How would you run an audio salon?

First, I would get a lobotomy

Reminds of Richard Branson's reply when asked how to become a millionaire he quipped "Start with a billion dollars and buy an airline"!

As you can see, one is not able to get much practical or personaly meaningful information from Audiogon on a consistent basis. Everyone is biased, everyone plays favorites and no one has it all figured out. That's why I would truly place the customer first using my audiophile consultant model....the customers needs and want's would drive the purchase. Value and performance within a given budget would be the goal. Great sound can come in many sizes and shapes....overspending on highly regarded components assures one of zilch!! Environment and set up mean the most...even a boom box can sound great in the right space. When you are committed to sell a certain product, you will...at the expense of the customer.

Hey Jazdoc...could also assemble a castle's worth of assets, make your way into musicianship; especially jazz...ultimately qualify for medicaid.

So, uh, did the dog die, or did you get an invite to divorce court today?

That's a mighty critical statement.
