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?

Avgoround,
The content of your post indicates to me that you have not read the last contribution that I made to this thread on 7/16. If you did read that post, I think that you may have a comprehension problem. It seems certain that you have a problem with writing and spelling.
Yes, it is true ...I'm a rich former college drop out(once sports were done, there was no point..) who barely passed English 101.
I'm in therapy now ..which consists of me actively flying all over the world (I'm actually posting this from a hotel room! Lol!!) , walking into hifi shops, spunging up free info from unsuspecting starving AV salespeople!!!
He'll, are there even any electronics sales people still actively employed , besides those working at Best Buy?!!! Lol..that's funny
Yes Avgoround you missed the post from roxy where he tried to back track and basicly admitted that he has a low tolerance for people who enter his store due to personality and emotional disorders and wants us to feel sorry for him because he has the typical pretensious salesman mentality where he will only pretend to be interested in you if he feels he can hustle a buck off of you.

In have news for you bud its called working for a living. I am a chef in busy high end restaurant. You want to know about stress, pressure and 90 hr work weeks? Come try and keep pace with me for a week and you will be happy to go back to your job in the store with your douchey pals. Boohoo move and amp here or a pair of speakers there....ooh change a few cartridges....your break in our hearts. I curious to know if you work in that shop because your passionate about audio or do you hop from sales job to sales job? You don't come off like you love your job you sound like a hack who treats it like a business. There in lies the problem with the shops. Long gone are the ee abliwhments with genuine enthusiasts who are happy to have any and everybody come in the door. Echo in portland is a great example of a real shop. The only one I buy from and I'm 2500 miles away. Roxy go work retail at the dollar store no tire kickers in there.
Chrshanl37, I'm not that dumb!
..90hrS a week, slaving over a hot kitchen , making UNITS OF ADDITION every two weeks fer a paysteak( I'm 1000% certain this is ur retirement plan..that kitchen), instead of putting in place a well thought out and executed plan to get PAST having to blow on some OTHER restaurant owners dirty dice every day,..begging each week for him to not fire you all the time??!!! Thx, but no thanks!!. I'm only glad verve if you actually LOVED that job of yours..Otherwise, WTH???
btw, I gained a knowledge and had some fun outta college, choosing AV as a job pathetic then...now I use all those connections and acquired info to sell for myself, have all the time in the world to work my investments I learned how to manage, sell the same stuff on eBay for a stream of income, and FLY TO VEGAS ONCE A MONTH TO PLAY!!!
Work??..what's that??..
