we should go back to the 20th. century and start doing things the right way again. Internet commerce is good for cables and used equipment. Stop buying new equipment on-line, no matter the price, just stop it. I believe in the equality of dealer/customer relations regardless of how expensive or not the item is. By the way, TMR appears to want to monopolize the Audiogon market. I don’t need them and won’t buy anything from them. Kind of Amazon for audiophiles.
@inna Yeah that toothpaste ain’t going back in the tube on Earth One. Online retailers have to figure out how to compete with brick & mortar stores and vice versa, and then there are some who do both. There are costs and benefits to both businesses, but both have to continue to evolve in a 21st century business environment or they’ll suffer just like the dealer here did. Equality of dealer/customer relations??? I don’t even know what that means. 🤪 And TMR has built a solid and reputable business by working hard and providing a quality service many people here think very highly of (including the OP), and they’re not monopolizing anything — that’s just ridiculous hyperbole. They’ll do just fine without you buying anything from them because by all accounts they do a solid job and provide a valuable service (just as they did here BTW). Do you not buy anything from Amazon either? 🙄
