Re: You said you rarely visit any dealer because of snobbishnes NOT just one or a few due to a bad experience!

Didn't I say Goodwins in Waltham is an excellent dealer as are several dealers in Southern Cal?
But you rarely visit them because of snobbishness! At least you said so originally.

I have bought more than half of my components through b/m dealers.
But not anymore! So you said!

Your continued insistence that I have problems with ALL b/m dealers demonstrates your stupidy in not understanding my posts.
So what you said is clearly not what you meant. Now that you've cleared up what was most obviously the point (intentional or not) of your originally selected words.

There are components that are made in other countryies or by a single or few persons that can not be acquired through a b/m dealer, and thus require mail order. Why can't you get this simple concept?
Oh I quess I didn't realize most of the component you've purchased have been made in other countries that are not available at the b/m? Maybe if you had listed an equipment profile this would have been more clear. You've failed to make this point previously nor have you mentioned the names of such gear that you are currently mostly buying.

You basically insult most on this forum by stating those who order by mail are cheap, as there are more hi end sales through the internet than through all b/m dealers combined.
Yes I believe they are. Not all of them but most of them. If my beliefs insult most audiophiles why do I care? And even beyond that why would you care?

Unfortunately and fortunately in some cases, b/m dealers are a dying breed.
I think it's clearly unfortunate.

You can go ahead and buy all the Stereophile rated components at full retail price if you want.
LOL! I doubt I've got any recommended components in my system - if I do let me know. On the other hand I'm betting that far more recommended components are sold used and through discount outlets than through authorized dealers. I'm sure many/most Stereophile readers are confident enough in their purchases not to worry about what it sounds like - being on the recommendated components list makes it good enough for them.

You can go on buying your Stereophile recommended components at deep discount through internet sources. Which is clearly what YOU'VE been advocating not me.

We can care less. But being snobby and stupid is no way to go through life.
Sure you can care less but you don't. I think that comment displays more than just a vaque ingnorance of your own brand of dishonesty. That's why you are continuing to make a fool out of yourself by name calling and trying to weasel out of your original remarks.


Give me rhythm or give me death!
