Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store

.
I am currently pretty satisfied with my system the way it is right now. I am not in the market for any new purchases right now, mainly because I don't have the discretionary income to make big changes. However, sometimes I get the urge to want to go into a hifi store just to look. Eventually I will upgrade my speakers, cd player, preamp, a new dac for sure and may give class D amps a shot...but not right now.

Is it cool to go into a store just to look around, knowing you don't have the money or immediate need for an item?

Adam,
Read my comment about lack of sense of humor which was placed next...
Read the post you've just bashed again and answer following:
Can you also define vulgar and where do ya see I express bad taste???

You're perpetuating a Stereotype, and generally communicating that you are boorish at best, and generally a complete idiot.

But please, don't let us stop you from being yourself.

Also, the notion that something doesn't offend you, the speaker, is not an appropriate benchmark on the relative appropriateness of a statement.

Donald Sterling's comments about African Americans certainly didn't bother Donald Sterling; they just offended everyone else.

Czarivy .. Any statements that imply anti-Semitism or any other anti-ethnic bias are completely inappropriate. If your ignorance with this is preventing you from realizing that your remark "be Jewish and bargain" is indeed vulgar and in bad taste, then you obviously have some deep issues of prejudicial thought processes that are inexcusable. For the sake of all of us who are offended by your remark, please refrain from digging a deeper hole for yourself. It's a downward spiral, and I suggest you stop it right now !

i agree 100% with almarg (always a good policy around here) and phd--b&h and guitar center are vg examples of how to maintain a competitive b&m retail presence in this day and age. even best buy, ferchrissakes, got their head out of their buttcheeks and started aggressively price-matching, improving their retail displays and providing (marginally) better customer service; against all odds they're looking like a survivor. the idea that a customer should pay a superpremium for gear sold at the neighborhood b&m just because the salesperson was nice and the gear was there for audition is, unfortunately, an antiquated notion. only a tiny segment of buyers will pay a lot more just for good service at a , esp. since a lot of online vendors are also very customer-oriented.

Just to be clear I'm trying to bring some responsibility to the ones for wrong accusations of things that actually did not happen in my posts neither none.

I also asked SIMPLE question why how and where you find my statement vulgar instead of humor and where I'm expressing bad taste literally and clearly, but instead
get some giberish, hate and worded abomination...

I guess I just can't help to fix your major IQ defects unless I'm close and ready to deliver some pain(may fix the issue if not too late).
