Salon One Audio

I auditioned and/or bought a number of things from Salon One. It was a bit of a hike from where I live, but there was nothing even close to the quality of Salon One where I live, which is not to say there were no shops in my town!!!

If Bruce couldn't make it, it makes a person wonder if anyone can make it.

He was at Soundworld for a number of years. SInce he left it seems like the 'better' gear really isn't available anymore.

Driving to Wisconsin Rapids to visit Salon One on a fall Saturday afternoon listening to the Texaco opera on the radio. I remember Bruce from when he started selling gear out of his house and then his stores. Honest advice, wonderful home audition policy, great product selection - I miss him too.

Ok so maybe if we beg Bruce pretty please! He will open another store :)

Not only was there wonderful knowledgeable advice at Salon One and a ton of different gear, from many different manufactures. ( in fact it was like walking into a physical audio magazine ) The atmosphere was casual and friendly. I coming from the technical field was right in my element playing with the gear there. I spent some long hours there and was usually left by myself eventually to listen and swap out equipment. Of course there was the occasional " how are you doing " question. I enjoyed this aspect thoroughly!

Jab, that's pretty sad, and not a little disappointing. I wondered what happened to Salon One.
