Calling US Bay Area Naimees

Hello,
I recently purchased a Nait5/Stageline/CD5i from audiovision in San Franciso. They have Naim stuff as well as other brands. They carry Rega, Clearaudio, Wilson Benesch Turntables. If you are looking for heavy high end stuff I would try Music Lovers Sudio in Berkeley. No Naim, but they carry high end turntable manufacturers.

Here is a link to their website:

Peter Litwack from Music by Design (see www.naimusa.com and click on dealers) is by far the best audio dealer I have ever worked with. While it is true he does not have a typical brick-and-mortar shop, he is incredible knowledgeable about Naim, and music in general--much more so than the "other guys" in the bay area, which is not surprising since they deal with dozens of brands, whereas Peter focuses much of his business on Naim. Also, unlike many dealers, he is not pushy, condescending, or arrogant about audio equipment. You really get a sense that he loves music and its reproduction. He is also quite an interesting guy with experience in the music biz. It is well worth the drive up to Marin to have a conversation and demonstration of Naim gear with Peter. I would never want to buy gear from anyone else.

Thanks for the input guys.

I will try some of these poeple. I need to be carefull not to waste their time so I will contact them and explain my motives before descending on them.

Regards
GEOFF
