my dad is going down to San Francisco for a conference, so are there any good headphone shops down there?

Harmony Audio/Video carries Grado:
Harmony Audio Video - Home

AudioVision, carries the Sennheiser HD650 and some Ultrasone:
Hi Fi Home Theater San Francisco High End Electronics AV Projectors Highend Speaker Systems Loudspeaker System

Music Lovers (I actually haven't been here yet):
Music Lovers Audio Video Installation - The Bay Area's Best High End Stereo, Home Theater, and Custom Installation Store For All Your Electronic And Analog Component Audio And Video

Both Harmony and AudioVision should have demo headphones setup for you to try. I'm pretty sure there are other places in the city to try out headphones, but this is all I know of so far. Hope this helps.

lui boy hit the highlights, but you should search "san francisco" in the thread titles of the members lounge forum and you will find several similar threads with various ideas. Guitar Center on Van Ness has various options, Audio Visions usually has some Beyers also, and there are probably others listed.

Sorry to thread jack, but does anybody know anywhere in SF that sells iPod line out docks. Thanks

From memory, would you happen to know which other cans AudioVision sells?

I see the Sennheiser 650's, but that's about it...
