Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.

calvinj,  did you buy the Ayon thru Audiogon and did USA Tube ship it to you directly? That's too much money to spend to be ignored.
I ask because I just bought a preamp from them, the sale went fine, and the item was shipped from the manufacturer.

Excellent stories guys. Unfortunately, there are many "flakes" in our wonderful hobby. Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

@lowrider57  my cd2s was a demo piece. I bought it from USA tube audio themselves.  You should be ok.  My sale ran smoothly and the guy was nice at first.   Then the problem came with the remote. Then I felt like he could  have suggested something with a warmer signature but he flat out did not care because he got a 4000 plus sale and didn't care about getting me taken care of.  It is one of the things where I learned that some folks don't care in high end.  Would be careful from this point on.
