Exchange. I would go to the websites of your favorite gear or gear that you are courious about and see if they have dealers in NYC. Many will be represented. I think Audio Note now has a dealer in NY.
Pickup a copy of the Village Voice and see what acts are playing where. Then, figure out which acts you want to see and go see some live music.
The high-end stores are not as many as years ago and the displays are limited. Singer is closed, Park Ave Audio is a far reduced space. Stereo Exchange is ok and Innovative is in Brooklyn.
