Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts

@fiesta75 Wow. A high-end shop in Honolulu. The best...er only...high-end shop I've come across on the Big Island is the Hilo Office Max. Hey, they actually do have interconnects and ethernet cable...though the cheap stuff. Yeah, my nearest high-end retailer is cyberspace. I can shop there guilt free.

@ elliotbnewcombjr, you did mention, +10. 

Yes and you just move on.

Yes. I think everyone eventually runs into some arrogant jerk. Although as my career moved on, it happened less and less. Audio folks can typically figure out what you can afford. Some of them are only in it to make money, they are not there because they love the music and high hi. So they will make a call and write you off, right or wrong. Although if they are disingenuous, I'll write them off and not buy there. 
 

There's a guy in Chicagoland. Quintessence audio. 

He was very accommodating demoing equipment for me. I didn't buy and felt no pressure. If I find something I really want, I won't hesitate to buy from him. Highly recommended!
