Where's the best place for used audio gear in NYC?

You should be looking for the best gear which may or may not be used gear.

In many instances a new piece of gear may outperform a much more expensive piece of older gear.

You need to evaluate any purchase based on what sounds the best and I would always look at what is currently being lauded as a best buy.

Ohm Acoustics has a small showroom I believe at their facility in Brooklyn. They do a lot of refurbishing of older models with newer technology. Never been there, but I own 3 pairs of their speakers and have had their facility on my radar to visit someday. Maybe worth a call first to see if worthwhile.

Kublakhan, what happened???

Interesting comment about In Living Stereo. And I thought that it was just me.

What happened? Too many annoyances to list. I think it was the owner I was dealing with. He was rude and disinterested. Even though I made an appointment he kept me waiting repeatedly by walking out of the room to chat with his workers. The Shindo gear I was listening to was shrill (at least in his poorly designed room) and he blamed it on the cds I brought in (he even insulted the music) and then blamed it on the fact that it was a hot day in nyc and lots of people were using their air conditioning. He bashed Don Gerber of Fi and Gorden Rankin of Wavelength. He had no intelligible answers to my questions.
