What happened to all the highend stereo shops
What happened to high end stereo shops I mean real high-end stereo shops. I am 78, my father bought me my first stereo when I was 12, I have been hooked ever since. I remember the days when you can go to a nice audio store and not just audition what they had in the store but if you saw a couple of tuners, preamps or some cables that you liked, you could give them a blank check and take the equipment home to audition on your system. Bring one or both back Pay for what you want to keep or get your check back. I don’t understand how someone can buy an expensive piece of audio equipment and not audition it in their system first. Many places today, you buy it and your stuck with it. OH yes you can sell it on Audiogon or eBay. Reviewers are nice and give good reviews but the problem I have is the equipment they are auditioning is on their system in their treated music room which is going to be different than what you have.

I believe the offensive (and subsequently removed) post was penned by @crlambert and NOT by @grislybutter

To your original post, I believe alot of audio folks miss the almost clubhouse kindof feel so many great audio stores once evoked. The kind where you could hang out and not feel pressure to buy.
I do think people need to recognize that people consume and purchase music and audio gear differently today. I see the random posting, predicting the impending doom of high end audio. 2021 was the best year in the history of high end audio, eclipsed only by 2022. There are more high end companies today making better gear than ever before. Innovation is happening at warp speed which is why it may be hard to observe by those merely watching their own particular brick and mortar dealer. Businesses come and businesses go, nothing remains the same....thank goodness. |
It would seem that the moderators and administration on this forum, have taken it upon themselves to censor our comments? No one has the authority or the power to infringe upon someone else's Freedom of Speech ! That is a direct infringement upon my 1st Amendment Rights ! You can delete all of my statements that you want, but that doesn't erase the evidence ! Once something is on the Internet, it's there forever and can be pulled up at a later date ! I didn't get foul. I didn't lie. I merely stated the TRUTH and the facts are out there to back them up ! I merely defended God and my religion. I was defending what is moral, what is just, and what is proper ! Apparently the moderators of the forum, don't agree with what is just and moral? Apparently they have no problem defending things that are immoral and rebellious to God and Christianity. That's a shame, because there is so much information to be gleaned here. It would appear, that I have actually learned a lot more than I was looking for...

1) Its a private audio forum. 2) The first ammendment only protects you from governmental censorship. A private enterprise, person or entity may tune you out and censor your words at will. 3) Just because someone doesn’t give a hoot what you think about religion on an audio forum doesn’t make them any less spiritual than you think you are. 4) You are coming off as a zealot. No one wants to listen to a zealot. 5) Stop whining. Discuss audio, share your audio thoughts or your thoughts about the topic of this thread. That would be cool. 6) I believe in God, I believe she is all knowing, she enjoys tube gear, she hates solid state gear and she also believes that cables make a significant contribution to sound quality…not that anyone on an audio forum should be subjected to my beliefs…or your beliefs. |
