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.

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.
