That is correct, Chester Group organized. I wonder why hi-fi manufacturers don't do road shows or pop-up stores in areas where there are few dealers.
Introducing people beyond the usual assortment of folks who frequent the conventional dealerships, which are fewer and far between.
There even used to be 'live v. recorded' demonstrations -
I think hi-end hi fi seems to be enjoying a renaissance despite the ubiquitous MP3 and other diversions (like this one, on the Internet).
I'm constantly amazed at the proliferation of new turntables, phono stages (think back ten years compared to now- that market has literally exploded) and costly amps and speaker systems. And, the amazing variety of approaches, just when you think that it's all been done before, someone comes up with a new way to approach a nagging problem or revisits an old circuit or design and revitalizes it (Garrard 301, anybody?).
Best,
Bill Hart
