New York is cheap for imported electronics, but not all that cheap.
Most of the stuff you buy will not be covered by manufacturer's 
warranty, because the dealers are not authorized.  As for CDs
and almost anything else, New York is considerably more expensive
than most anywhere else in the US.  Save your money until you
get OUT of the city into more suburban america.  If you pay more
than $11 for a CD then you haven't done very well.

As for interconnects and speaker wire, save your money.  We all 
know that they don't make the least bit of difference...
