Cheapest places to buy gear?


Hey. I'm hoping people will offer up the names and perhaps numbers or contacts, email, web address etc of the CHEAPEST places they have found to buy various audiophile items: everything from power amps, interconnects, tonearms, cardas wire, caps, cartridges, etc...
I think this will help a lot of people out besides cheap-ass li'l ol me.

I have bought several high-end items (Bryston amp, etc.)from a "clicks and mortar" dealer in Santa Clara, CA. The owner is Danny Oovlin, and his business is "Bestofdeal". Danny used to advertise in the small classified ads in the back pages of Stereophile, although I have not seen his ad recently. Danny handles a number of brands, and I have found him to be very prompt and professional in his transactions. The easiest way to initially reach Danny is by E-mail at: bestofdeal@aol.com
Ebay.com ....READ the descriptions carefully & ask seller questions before buying . Ebay is a little work but can be very cheap. HCM audio(listed as an audiogon dealer) is great for cables & power cords , Soundcity.com has some great closouts call them .
Okay ... I can't help getting on my soap box here. In a related thread titled "How Much Commision do Salesmen make? " I spent words on the value of your dealer. Please look at this thread and keep it in mind when you look to endrun the dealer in your area. Even a certfied cheapskate like myself can have a good dealer relationship. Don't assume that your dealer only cares or spends his time on the Krell/Levinson set. If you are a buyer and respect his right to make a living, you'll be treated with respect in return. Those who get the dealer to spend time, then buy the same component elsewhere to save a few dollars don't deserve service or respect from the dealer scorned!

OK - off my soap box now. Thanks for reading. Listen to LIVE music, support the artists that create it.
