---

We published the first directory of Southern California audio dealers back in August of 1988, and the second one in January of 1991. For every three letters we sent out to dealers from the 1991 list, two came back indicating the store was no longer at that address and that there is no forwarding address. Similar results occurred between the first and second edition. And, just as before, the most recent EIA Consumer Electronics Group statistics states, on the contrary, that the sale of audio products continues to be on the rise.

Obviously, consumers must be getting the bulk of these wares from department stores and large "mid-fi" chains such as Circuit City and The Good Guys. If you know exactly what you want, it is not impossible to find some good components at these department stores and chains. But much of their merchandise is quite mediocre--and they receive more than enough publicity in the local papers. Accordingly, this directory focuses on the high end, where salespeople know their products better, can make wiser recommendations, and can provide you with decent demonstration facilities.

"High end" is a term made popular by The Absolute Sound. It is often used to describe very expensive audio and home theater equipment. However, we believe it more accurately describes equipment that is designed for the audiophile consumer seeking maximum fidelity over all other considerations (e.g., features, cosmetics) at a given price point. The dealers listed in this directory carry components that share this design and marketing bent.

In compiling this directory, we gleaned every source we could think of and wrote to every single dealer in the area that we knew of. This list is by no means exhaustive, however. If we've missed any dealers that desired inclusion, please let us know and we'll include the information in an addendum.

This site offers the audio perfectionist a cost effective alternative to the manufactured commercial HiFi audio products. We offer a wide range of amplifiers and loudspeakers with the opportunity to build a very exclusive set of audio equipment at a fraction of the cost.

We offer kits from several manufactures that include Hawk Audio, Audio Note, OddWatt, Sander Sound Systems, ERA Audio, Tentlabs and DIY HiFi Supply. While some of the designs are complicated, such as our P-12 or L3 pre-amplifiers, in general, building our kits is easy. They all include a step-by-step manual with full support from our staff if you need our help. Also note that we offer a full guarantee on all products. Since we do offer some of the finest audio equipment in the world and realize not every audiophile enjoys kit assembly, we also offer professionally assembled and tested versions of every model on this site. This option allows you to choose your options and features like 99% Pure Silver Binding Posts, V-Caps, Vishay Z-Foil Resistors, Jensen 4 Pole Capacitors, Bybee Quantum Purifiers, Audio Note Tantilum Resistors and Capacitors or Silver Hook Up wire - just a small list of what is available. Finally, we also offer a few selected manufactured accessories and designs from Aurum Cantus, Jolida, Clear Audio, Marantz, Shanling, Sander Sound Systems, Kimber Kable and others. Please inquire sales@xerocommaudio.com or 707-795-0923 ext 7006 for more details.
