Best audio companies and dealers

I've thought about doing this over the years, but never seemed to get around to it. But I'd like to list the audio dealers and companies I've dealt with over the years that have offered consistently good products and customer service way beyond the average. 

Two companies come immediately to mind: Cary Audio in NC and Reference 3A in Canada. Cary offers superb equipment, like the SLP05 pre-amp. And they have delivered excellent customer service throughout the years, and it's always been a pleasure to deal with them. The same goes for Reference 3A speakers. I owned the MM Decappos- great speakers, esp. for midrange, and you cant find a more attentive, professional person than Tash to deal with.

As far as companies, you must include Rogue Audio in Brodheadsville, PA. There is always a human available to answer a call and your question. Bill is upfront, honest and reliable. Always happy to support a US company as well.

And for dealers, happy to include Goldprint Audio in Lexington, NC. Taylor is knowledgeable about his products, always returns calls, and provides honest, reputable transactions.

On the top of my list of manufacturers is PSAudio. I personally dont think anyone else compares.
As a dealership, although I have not purchased from them in the near past, Sound Components, in Coral Gables, FL.

I've owned the Cary SLP05, their superb mono blocks, the 211s as well as their SACD player. Never a problem with anything over the past decade, except for a socket/short problem which was my fault.  Great customer service. Friendly and prompt. Excellent value to cost.

Ellington HiFi in Loxley, AL. Tony Barnette was a pleasure to deal with during my recent Lyngdorf purchase. 

The Music Room in Broomfield, CO has always been very fair when I’ve sold them used equipment and purchased equipment from them. 

Goodwins in Waltham, MA was the source of my first high-end system and still represents many of the finest manufacturers.
