Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people.

+1 for Dan Wright, Jeff Joseph 

Alberto Guerra - AGD

Taylor Everhart - Gold Print Audio

Scott Bierfeldt - Verdant Audio

Brian Zolner - Bricasti

Peter Noerbeck of PBN.  Great guy

Aric @ Aric Audio - A real gentleman who is always eager to help. I’ve owned two of his amps and bought both on the used market. He was responsive to my queries even though I didn’t spend my $$ with him.

Arek @ Hattor Audio - I bought one of his preamps from Poland. Very responsive and quick to respond to questions. Made the long distance deal very smooth and easy. Great products at great prices.

Kevin Carter @ K&K Audio. Met him in person 20 years ago after he built me a phono preamp. Awesome dude who loves what he does. Foolishly sold the pre, but will own one again someday.

Rob Fritz, owner Audio Art Cables

@stuartk +1

Rob Fritz seems genuinely nice. I’d probably purchase more of his cables - even if they didn’t sound nice (they sound great btw), simply out of principle of him seeming to be a solid guy.
