The Best Audio Dealer

Have to agree about John Rutan of Audio Connections in Verona NJ. I've bought mostly accessories from him but when my Wadia CD player had a problem with the drawer getting stuck, he agreed to send it to Wadia even though I had told him it wasnt under warantee as I was the 2nd owner (having bought it from a fellow 'Goner). One of the class acts even though he goes a little overboard at times on Vandersteen, lol.

Also, I forgot to mention Jeff Catalano of Highwater Sound in Manhattan. I bought a TW Akustic Raven One, Ortofon 12 inch tonearm, and Dynavector cartridge from him in 2009. He was fantastic to deal with, no pressure at all, let us listen to as many recorods as we wanted to. You know someone is a music lover first when you see 28,000 LP's lining the shelves he built for his loft! Curteous and knowledgeable, he even spent time with us showing us around his loft apartment where he did his own work building much of the interior of it. And get this: the only parking spot we could find on his block was an illegal one, so he had his girlfriend take the keys to the car and stand there next to it, reading a newspaper, in case the police drove by, so she could move it while we were listening to LP's!!!! Jeff gets my vote for dealer of the century.

Steve Monte of Quest for Sound in PA. Really a place with no pressure, you can get helpful advice and just go to listen to some gear and tunes.

Good to hear about Audio Connections in NJ. As they may have some of the gear that may be on my short list for upcoming systems.
