Having worked in specialty audio for some 25 years, I decided to finally listen to what many of my friends and customers had suggested all along and opened my own business in 2006 with a focus on the delivery of fine quality music reproduction in the comfort of one’s home.
Blackbird Audio/Gallery is located in the rolling hills of San Diego’s East County, just two blocks from the Santee Lakes recreation preserve.
Nestled in a residential area, we operate on a by-appointment basis. This insures visitors a very high quality experience in a relaxed setting.

Melody Gardot - Love Me Like a River Does
Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart CD
Lyrics:
Love me like a river does
Cross the sea
Love me like a river does
Endlessly
Love me like a river does
Baby don't rush you're no waterfall
Love me that is all
Love me like a roaring sea
Swirls about
Love me like a roaring sea
Wash me out
Love me like a roaring sea
Baby don't rush you're no waterfall
Love me that is all
Love me like the earth itself

A really fun cooperative between my suppliers, Bob Clarke of Profundo, Colleen Cardas and Marc Phillips of Colleen Cardas Imports and a new Hi-Fi Furniture manufacturer from SOCAL, Dave Neilson and Mattew Tafoya of Splintr Designs.
These Cain & Cain BEN speakers came in on consignment (Ok, ok, I had to go pick them up, really). Connected to the Viva Solista LT, with Basis 2200 turntable and Heed Obelisk DT and DA as front ends, the system sings!
I never realized just how big these speakers are, having only seen them online on their website. :)
We received a pair of Heed Audio's Enigma speakers that have been broken-in for use at the Newport Beach Hi-fi show. We'll be running a full Heed system. If you have the ability to attend the show, drop in and say hello. We'll be at the Atrium # 230
