Arizona HiFi not only offers some of the finest brands, but they\u2019ve also created an atmosphere where enjoyment of music and all things cool are at the forefront.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Formally known as Arizona Tube Audio, Arizona HiFi was founded by Dan Mazza, who had decided to phase away from the business in 2000. Glen Bevell, who currently serves as Arizona HiFi\u2019s steward, took ownership because he couldn\u2019t imagine the Phoenix community without this wonderful institution. Music has always been a central part of Glen\u2019s life; early on, family members would gather during the holidays and sooner or later somebody would pick up an instrument and begin to perform. Sadly for Glen, musicianship wasn\u2019t meant to be, but developing a good ear was.<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> This, combined with Glen\u2019s constant stream of random audio gear, which he, along with his older brother, performed <i>Frankensteinian<\/i> experimentations with, lead his never ending pursuit of the ultimate in audio performance. <\/span>This culminated in Glen\u2019s professional involvement in the specialty audio industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Arizona HiFi wouldn\u2019t be complete without mentioning Glen\u2019s second in command, Bill Goodman. Bill has been a constant fixture in the Phoenix hifi scene since 1979. Bill possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of audio gear and its history \u2013 Bill has passed this knowledge\u00a0down to Glen and the next generation. Away from the shop, Bill spends a considerable amount of time devoted to Phoenix\u2019s homegrown live music scene. Today, Bill spins tales and helps tend to the flock of Arizona Hifi followers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Arizona Hifi has created a positive and constantly busy environment; this is without doubt due to the energy and soul that Glen and Bill bring to the store every day. Please don\u2019t hesitate to visit their website, pick up the phone, or even better, grab some of your favorite new music and swing by the store.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/tubes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2251\" src=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/tubes.jpg\" alt=\"tubes\" width=\"584\" height=\"313\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona HiFi is a hotbed for music lovers, located at the always-busy corner of Camelback and Central, just north of downtown Phoenix.
