In Reply to: Earsnova is supposedly pretty bad also... posted by kuma on April 24, 2007 at 08:25:47:
No, not from "WarGames" (1983), from Earsnova! I first met up with him when he was working as a salesman for a Hi-Fi store on Long Island. It was the late 1970s and I was ready to plunk down some cash for a Bryston amp and CJ tube preamp.I just had one question about the not-so-good noise specification for the CJ preamp and he blew up at me! I walked out. A few years later he opened his own store, Earsnova, in Great Neck. There he stood out as a snob in area full of them! Strangely, my boss at the time got along with him and purchased some equipment from him. Eventually, even I ended up buying a USED Bedini 25/25 from him.
A number of years later he moved Earsnova to Manhattan, but from what I heard, he never changed.
Follow Ups:
Northern Boulevard, Manhasset.
That was the first place I met that man.
If he wasn't the ruddest, snobbest, SOB I've ever met in a audio shop.
I believe you are correct, Audio By Zimet. The store where I first met up with Joshua was on the south side of Northern Blvd. Years later, I seem to remember them on the north side, so maybe they just moved across and down the street a bit. Either way, your recollection of Josh is right on!
I was given his personnel phone no.
When I called it was answered by his answering machine.
It had the strangest and most funny message I have ever heard.
Too bad I didn't write it down or at least kept his phone no.GTF
Did Zimet move the building on Northern boulvard that was on a curve in the road where NB meets Community Dr.?GTF
