Audiophiles there know that AudioNirvana is a\u00a0place where they can get together to share their hobby and purchase the best products in the market, made by the best brands in the world. All of this is possible because of the efforts of AudioNirvana\u2019s owner, Nelson Gomez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Music has always been a part of Nelson\u2019s life. Ever since he was a child he would sit in front of his father&#8217;s TUNER for hours, listening to all types of music. Even as a child, Nelson could appreciate that each genre of music created something special.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">He entered into the world of high end audio in 1997 as an end-user, and ever since then, he\u2019s made a point to attend industry shows around the world, creating and fostering relationships with key players in the hifi community. However, it wasn\u2019t until five years ago that a friend suggested he turn his passion into his career, as an agent and representative for the brands that he loves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2518\" src=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-2.41.05-PM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-01-24 at 2.41.05 PM\" width=\"798\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-2.41.05-PM.png 798w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-2.41.05-PM-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-24-at-2.41.05-PM-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For Nelson, it is of the utmost importance that he identifies with the brands he represents. Nordost is one of those brands. He says, \u201cNordost permits me to demonstrate to my clients what their technology is capable of, with no limitations or anything that would change the characteristics of its sound\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">AudioNirvana has a unique business model.\u00a0 Nelson often invites the companies that he represents to the Dominican Republic to engage in presentations and\/or discussions about their products. This gives his clients the rare opportunity to have a direct interaction with the manufacturers of the products they love. Apart from these periodic discussions, Nelson also gives product presentations, teaches classes on technology, and entertains his clients in his shop, so that his customers have the chance to observe, and have a better understanding of, the products they are interested in purchasing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the Dominican Republic, the high end audio market has been growing consistently. That\u2019s due, in great part, to the relationships that Nelson has cultivated with his clients, which are, according to him, his greatest investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2517 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Unknown-1-767x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Unknown-1\" width=\"584\" height=\"779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Unknown-1-767x1024.jpeg 767w, https:\/\/nordost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Unknown-1-224x300.jpeg 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 85vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Michael Taylor The High End industry in the Dominican Republic has a special shop available to them: AudioNirvana.
