Wow, I had nothing but good experience with The Cable Co. they had every Synergistic Research cable I wanted to demo. I use the same guy all of the time I never felt as if he was rushing me off the phone and/or didn't have time to talk to me. At times when I was unable to reach him via phone he always calls back. When I call my local dealer I'm unable to reach my guy I deal with at times. We need to understand they do get busy and we aren't their only customer.
As far as screening calls from my understanding some of their sales team/reps live in different parts of the country and the calls are routed to them. I know my guy isn't in New Hope, PA.
Regarding customer service when I received the demo cables there was an error made by TCC I made 1 phone call and the problem was resolved on the spot that day, 2 days I received the correct cables and they paid for the shipping.
My local dealer sells Audio Quest cables for the most parts that's it. Actually I save 8% sales tax dealing with The Cable Co. and I received a very nice discount on my purchase and the shipping was free. For the record my local dealer would not have given me the same type of discount on anything, actually it's like pulling teeth trying to get any type of discount from them.
The other local dealer I wouldn't give those clowns the time of day they are nothing but a bunch of snobs. When you walk into a store with no customers and it takes more then 15 minutes for someone to greet you that speaks volumes. Enough said...
Upon finding out the products I wanted and what type of system I have they then wanted to kiss my hand as if I were Michael Corleone.
If you guys know of another audio company where you can demo scores of different cables and/or products please let me know.
