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




I'll be in NYC for the first time from mid Nov. to mid Jan. and hope to see some audio along with all the other neat stuff.

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.

Any of you New Yorkers heard of or been to EarsNova. Located on 207 East 84th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Avenues). Their sound rooms are in a loft on the 4th Floor. Visits are by appointment only so you get very personalized attention. Owner Josh seems to be very knowledgeable and willing to put the effort into making the sale. Any opinions on this place.
I have lived and bought audio in NYC for years and the views here are pretty much spot on; Stereo Exchange in its original incarnation was actually fun; loads of used hi-end, stacks of last month's flavors in electronics, and then some; the old Goldmund Reference table, Double Quads, bizzaro stuff taken in on trade, gathering dust, all no more. Innovative used to be in Brooklyn Heights, and was a Linn house for a long time, but they serviced some old ARC stuff for me, and were always pleasant. Never had much interest in Lyric, despite the hi-end rep back in the 80's-90's. Singer has loads of fancy equipment, but Andy Singer is a little larger than life for me. I also had some minimal dealings with In Living Stereo, which left me ambivalent. The guy at Highwater Sound (or whatever it is called) is a real enthusiast and was a sweetheart over the phone answering questions about arcane phono stages without a hint of the salesman about him. EarsNova- bought a fair amount of stuff from him and did not get any service or follow-up, but alot of attitude. I currently patronize Bill Parrish, from GTT Audio in NJ. He often has used equipment, not all of which is listed on his website. And, I can pay him the true compliment of a friend: He is not an asshole.
