The Audio Doctor makes a house call

I would like to contribute  to the discussion about Dave, the “Audio Doctor.”   I live in California but, after many phone conversations and texts where he provided advice about my system with no promise of any return, we decided a trip here from New Jersey would be worthwhile and worked out an arrangement.  Dave brought a lot of accessories for me to audition. First, we repositioned my speakers (KEF Reference 5s), which really improved the sound.  We tried a DAC (Aqua) to compare with my current Auralic Vega (first generation), wireworld interconnects and several other things.  I already had purchased an Innuous Zenith server from Dave and we set that up.  Dave was very enthusiastic about my speakers (which he sells but I already had purchased elsewhere) and my electronics (Audio Research amp, pre amp, phono stage) and never suggested buying new ones.   

At no point did I feel he was pressuring me or trying to sell me something just to make a sale.  My system is definitely sounding better now and I may move ahead with some other improvements he recommended. Of course, Dave is in the audio business and makes his livelihood that way but I think he was genuinely interested in helping me get better sound.  I know that some have objected to him and other dealers posting on this board.  Personally, I have found  his postings very helpful.  Those who don’t can always skip over them—no one is forcing you to read anything.  

Finally, I met Dave for the first time when he came here and have no connection other than as a recent customer.

Sorry Mes, as mentioned above. Most people find our posts informative.

If you don't like what we say you are free to stop reading. As per shilling,  many people are interested to what products are working and what are not working as well as another type of product. 

To date we have tested vibraton isolation products from: HRS, Stillpoints, Isoacoustic, Critical Mass, aSymposisium, Acoustic System, and Black Diamond footers. 

We have tested power products from PS, Isotek, Audience, Audioquest, Audio Magic, Shunyata, Running Springs, and Silver Circle. 

The point being these types of demos and comparisons are valuable in determining what is the most efficacious of these types of devices.

If you don't mention the name of the product than the post is stupid and non sensical. You think we purchase these tuning products because they don't work?  

The reality is that we and other dealers who sell these types of products have to purchase them, even at wholesale these products cost us quite a bit. 

We can solicit clients to write on these posts that these products were highly effective and made a huge difference in the demo if you notice FAST the OP did comment that what we showed him made his system sound better.

His friend from the California Audio Society was blown away by the improvement the Stein products made as well.

It is up to the Audiogon readers to determine if they are interested in these products and then they can contact us if they like or any other dealer to verifiy and possibly demo them. 

The reality is that tuning products, footers, isolation devices, acoustic resonators, power cords, power conditioners all work and can make a huge difference in the sound of someone's system and is part of our arsenal of products that we use to create better sound.

Do you have any experience with these types of products to further the discussion?
