Enough is Enough


I've been looking at changing my DAC. I was considering Lampizator, Playback Designs, and Ideon. Recently a dealer basically told me(with the exception of my subwoofer and music server) my system sucks. He went on to say, I should sell my amps, preamp, DAC, speakers, and start all over! I've owned several different speakers, amplifiers, and DACs. I've attended shows and several different dealers show rooms. In fact, I directly compared one of the amplifiers the dealer recommended to a Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and preferred the 625 S2. I didn't build my system in a vacuum. I determined what I wanted to spend, listened and purchase what I preferred. I've been in sales and submit it would have been better to recommend a DAC that would improve my system. So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some dealer will tell me it's crap and I have to start over.

deep_333,

You can't see my other sub, but I have two subs. The subs were set-up by the dealer using a mic/REW and several hours of listening,

@OP Any sensible dealer will never dis a customer's system, so I would just go somewhere else. Nice system BTW.

Your dealer is right. Your system sucks! I’m happy to take it off of your hands for 25% of retail value. J/k 😃

all kidding aside, this is a great system that most of us would love to own. 

Yes, find another dealer, Just wondering who the dealer is who doesn't like your equipment. 

I cannot believe that the dealer asked you to chuck away everything in your system. Only a moron would say things like that about the components you own and the treatments you have in place to make it sound optimal. He must have smoked something, just before you entered his store!
