Now, here in AVL, there's just the 'big box' stores that sell 'typ-fi' that's available everywhere 'On Sale NOW!' But every time I moved, the number of 'dedicated' audio stores diminished.

At one PacStereo I was mistaken for an employee, because I knew how to operate their 'switchboxes' as well as the 'real' salesmen did. Got to hear nearly all of the legendary 'super toys'.the first Ohms, big Infinity's, Maggies, the goes on. Remember all of those names and places, where I'd go to with 'itchy ears' but a anemic wallet. Nice to know you were once a local guy and still have found memories of this fine neighborhood.īorn in L.A., moved to S.F.

The Royal Oak/Ferndale area is still a very vital area to this day, a few good record stores, the Royal Oaks Music Theatre seldomly shows concerts, the Magic Bag rarely has much notable to see either, and the audio shops are down to just, well, Harry's place. The folks at the Absolute Sound took me in and gave me shelter from those cold, harsh days around 1982 when CD players showed up and I responded by buying a Sondek Lp12 TT with Ittok LVII tonearm and an Asak MC cart to boot. I had, my mid to late 20's decided it would be a great place to live and also discovered some of the audio shops you speak of taters. I grew up on the west side of Detroit and as a teenager started migrating to the Royal Oak Music Theatre for concerts and because the local area was funky, artsy, and good cheap fun, and had about seven record stores, all within walking distance of the theatre.
