The Best Audio Dealer


My vote for the best dealer award goes to Mario,owner of TOYS FROM THE ATTIC info@tfta.com This guy helped me break into analog.I made alot of mistakes because "Dave,you don't listen" Any way Mario was always to the rescue.He,over the phone has helped me build an awesome sounding stereo.He has always given me the Best price and I know he hasnt made much money from me.He calls me on occasion to see "whats up" I have never met the man or been to his shop because its over 300 miles away

COME ON GUYS,LETS LETS KEEP THIS GOING! DEALERS(GOOD) DESERVE RECOGNITION! DEALERS RESPOND ALSO IF YOU WANT.WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM US?
Still trying different dealers on line. Have yet to discover any bad dealers, I plan on trying Toys from Attic from what I am reading here. But I am looking for a great dealer that is not too greedy with profits rather more interested in helping many high end audiophiles like us get a step closer to high end gear without breaking our banks.
None that I can think of. Most of them that I've dealt with are con-men and assholes. Factory-Direct all the way, baby!
BUSTED,Iam curious to know what products you buy factory direct? I cant think of any true hi-end products are sold that way.Some wont even allow mail order.A good dealer adds to the value of a product.
I think that the best shop that I have been to are Immedia Sound on 4th Street in Berkeley, California (of course famous for its turntables and arms and as importer of Audio Physic, Lyra, and representatives for Herron, etc.). I have also enjoyed going to Quintessence in Napierville, Illinois, and the Audible Difference in Palo Alto, California. For mail order sale of used equipment, I too have had a very good experience in dealing with Mario at Toys from the Attic, having bought a Mark Levinson model 25S phono preamp from him.
