Good stores in LA


I will be in LA next week and wanted to stop by a few of the top audiophile gear stores there. Anyone have any suggestions?

Down here is SanDiego, which until reading the above posts, I'd have thought of as the end up the world, has a couple of places of note:
1, just up the street in Carlsbad has Mac, CA, PassLabs, Paradigm speakers and a bunch of other goodies. I bought a PSAudio Soloist outlet there last year.
Down South is another operation with no less than 7 or 8 demo rooms. Wadia, Krell....electronics and speakers.....B&W, Rotel, Naim, Rega, Magnepan, and many more. Good used selection and great staff.
There is a mid-fi place or 2 with NAD offerings, include the 'M' stuff. More boutique AV/HT places than you can shake a stick at finish it off.
Not a lot, but overall pretty nice.
If you want some 'culture', and are in SanDiego, the place to go is Balboa Park. There on EVERY Sunday of the year, is a 1 hour Organ Recital at what may be the ONLY remaining outdoor, municipal pipe organ in the world. Played by SanDiego's Municipal Organist, Carol Williams, it is an amazing auditory experience. Catch it on a cool, rainy winter day for best sound.......dress warm.
Knock San Diego weather? Must'a been a misprint.
Some San Diego Tourist organization or other is probably sending over a goon squad to break my legs.
