Rhode Island stereo shops

I'm going to be spending a quiet week in Newport with my sweetie shortly after the start of the new year. Reading. Sitting by fireplaces. Going out to eat a lot. If we should feel like taking a little drive one day (Providence? elsewhere?) is there a smokin' hot R.I. stereo shop that we might want to visit? Thanks.

Sorry Howard we really don't have any. I'm DCCA Audio cables in Jamestown, which is the next island over from Newport. Art Audio makes tube gear in Cranston. We do need a really hot audio shop here! There is a shop close by Newport in WestPort Mass. Don DCCA Audio

Check out sound Images in Westport, MA. They sell AtmaSphere, Art Audio, Ref3A, Conrad Johnson, Soundlab, Accuphase, Rega, some funky German horns... Very nice people, too. They are just a town or two from Newport. I was surprised to see where they were on the map, because I hadn't realizaed Massachusetts went that far south! Call first, their hours can be a bit variable.

To bad about Providence not having a hi-end shop,my very first encounter with high-end gear happened to be a shop in Providence called Ocean State Audio back in the mid 80's,I remember it all to well "sound was to die for" VTL Pro-ac and I think VPI. In that (short moment) in time, I was hooked forever on quality play-back equipment...8^)
