Hey Digihead,
They are coming.... I think our home display will go up last as we are still waiting on our custom run or brass hardware for the stereo racks we are going to be making in house. But once we get things dialed in we will have some sweet leather chairs.

No, the Amphora amps are run off a regulated linear power supply. Since it will be running all day we wanted to not have to mess with recharging or changing batteries.
Thanks

Awesome. Yeah we looking forward to having some fun with all the local head-fiers. I am hoping to be doing builds in the small back work shop area.
We set up about 20 headphones on the wall that are available for customers to simply pick up and try, I am still having fun just ourselves listening and comparing stuff.

Update... Getting close, looks like we will open when I get back from RMAF. I sill have a lot more inventory to get set up, but you get the idea.
The headphone rack alone is like a mini-meet  again thanks to Vinnie Rossi who by the way would not allow me to pay him for wiring up that masterpiece. Not only that he did not charge me for the 6 imods and totally donated them to the 32 Ohm Audio, he is a genuine great soul.

This is truly a groundbreaking moment in the world of Audio.
If you decide to expand to the other coast (after you become rich) in NYC, I'm your man for managing the store!
Vinnie can visit my store anytime he wants

Hey Aaron,
It will be interesting to see what happens, because you are exactly right, as far as I know there is nothing like what this store will be like. I mean there is AC Gears but its not like this shop. I am hoping that there are so many iPhones and iPods out there with sad faces because people are unsure of what to plug into them and unsure of what and how to use them as a source. People tired of roulette with Amazon dot com, not knowing what the product feels like, sounds like etc... I am hoping and gambling on filling this void for many people curious of something better IEM / earphone and headphone wise. Also of course offering a killer upgrade path and will have gawk factor HD800, PS1000's and Edition 8s in the shop. Dude you are totally hired! if I dont end up in a van down by the river eating government cheese 
Lets hope if you build it they will come.
Ken

Hehhe nice, you could be like the night watchman. I can see Mt. Dew and Doritos all over the place now.
What is funny is I have set up 4 color IR video cameras and they are connected to a DVR that has internet capability. If I can decipher the instruction apparently I can do a 32 Ohm Audio cam and we all can see whats happening in real time on the web. That is my hope anyhow.

It looks extremely nice. I sure wish I lived closer so I could hop in and give a listen to the great gear. Congrats on the new store!

Hi Ken,
Wow - VERY IMPRESSIVE and you've done so much since I last visited only a few weeks ago!
BTW - I like that you'll have a section of the room to show off home audio as well. Make sure you pick up a couple of comfy leather listening chairs, a little table to set down a drink, and of course some acoustic treatments to make that space really shine for showing of some home audio as well! 
Congratulations, Ken! Thanks for keeping us posted and sharing pics.
Wishing you all the best - you deserve it and have worked so hard to make this a reality!
Vinnie

Thanks Vinnie.
Yes the HOME AUDIO section is coming! This is going to be awesome. We are going with Omega Loudspeakers and I am working closely with Louis to offer a selection of their wonderful speakers. He is also making me some special smaller bookshelf speakers to sell in our store. Of course the full complement of Red Wine Audio products! As well as Nuforce, Trends, KingRex, AudioEngineUSA, JohnBlue speakers and more...
More on this section later.
Ken

I'll be waiting with baited breath.
AudioCubes (I know Kohn and his store pretty well on 8th street) is more of a gadget store. I was educating him on his own headphones in the store.
Let's make this work. Give it a year or 2 and I will throw in some cash for upfront costs.
Happy sales to you and all of our Head-Fi MOTs at RMAF.

Alone in my room, lights off, tubes aglow and music flowing, I discovered something. No matter how much hi-end gear I put between the recording and my ears, its the music that moved me to tears. Less is always more.
