audiophile help needed in CT

Oddly enough, my wife is from Deep River. Her family are long time pillars of the community. If by some poor luck your problem persists that long, we expect to be visiting in a month or two. Would be glad to help.

The nearest audio store I can think of would be in New Haven. Take 5 Audio was always a good business, on 105 Whitney Ave. Here is their phone number: (203) 777-1750. They are right off Rte 95 near the junction of 95 and 91. Trumbull St exit, I think.

The OP has apparently lost interest in this topic, long before the rest of us. But now we know everyone else's location relative to Deep River. It's a beautiful small town. From my mother-in-law's house in the center of town you can walk to the Connecticut River, and it's a short drive to the Long Island Sound. It's a short bike ride over to Essex along a beautiful road that borders the river.

Cool to find out so many of us know about Deep River, after years of shmoozing indirectly on the internet. Take Five was my recommendation also, Zenblaster. It's an easy hop from Deep River. But I also take Doug's point about doing a little homework first, altho I don't find my vinyl rig needing such regular maintenance as Doug suggests. I tend to set it and forget it.

I grew up in New Haven and never even saw much of CT east of New Haven until I started dating my wife and became a member of her family in DR, in the late 1970s. Sometimes I fantasize about retiring there, but I admit to being hooked on the "bright lights" of the DC area; I like being able to hear high quality live music any day of the week within 15 minutes drive from my house. (20 minutes to Kennedy Center.) One of my best friends from high school lives in Clinton, Zen.

To the OP, you may have known my mother-in-law, Rita Samuels. She was Comptroller of the town even into her early 90s. A remarkable woman. My father in law was THE dentist in Deep River and an avid sailor.

Cambridge is about 2 or 2.5 hours from Deep River. Q Audio sure was a great store back in the day when I frequented Cambridge. Glad to know it still exists, if it's the same business. Take 5 Audio in New Haven is not quite as long-lived but also excellent and much closer to DR.
