East coast guys, who is your favorite Hi-Fi shop?
« on: December 28, 2006, 06:13:37 PM »
I wanted to "hit the streets" so to speak and hear of some of your favorite hi-fi stores. Who are your "go to" guys? I'm currently looking for some new dealers along the east coast and the best way to hear honest thoughts and opinions is from the customers themselves. I'm particularly interested in GA, SC, FL, VA and CT.

If some of you don't mind taking the time, I would sincerely appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks!

If you are in Ct. you might want to take the time to go into NYC. It's right over the border depending on where you are in Ct.
I know you like, tape for people's approval and stuff, and wave your tapes around like they're your dick...  but even you can't actually think section tapes from philips sound good.

Hey Carl, Thanks for the info. We actually have a few dealers in the NYC area already with Sound By Singer being one of the most prominent. Thank you very much though.

I completely missunderstood your question. I thought you wanted to go shopping for yourself not find new retailers for a product. Now I get what your saying, good luck in your search.

"Every time I see a group of teenagers gathered around an iphone laughing at some youtube video, I walk up to them, slap the iphone out of their hand, get right up to them nose to nose, and scream at the top of my lungs:

TAKE A LOOK

IT'S IN A BOOK

READING FUCKING RAINBOW."
