Audiophile stores in Denver metro area


I'm here in Denver for seven weeks and have time to go to several prlaces. I have good gear already. You can see in GerryM5 virtual system. I would like to do some high end system serious auditions. I have a rental car so Boulder, Colorado Springs might be doable also. I'm upgrading my secound system in speakers and amplification areas. SE might even be a possibility. I like tube, SS and analog. So give me any speciality stores and locations. You know about large or small is ok. If they have a web site great. If they have an analog system please note that as I have LPs too.

Thanks,
GerryM5

Go 50-60 miles north to AudioAlternative.com, Rick has a store that worth the trip. And since you're in to vinyl, then his store is must see. You will hear a fully tricked out LP12 and a first rate Audio Research system thru Vandersteen 7's. And downstairs you can hear the Wilson Sashas and Sophia's newest model. All in a home like atmosphere. In Denver metro you can choose from Listen Up, Soundings,Denver Audio,Hear No Evil, or for a "guided counseling pre-sale interview" approach there is BluNote. And one last dealer that will take in his time machine back to the 60's try Gold Sound. But I strongly suggest a trip to Ft.Collins for audio alternative.
If you wonder why 'brick & mortar' stores are disappearing it is because of the likes of GerryM5. He will not buy anything at the store he goes to. Perhaps he will hear a piece of gear that he likes, but then will find it closer to home. He turns stores into 'manufacturer show cases', leaving behind a struggling owner. So, I have a new rule. Owners must qualify customers by checking to see if they live withing 50 miles of the store, otherwise they should not be admitted. Let them go to the audio shows. Fair?
