Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan


Hello all, I just wanted to say a few words about my experience with Mr. Rutan over the weekend. I have read numerous threads on how helpful he is and what a nice guy he is. I want to take this opportunity to confirm everything is TRUE to the highest order. I spent most of Saturday afternoon on the phone with Mr. Rutan with him helping me trouble shoot a problem with an Aesthetix pre-amp I purchased used from an individual, he had no stake in the deal. He very patiently walked me many scenarios to find the problem, which he did. I would have never figured it out on my own and am deeply grateful for his help and guidance. He is without a doubt one of the best in the biz. Sincerely Allen Sill  Wichita, Kansas.

I’ll add my own accolades. I’ve only been here a short time, but Johnny reached out to me, offered to chat in the phone to discuss my questions, (which I did), offered information and advice, and just reached out to me the other day offering to help me out further. This all about equipment not purchased through Audio Connection. Yes indeed, a true gentleman and asset to this community.
Sounds like all the buyers of used gear not from Johnny should pull together and send him lunch :-)
Walked into the Audio Connection to purchase a Bryston BDA-3.14 Streamer/DAC.  Hadn't been there in years.  Had a very pleasant conversation which included some haggling.  We agreed on the price and he ordered it right then and there.  I said thanks we shook hands and I asked how much he wanted me to put down on the piece.  He said "You're gonna come back and get it...right?" I said of course.  That was good enough for him. Pretty amazing considering its a $4K piece.
