Who is the WORST Audio Shop?

Guys-
name a few of your local or fave Audio shops in MN and WI.

Happy Listening!

One of my daughters went to the "U" and the other U Dub.  Agree that Madison is a bad place for adults ;-)
@jafant: ultra fidelis in mke.

I split my time between DC and NYC. My favorites in NYC are Rhapsody Audio and In Living Stereo. My favorite in DC is Deja Vu (actually, in Virginia, but not far from downtown). Among the three, Deja Vu wins hands-down for the equipment (some of it is amazing), friendliness, etc.; they also do a good job repairing equipment that they do not manufacture or sell. My least favorite, as many have indicated, is Sound by Singer. In addition, I sometimes try to visit manufacturers when I travel. Especially when dealing with a small company, it pays to be on friendly terms with someone who designs/makes the equipment.

Walked into Fidelis A/V in Nashua NH for the first time a year ago, asking about Pass Labs and speakers. Talked a bit about my going preamp-less experience (DAC into amp) with the sales guy. He went off the rails and proceeded to put me down for this idea and when I asked him to give me good technical reasons he couldn’t, instead acted as if I had no idea about what I was talking about. I walked out. I vividly remember his alligator shoes, which made me think of the old white-belted salesman stereotype from years past. Doubtful I’ll ever go back.

In defense of Singer (and NYC), I did business with them a few times when they were on 16th St(?) next to Union Square in the 2000s. No "huge" purchases. Was never treated badly. Once they knew who I was on subsequent visits, the woman at the front counter near the door always remembered me and found my salesperson. Haven’t visited since they moved to the new location.
