Anyone seen their favorite High End store close?


I have lived in Nashville, TN for most of the last 30 years,
I discovered Nicholson's HiFi in the early 70's. My system is half pro gear and half high end audio. most of the high end gear came from Nicholsons and we don't have another store anything like that in town. I guess I will have to buy my high end stuff from you guys, and thats OK, but I will miss sitting in a demo room for 2 or 3 hours with Lee (sales manager) auditioning various CD players or tables. Any thoughts ?

Not yet and I hope not but the one I despise seems to be maintaining itself afloat thanks to their importer-distributor role only...sucks.
I have yet to make it to Don Better, but he has a impressive list of gear, John next get together will be in a few weeks if you are free, email me.
I was visiting in Palo Alto a few weeks ago and we took a drive down to San Jose specifically to visit The Analog Room. Everyone there made us feel like old friends stopping in for some good conversation, music and food. Perhaps more shops would stay open if they took a page from their book.
