Naim dealers in NYC
Posted by: analogmusic on 30 June 2016
Which are the Naim dealers in NYC please?
Also for San Jose, CA
I live here (near San Jose CA). Strange that the urls from Tony2011 show up all the Apple Stores in the area, do not go there as you do not find anything remotely Naim. Some HIFI stores in the area show that they sell Naim (according to the given urls), but they do not know anything about Naim or have Naim stuffs in stock.
Talk to Gene Rubin, he can make some recommendations.
Gene Rubin is a very good dealer but lost his Naim dealership. He's also 6 hours south of San Jose. Closer to San Jose is AudioVision in San Francisco. They sell Naim and, in the one non-Naim transaction I have had with them, they very helpful and professional.
While browsing the page, If one does not specify the what sort of gear one is after, eg. Classic, Muso, amplifier, etc, the search will include every shop that sells Naim products even if it is just the Muso or QB as sold by Apple stores.

Clay, so you are my neighbor? I know about Audio Vision, but have not been there physically because of some feedback.
Peter Litwack in San Rafael is a low profile Naim dealer. Chris Koster recommended him when I was looking for some Naim stuffs.
Peter Litwack occasionally contributes to the Naim Forum.
Accent on music still has some of the most knowledgeable people around. Primarily naim dealers BUT not in nyc,in Mt.Kisco,about 40 miles north of nyc and only open thurs,friday ,sat. these days. Dave and Alma Wilson (not of wilson speaker fame) are husband and wife who can help you there.
Brian Hartsell At The Analog Room in San Jose is a Naim dealer now. Hard core two channel analog shop with a great record collection and legendary turntable expertise. He had a Kleos SL in stock if that tells you anything
Venice Audio is a long term first rate Naim dealer in the LA area. Peter Selesnick had great taste in music and gear and has one of the coolest "stores" around. He turned us on to the Blumenstein Thrashers and he was so right.
I second Accent on Music.
I also suggest you avoid Hartsell.
In NYC
Innovative has a MUCH larger showroom and selection
