I'm ashamed I haven't been to more of the shops in Seattle. My favorite is Definitive Audio, but they are in Bellevue (15 minutes east of where you'll be staying). There is a shop near the U district with a good roster of manufacturers.

When is your trip? Maybe we can hit up some of the shops together.

    I bought my big Parasound from Hawthorne. They double-charged my credit card. Instead of taking the charge off, they sent me a check. Pretty annoying, but I guess it worked out in the end. This was all online, BTW.

    There is a Definitve Audio right by Hawthorne. Actually there are quite a few good shops in about a 5 block radius. Check out Definitive. Love that place.

    As far as taking an amp on an airplane, and trust me on this one, I'm a pilot. DON'T PUT IT IN THE CARGO (checked baggage). I cannot stress this enough. Unless of course you want to test the warranty and trying to explain to the manufacturer how a bunch of bag-throwing monkies got a hold of it, and why there is mystery goo that smells just like Pert-Plus all over the place. I wouldn't put ANYTHING I valued into the back of a commercial aircraft. By the way the airline will not be responsible for you loss, garaunteed.
    There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.

    Hawthorne is pretty cool...new and used and plenty of it!

    Definitive is also in U-district, as is Magnolia, J&S Phonogragh, Precision Audio (more repairs), Music Movies and More (tons of lps).

    I work in U-district just blocks away from all these! If you hook up with Shizelbs, let me know, I might be available too.

    Couldn't find Music, Movies and More - too generic for a search engine,

    might not even be the name...I just know it says that on the sign. it is a "hole-in-the-wall" basement shop on the corner of 45th and Brooklyn (? 1 block down from University).
