What happened to Berkeley Audio Design

Erik
I applaud you for receiving the feedback in such an open a gracious manner. This thread could have easily devolved into a mean one. Thanks everyone for responding - I have been interested in BAD Reference but was holding off to see what happens with MQA. Glad to hear they are incorporating it.

Well, personally I get the idea that no one can keep a brick and mortar store open without making money, it's that simple.

I'm happy to hear BAD is doing so well in NY too.

It makes me wonder though, you can't keep a store open making all the wrong moves either. You would think that after getting a high end brand like BAD the owners would be motivated to sell it.

Best,

Erik

I have no information about the store. I do know that many things effect what brands carried including margins. I was referring in my previous email to you being able to receive the feedback that it is fair and gentlemanly to be very careful in how questions are posed so as to not cast doubt upon anyone’s or company’s reputation without clear evidence to back up and before vigorously checking with them first to allow clarification of question. In other words I find it wisest to assume good motives and performance unless proven otherwise. That said, before I buy a piece of equipment I do very vigorous due diligence because I want to be long term happy. Following this dictum, I have been fortunate to have terrific relationships with people in this business that span decades.

And I made yet another mistake!

I meant to ask that of @ukeleleplayer

My bad again!!

Erik, a quick phone-number lookup yielded this: http://www.buzzfile.com/business/Berkeley-Audio-Design,-LLC-510-277-0512. Their office appears to be in El Cerrito (practically in my front yard) according to this link.
