Interesting thread. I'll add a few.

Alan Shaw, md of Harbeth Audio (I think that's their name now).

Alastair Gardner, proprietor of Signals in England. Alastair sells Harbeth loudspeakers over the web and a lot of other stuff and gives great advice and handholding. Welcome to stay at my house anytime he comes to Southern Cal.

Ray Kimber (not a recommendation of his products (good stuff - just don't know what anyone might be comparing it to) just that he's a really good guy.

Jeff Joseph (ditto).

Everyone at Reference Audio Video.

One of my favorites, no longer in business in SoCal, Mel Murakami. I think he moved to New York.

Scott (Disco) is fantastic. Goes out of his way to take care of you and has the time to talk with you about your system and make recommendations without any hard sell at all.

In no particular order:
Jim and everyone at Thiel
Paul and everyone at P.S.Audio
Ken and the gang at Progressive Audio
Tim and the gang at Overture
Mike Leschner @ The Stereo Trading Outlet
Cable Company
Audio Advisor.
Someone should start a thread on BAD dealers?
