It was the spring of '76.
I had accepted the job at ARC. I was driving across the country from Norfolk, VA.
They asked me to drop in on some of their dealers on the way - essentially unannounced and them with no idea who I was.
With one exception, it was my first experience hearing the sound other dealers made (other than our demos in Norfolk). In previous years, I had visited The Stereo Set in Washington, DC. They always had great demos, Infinity SS-1s, KLH-9s, Quad 57s, T-1s, IMF Monitors, ARC electronics, etc.
My biggest and most surprising issue was that most of the shops that I visited on that trip had nice facilities, nice lines, but their sound was disappointing. In those days, everybody advertised in the back of Audio, so they were all well-known. Guess I expected more from the "famous" (at the time) shops.
Sadly, with a few exceptions, some things haven't changed...
Best regards,
Jim Smith
