Las Vegas Used HiFi

I go to Vegas a couple of times a year for the past 20. The only place I have found any good audio equipment was in the dozens of pawn shops.
I have made a few good purchases at CES and THE Show but that is only for the one week in Jan, of course.

Yeah, that store on Charleston is pretty much it. It's kind of an audio wasteland around here. The whole audio club thing sunk like the Titanic (see the thread in 'Audio Clubs') Yes, I'm more than a little disappointed at this, but what am I gonna do? As far as new equipment, there's Premiere Home Entertainment and Image, Sound & Control. Both are on the west side of town.

A few years ago, there was a highly regarded Hi Fi shop.
I cannot recall the name?

Audio Xpert on Charleston is pretty much the best vintage/used store in town; Bobby...the guy who runs it....is an authorized McIntosh service center, so he knows his stuff. The store's not much to look at - it's in an older part of town in a "well-worn" strip mall, but it's stuffed with gear, including some good finds.

As far as high-end shops, I've been dealing with Premiere Home Entertainment for 12 years. Unfortunately, it's no longer a walk-in store; it's by appointment only, because the bulk of their business is now high-end AV installs and other work; Premiere carries some good lines; their customer service is good.

It's disappointing though that in a city of 2 million people, there aren't more stand-alone high-end shops. You would think that in a city full of musicians and entertainers, you'd have that, but unfortunately you don't.

But it's not a wasteland. I'm in the process of building a good system and can get anything I need.

Well, that's cool about the stores around here. As far as being a wasteland, I said kind of. Meaning, I haven't met any fellow audiophiles around here and the audio club thing looks like it's not gonna happen. And there just doesn't seem to be that much interest in high end audio around here for the most part.
