I was thinking the other day about all the audio stores that were around when I was a kid


I know we all grew up in different places so the experience shared here all will not relate to. Though I am sure there will be stories that some can relate to. I grew up,in Detroit Michigan and starting going to Audio stores at the ripe old age of 14 years old. Of course I didn't drive at the time so my father would take me. He loved music but wasn't really into audio equipment. Here are some of the stores I used to go to.

1. Tech hi-fi in Royal Oak
2. Audioland In Roseville
3. Audio Dimensions in birmingham
4. Absolute Sound in Royal Oak
5.Stereoland in Detroit

Of course there were other stores but my father would only take me so far. Everything was so new to me and fresh at the time it was really exciting. I still go to audiophile shows today and some audiophile meetings. And though I still enjoy it I had the most excitement when I was a kid.

Have you visited Audio Dimensions recently? Awesome place, haven't been for a few years...
Still owned by Harry, ARC - Magnepan - Vandersteen,  lots of great stuff...
there are still a few good stores there, but I haven't been in the others a long time.  But visiting Harry is always a treat...
My experience is the exact opposite of pmotz . I live a few hours away. But always plenty of music of various great equipment. Haven't been in about 3 years 
HiFi Buys had Lansing, E Lansing and other ones too...gone a long time...Karl was the owner I believe...
