It's on MLK I believe. I drive by it a lot and it never seems to be open, I've always been curious though....

Knowing Dan, you probably have to contact him: Dan Alexander Audio to meet him there. I can't picture him sitting in there and waiting for people to walk in...

IMHO that is not Salsa it is a bizarre tomato 'paste'

And good day to you sir!

Jules! When were you there? My house (and studio) are half a block away. I could have shown you my collection of shirts from AES conventions past...

That fine tomato paste as you call it, contains trace amounts of crack. I am sure of it. Very addicting. They are selling it online now and ship it to places unknown.

Good day to you, as well! Harrumph!

I will have to try it...

Btw, SFO is the airport.

Yep, but it's a pretty common abbreviation nonetheless, especially when written... not something you'd say in conversation but in emails/forums I see it used a lot, so get used to it that way. Same with Portland, lots of people use 'PDX' as a catch-all abbreviation. I've even written 'YVR' when simply referring to Vancouver... maybe it's a west-coast thing.

To stay on topic, I've never seen a hollowbody in the place...

They had at least one I-have-no-idea-what-it-was piece of junk last time I was there... maybe it was better than I thought and they sold it quick.
