I have to be honest. The sales person was VERY nice and didn't treat me like anything but a serious buyer. Even thou I did make it clear I couldn't afford anything in the shop.
He offered to "fire up" anything in the shop but I politely said "thank you but that would just be a waste of electricity".
It was kind of pointless to even listen. Although I may go back to check out a streamer player.

Alrighty then.
My experience is many of these guys welcome guys with ears as many of the customers seem to lack them.
Be honest with them and see if you agree on things.
I have had some great experiences with staff at high-end shops. A lot of them appreciate honest feedback. And if you are listening, they get to listen too.
I even had one guy refuse to sell me a lower end (really mid-fi) amp when I was a broke kid just out of college. "Save your money, buy used". And he gave me a list of competitors with decent selections of used gear.
And then there have been complete and total a-holes. Even when I had ready cash.
I heard the MBL's at Axpona; really, really good. Even at a show. I would take the opportunity to listen.
I cannot comprehend that decision though I can respect it.
