Any Good Gadget Stores In SF Area?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I'm joining my wife in helping her babysit her sister's 18 month old twins in Albany, CA. For a week. Since I can only go to the Raiders Image stores so much, I aws hoping someone could recommend a gadget/electronics/guy in the area. I'm more than willing to drive an hour for a good find. Yep, more than willing.

Any recommendations would be most appreciated. :-)

Fry's!

You know, Fry's would have exotic a few years ago but they've been in Chicagoland for a while now. It's still kind of novelty to go into a store with two aisles of flashlights.

There's a hifi store north Berkeley, which is adjacent to Albany. I think its Music lover's or something like that. SF stereo used to have a store on University but I think they closed down and moved out of the area.

There's also a Magnolia at Bay Street in Emeryville. The nearest Fry's is in south Fremont, which is over an hour's drive from Albany, longer if the 80 and the Nimitz have their way with you....

Music Lovers has been added to list of places to visit along with The Apple Company Store. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

It was interesting to see a Magnolia Store (yes, I went to the one on Bay Street) sans Best Buy. Much much larger with frankly better informed, more interested personnel.

The Music Lover's Store in Berkeley really was a great combination of high-end products with down-to-earth, knowledgeable people. While I took a pass on the $2,000 Transparent cable, I did purchase a pair of $35 (marked down) Monster AC power cords.
