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

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.

Other than the occasional glimpse of some exotic gear, NYC in general is one of the worst places on earth to look at audio. Unless of course you enjoy being judged by the price of your wristwatch and/or pressured through a high margin sale by a condescending so called salesperson.

In my experience, Innovative Audio is the best of the bunch where Adam in particular is a great guy. But dont know how much used gear they have.

Stereo Exchange used to have a huge stock of second hand high end, but I think in recent years they have morphed into yet another home theatre specialist.

While we are on the topic, I also had a bad experience at Living Stereo, which puzzled me after the intially good reviews. Never went back.

Good luck,

There is Lyric at 82nd & Lex, but I'm not sure about their inventory of used equipment.
