if its your first time in nyc, there may just be about a million things to do which are better than visiting audio stores, which are all pretty much ghosts of their former selves.
I agree that if your looking for used gear, no matter where you are, Audiogon is the place.
That being said, please try to spend the 30 minutes it takes to get to Northern New Jersey and visit John Rutan of The Audio Connection. John is a passionate audiophile/music lover, carries great gear, and is a phenomenal human being.
I went into NYC to check out stores last year, trust me and others and dont bother, you will only end up pissed and posting your frustrations here afterwards. You have at your feet any number of music events from even small taverns that you will just about get promised a good time, check the city out by day, look for live music at night..........when all is said and done Agon will be waiting for you!
Thanks folks. At least now I won't think that wonderful stuff is there but I just can't find it. Comments all apply here too.(Vancouver,BC)Crappy selection,coversion to HT and either litle knowledge or no manners. Sounds like I'll feel right at home!
The only place that I would considered to visit for some used or demo stuff is Harvey Electronics. There is one in Midtown Manhattan 2 West 45th Street Between 5th and 6th Avenues And the other one in Downtown Manhattan 888 Broadway at 19th Street Inside ABC Carpet & Home From time to time they have nice peaces for sale. You can call them to find out what they have on shelves. NRs are:(212)575-5000 and (212)228-5354. I got a good deal on McIntosh amp. Mariusz
