And certainly improved that much more with your contribution (Thanks. As well everyone else who contributed). Nothing to add really, I do like the thread, seems everyone was civil (didn't read every post). And do like the web in general, and Rod in particular for giving us the Asylum (and interesting discussions like these).Most of my dealer experiences have been positive. Most knew/know what the heck they were/are doing. And some dealers a decided cut above. A couple of my experiences before going D.I.Y., eight or nine years ago, did run the gamut though (I think it's been around the same amount of time since I've even set foot in a dealer's). One, the air conditioning cycled on and off repeatedly during the session (when it did, the distraction was surprisingly quite large). And one of the staff popped in repeatedly to say I "couldn't monopolize the room" and they "needed it." I think I 'listened' to five tracks, and of course gained no insight/inspiration about the product.
Another (a little strangely) ..... would turn the volume back up, everytime I turned the volume down. Even though I clearly mentioned I didn't listen that loud. And ..... during most of the session engaged in small talk/chit chat.
At yet another, I stood around for fifteen minutes after first walking in. Without any acknowledgment, from a beehive/bevy of employees at main/central desk. Twiddling my thumbs, doing the eye contact thing only to be completely ignored/looked through/away. I knew hello was a common courtesy, and was lacking there, so I left.
P.S.Disclosure: Have never bought or shopped at Kevin's, but did attend a couple of SoCal HiFi Swap Meets back in the day (I believe Kevin's effort/hard work). And quite thoroughly enjoyed them.
