Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

I am a lifelawng and proud of it New Yawkah so the generalized aspersions cast upon NYC  residents genuinely offend me and contradict my personal experiences, and life. 

In that I find most of the remaining hifi bricks and mortar operations to be somewhat off-putting as a whole, suffice it to say that I've been treated well enough by all when I've been frank with the salespeople regarding my budget and/or if I am just kicking tires.  Audio Den on Long Island, Breakthrough in Manhasset, and Stereo Exchange in NYC have earned my money all because I was treated like a customer even those times when I spent zip. 

I'm an effen New Yorker and I ain't rude.  What I find rude is manufacturers price-fixing in this business.  Shop McIntosh and see how their dealers cling to MSRP. 

Good to learn that you are one of the good guys- oblgny.

Happy Listening!

Thanks for the tip...my sister lives in Stuy Town. Next time I visit I'll drop into that shop!

Audio Advisor banned me because I sent a couple items back for a refund. One of the items was actually defective. So much for there money back guarantee.

ebm,

It was only the 2 returns!

I still contend that they have me mixed up with someone else. I talked directly to the then Sales Manger who said that I also call and speak to there sales staff and then don't buy anything.

Just like CPT and Teo?  See the pattern?

Maybe 3 decades ago, I went to a place in Brooklyn (Innovative Audio?) that forced you to sit through a contrived one hour demo so as to shove Lyn Sondek tables up your posterior cavity and referred to VPI as Very Poor Imitation. 

I never went back. 

I bought a VPI.
