I just wrote this as part of a reaction to a post: " Don Gort, now gone but half of the team at the local audiophile shop, loved and was a true believer in tubes and vinyl. He would not at all like the way my current systems sound. He was a world class great guy and a good friend, so it was all good. I don't use any of the gear I got from him anymore, but I still find it difficult to part with."

I imagine many of you have fond memories of an audio(phile) shop that may or may not still be there, and of the people who made it memorable. Not because of what they carried but because knowing them was one of the better things in your past. I would love to hear the members go on as they please about this. In my case, I have two, because my father was a quality control engineer at Shure Bros, an audio enthusiast, a music lover, a great teacher and influence, and a really sweet man.


As the thread starter, I can say that similar record store memories are welcome here.
