Announcing Alma Music and Audio, San Diego’s latest audio emporium!


Alma Music and Audio is opening for business today, with the goal of offering quality audio products and services, as well as a highly curated selection of vinyl records.


The store is located in La Jolla, a beachside area of San Diego, in a 2200 square foot house. With 6 individual listening environments, the idea is to offer an enjoyable music experience to audiophiles and newcomers alike.


Some of the lines/products we carry include: YG Acoustics, Avantgarde Acoustics, MSB Technologies, Kubala-Sosna, darTZeel, Evolution Acoustics, Kronos, Ortofon, Auralic, Hegel, Audionet, Solid Steel, iFi, Music Hall, among others. Other lines will be added in the following months.


An integral part of the store, the vinyl records section will have, on average, 2000 records, covering a variety of styles and genres, both old and new.

Alma will also distribute Audiopax in the US. The brazilian brand has gained quite a following years ago, and now it’s back with new and exciting products, and with US presence to boot.


Everybody’s welcome to stop by!

Thanks, guys!

As DaveyF has probably noticed, it's been a long gestation, and we're not 100% done yet, but we couldn't hold it further!


Thanks, we appreciate the (local) support!

Some excellent brands there, Alex.

Make sure you get in on the first production run of the LHC-208! It will sell like hot cakes...

Thanks again, guys...

Yes, I have high hopes for the LHC-208! I've seen it from the start, and was always amazed by Hervé's ideas, and ofcourse, execution!

It already has a spot on the window display :)

Today, the good folks at Alma Audio hosted the SDMAG group at an informal get together. The systems were all set up and playing beautiful music. We were treated to a listen on their large YG's matched with a wonderful Kronos TT, an Ortofon A95 cartridge running into a D'Agostino integrated and cobbled together with Kubala Sosna. An excellent sounding system that portrayed the old war horse- Pink Floyd DSOTM with aplomb,and the wonderful equally old war horse...Dave Brubeck Time Out ( an original six-eye mono) with superior resolution.

Anyone visiting San Diego, now has good reason to stop off in La Jolla and savor some of the great sounds at Alma Audio...

Congrats and well done Fabio....:cool:

I plan to finally get down there this week

Are you in town Alexandre or are you back in Brazil.

Steve,

I'm back in Brazil. I'll arrive on the 19th (of May), and then on to Newport!
But Fabio is in the store full time, so you're all more than welcome to stop by! The store # is (858) 412-5530, so if you want, call ahead and let him know you're coming!

Andre,

Did you stop by yesterday?


thanks,
alexandre

Ouch, 60 days... Well, hopefully you'll find another great place! San Diego is just beautiful, full of great neighbourhoods... You're staying in the SD area, right?

Here are some pics of the event. With the flood of people in, we actually neglected to take more pictures!
