Sounds like a poor salesperson. There are good and poor salespeople in every sales setting. Having sold and supervised sales people for years, I do my research online before contacting a business. I ask questions and listen to their answers. There is usually some BS but if I hear too much and/or don’t enjoy interacting with the person I move on. The only people that have to like your system are you and your wife. The worst is when you get an arrogant salesperson that tries to overwhelm you with their knowledge and make you feel like you don’t know anything. If I have time I’ll play the game and then walk away. If not I just walk away. Enjoy your musical journey and don’t let the turkeys get you down.
Enough is Enough
I've been looking at changing my DAC. I was considering Lampizator, Playback Designs, and Ideon. Recently a dealer basically told me(with the exception of my subwoofer and music server) my system sucks. He went on to say, I should sell my amps, preamp, DAC, speakers, and start all over! I've owned several different speakers, amplifiers, and DACs. I've attended shows and several different dealers show rooms. In fact, I directly compared one of the amplifiers the dealer recommended to a Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and preferred the 625 S2. I didn't build my system in a vacuum. I determined what I wanted to spend, listened and purchase what I preferred. I've been in sales and submit it would have been better to recommend a DAC that would improve my system. So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some dealer will tell me it's crap and I have to start over.
