Hello,
I don't if it is the right place for asking this...(posted in introduction and help too...
I live in france but, in a few days, i will go to NY for my honey moon, for 6 days.
For people who live there or for those who already gone.. do you know shops in NY where to listen (and buy) some nomade's equipment like :

Daps :
- Astell & River AK100, 240...
- Hifiman HM-901
- Chord Hugo
- Theorem 720

Headphones :
- Fostex TH-900
- Fostex TH-600

Or :
- Shure SE846
- Unique Melody unversals
- Fitear
- Etymotics ER4P
etc..

I know it exists in Japan and i was wondering this kind of shop couldb be in NY....

Thanks by advance for your help....

NY as in the mainland or the city? Those are two very different areas and while I cannot see something like it being located in the upstate NY area, the city is filled with small boutiques. Also, I can't see people having their honeymoon in upstate NY either. The city is a crazy place mate. Have fun on your honeymoon!
 
Maybe one of these links will help:

Yes, I believe it's around 5%

 

[rawrster]

Tax in NYC is 8.875%

 

[xedjflowx]

i just wanna mention usually at small boutiques in the city i can get the price adjusted if i tell them i won't pay more than $xxx.xx . You may want to try it

 

[Drahtaar]

Ok..thanks for those two informations (taxes and possibility to have a little better price...), thanks to you...

Did they give you a chance to listen to the Martin Logan electrostatic setup.?

 

[Drahtaar]

No, unfortunately...
I listened BW's speakers only. And LCD-X closed headphone, The T5P. But that's all.
