Hi-Fi in Bay Area?

Dear Goners:

Would anyone like to suggest good hi-fi shops in the Bay Area? Emphasis would be on very high-end two channel (Lamm, Brinkmann turntables, Verity speakers, etc., would be items of potential interest). Will be staying downtown at Westin St. Francis and would prefer something not too far away.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Check out AudioVisions at 1603 Pine St. It's near the corner of Pine & Van Ness. I think it's the best shop in San Francisco. If you have a car, check out Music Lovers Audio in Berkeley. It's at 1995 El Dorado Avenue. There are some good shops in San Jose but that's a good hour away.

Also if you have a car, Future Sound in Burlingame (not far from SFO airport).

Rent a car or take the train to San Jose to The Analog Room. Call them first to see if they have anything you want to listen to. It is my favorite place of every place in the Bay Area. The vinyl alone is worth staying an extra day for, if you can make it happen. Last time I was there they had over 10 turntables set up, from Rega to SME 30.

While you are in SFO, go to dinner at Jackson Fillmore. Also off the chart.
