Hi.

Since I'm in Constanza, I've no great knowledge of Santo Domingo and it's distributed shopping, so hope someone can help.

I'm looking for a shop that specialises in hi-fi components. It needs to have competent experts (not just people who sell if you point at what you want) and needs to sell things at component level rather than a whole complete Hi-fi system. So they should be able to sell separate amplifier, speakers, cables, etc. but all with knowledge of what's compatible.

Can anyone recommend where's best?

Thanks

This is a vague hunch, but have a look on 30 de Marzo between Aves. Mexico and 27 de Febrero (going north, after you pass the Palacio Nacional) - lots of musical instruments and audio equipment shops on that stretch. They might just include what you're looking for.

There's the BOSE shop - RUIZ Centro Stereo on Lincoln just before 27 de Febrero going south (towards the Malecon) check first if they have what you need - telephone 809 566 5555

One of the things that you really have to be careful of with high-end components in the DR is the quality of power you are able to feed your equipment.

A power conditioner(to stop damaging surges and to filter disruptive EMI/RFI line noise) and specialized electrical outlets that are rated for 220V I believe would be an absolute must.

I have an 875 watt battery back-up with surge-protected outlets for my computer and was amazed at how many times the power goes out(granted, its' only for a few seconds but it still happens).

And my audio system sucks up a lot of juice(I run a BAT VK-500 power amp that has a separate power cord for each channel) so I know how important having a clean, steady power source is.

Thanks all.

Bose is too specialised and too too expensive! But I still appreciaed the effort.

I'll try Chirimoya's directions - it'll be good to see a different part of SD.

Berzin - thanks! Yep, I have 3 levels of protection between the grid/inverter and my modem/router/computers and I still have problems! So I'll investigate the power conditioner if and when I can find the rest of what I need - components that will let me play the same music from a laptop (or PC) to 4 different locations - but each has to be separately controlled for volume so needs it's own local amp. (Whole thing will be powered via an inverter but I've no idea what battery capacity yet as the batteries have other things to do too - probably an 8-pack, enough to power a large house.)

Cheers.

Bose is like the generic, low end music amp. What I don't get is you asked for specializes in hi-fi, but Bose is too too expensive?
But then you are asking for almost professional equipment but at a low cost.
