Visiting audio stores?

This is probably the last concern on many people's minds, so I'm raising this just in case anyone feels like relaying their experience.

I've become pretty cautious about where I go and why. So, for me, I'm not going to any audio stores to listen to gear, out of caution about the virus. I do feel concern for these stores and how it will impact them. Are folks going? Anyone running an audio store who wants to comment? How are you coping? Are you changing any policies or running any more sales online? Changes in trial periods to help more people try out gear remotely?

Again, this is a minor concern given the larger dimensions of this virus situation, but I thought I'd reach out with a question.

Far be it from me to defend the indefensible. Why would I? I wouldn’t. But moving right along....

"...most COVAD-19 deaths are related to pneumonia infections"
"Most" means "some are not". Not much you can do about it, but hearts seem to be affected quite a bit, too.

I have not been a poster here long on gon but one of my favorite threads and not to long ago was the ’MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?’ thread. Grannyring (Bill) was fortunate enough to set up a ’shoot out’ of the MHDT Orchid and the Lampizator Amber 3, with the added bonus to audition the Golden Atlantic TRP also, with Collin of Gestalt Audio.

No online internet bullying or snipping by middle aged men hiding behind a moniker on that thread.

Just plane ol down to earth and groovy sharing of ideas and experiences with like minded individuals regardless of your audiophile pedigree. That thread was chock full of positive posts.

And to think I did not stop by HiFi Buys and check out the new Vandersteens when they came in some months ago as I told them I would.

HiFi Buys in Buckhead, GA which is just outside Atlanta, GA - is open and seeing walk in customers - if anybody wants to know.

I also learned something from that thread too. What I learned is I prefered the MHDT Orchid because I liked the price point/performance ratio and I already have (2) NOS Platinum Grade Cryoed TELEFUNKEN E88CC / 6922’s that are an exact compliment needed for the MHDT Orchid.

If anybody from HiFi Buys or someone that has something positive to say about that store/shop or any other, please chime in.

Gpgr4blu-get your facts right. Trump halted travel to China months ago and the left crucified him. Then he stopped travel to Europe and got crucified from the left. A leftist like Biden or Bernie would have never stopped travel nor closed the borders like Italy didn’t do and we would have been 100 times worse.
Trump can only do so much, he can’t snap his fingers and have a vaccine nor can he provide 100,000’s of test kits. WHO and China have much to blame more so than Trump
