I admit that I have been lucky to find a good dealer and have seen the type of sevice that you talk about many times in other stores. I am curious that if you dont use dealers how do you pick equipment? I am not critisizing at all and think that maybe you know something I dont.
I feel the only way to pick a piece of equipment is hear it in your system. I go to a lot of stores hearing what I want then I try the top couple in my own home. Do you listen to dealers then buy on the net? Do you just buy based on other peoples opinions with out hearing it? If so dont you loose money in the long run by having to sell pieces that you dont like? Or end up with pieces that are inferior to others in the same price range?
I reiterate I am very curious and not attacking anyones methods. If you dont use dealers how do you pick the best piece for your system?
