Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally...


I sometimes receive e-mail blasts from this seller/retailer.  This online retailer seem to handle many brands of various audio components, some with some name recognition, some with none.  All products are advertised with screaming discounts and cable giveaways (is this a red flag?). 

Some of the brands like GAS and LSA, seem to go back quite some years.  I am trying to understand how this business works and whether it is reputable for selling solid gear.  Or is this like some retailers that buy up old defunct trademarks then sources gear from cheap contract suppliers that make stuff at low cost, cutting corners with quality?

Would appreciate any insight or customer experiences.  There are a number of items that could be of interest to me as I upgrade my two channel system but I can't help but be somewhat wary.

Another recommendation for Walter here.
None lately, but have done numerous transactions over the years.
He's in sales, as the website indicates, but he's a straight shooter, and value oriented  -- I've heard far less of "this megabuck interconnect reverses aging" from him than many other dealers and manufacturers.
Pristine logistics and shipping, very smooth transactions.
Also a smart and knowledgeable guy, good to talk to, and very generous with his time.
If he has kit you ate interested in, I'd have no hesitation, and I'd certainly be willing to give one of his more off brand closeouts a try, if it were something I needed.


Just because I am curious, did you intentionally misspell triode in your screen name? 
I've had several business transactions and phone conversations with Walter. A good guy that stands behind his products. Give him a call and judge for yourself. I recommend Walter if he has what you are looking for.
One transaction with him and it was excellent. Item arrived damaged ( UPS). Called up, had a brand new piece in 2 days. No problem with Wally.
