Underwood Hifi / Underwood Wally...


I sometimes receive e-mail blasts from this seller/retailer.  This online retailer seem to handle many brands of various audio components, some with some name recognition, some with none.  All products are advertised with screaming discounts and cable giveaways (is this a red flag?). 

Some of the brands like GAS and LSA, seem to go back quite some years.  I am trying to understand how this business works and whether it is reputable for selling solid gear.  Or is this like some retailers that buy up old defunct trademarks then sources gear from cheap contract suppliers that make stuff at low cost, cutting corners with quality?

Would appreciate any insight or customer experiences.  There are a number of items that could be of interest to me as I upgrade my two channel system but I can't help but be somewhat wary.

I’ve been here 20 yrs and I don’t remember when he wasn’t here selling. He has a great reputation. I bought a Core Power 1800 from him so far. No need to hesitate. I won’t
Totally reputable company. Walter is an authorised dealer for many products. Even though some of his blowout sales resemble "Crazy Eddie," Underwood Wally is a standup guy.
He often buys closeout products and offers them at low prices, the only negative is there are no refunds on these items, but there’s always a warranty. I purchased a pair of Gallo speakers and even though they were discontinued, I received warranty service from the factory.
Very recently I bought the Core Power DeepCore 1800 on sale. Walter purchased and expanded the company with new products and a new design of the flagship power conditioner. I believe he’s an oldschool salesman and the customer always comes first.


He explains how his prices are set on his web site. I bought a headphone and some cables from him recently. I am now looking at his site when I look for new gear.
I've bought a few things from Walter over the years, he is someone you can trust ; whether or not he has the lines you are interested in is no different than any other dealer
