Where to shop for clones?

[Tom Strano <8STRANO_T@spcvxa.spc.edu>]

The short version:

Is there any *GOOD* music store in Northern New Jersey or New York City
that I could shop for clone equipment at?




The long version, if you feel like reading gripes:

I went to Sam Ash in Paramus, NJ, to check out clones.  I had called
them before and they said they carry XB-2's, Leslie 302C's, could order
122XB's. When I got there, the only Hammond clone -related equipment they
had was a Voce Micro B and a DigiTech RPM-1.  The guy hooked up the
Micro B with a weighted keyboard, and plugged headphones into the back
of it.  *sigh*

I don't expect a store to have every clone and know everything, but they
didn't even have an XB-2 on the floor, which would have fit nicely
alongside all those synths, which was their main focus.  To add to my
frustration, I couldn't even find a MIDI controller I was happy with.
Nor could I even find a 13 note MIDI pedalboard.

Is there any music store in northern New Jersey or New York City that
I could shop for clone equipment at?

P.S.  Yes, Hammond purists, I realize that clones will never sound quite
like the real thing.  But, sometimes 'close' is enough until the real thing
becomes practical...  Hey, at least it's not chopping.  :-)
