Amazing how people post things when they do not know what they are talking about! There is a Hi-Fi Shop in the 5 points area in Columbia SC. Upstairs Audio 746 Harden Street Columbia, SC 29205 in Five Points 803-256-EARS (3277) http://www.upstairsaudio.com There is also a pretty good vinyl shop across the street.
From personal experience, I can tell you NOT to go to Upstairs Audio. I purchased a $450 used CD player from them, was told it was still under warranty and that they would honor that. When it stopped reading CDs 2 weeks later, they refused to honor their word. The owner told me (no lie), "I am not responsible for what my sales staff tell customers."
I went inside Upstairs Audio, although it was many years ago. The only reason I remember it was because it made such a completely forgettable impression on me the moment I did - I'll just say that about everything you could imagine to violate the concept of a "professional" audio salon would apply...
Try and see what's happening in Charelston these days.
