Salon One Audio

I blame Bruce for all my troubles. I just went to purchase a set of Snell speakers. After listening to the Cs for many hours alone, with all kinds of gear I was hooked. Many years of addiction to upgrading and looking for the perfect sound and he had to close his store. I was at Salon One when the bankers were closing up the place. I looked through the glass like a little boy wishing he could have all the candy in the store.

Jab, that's pretty sad, and not a little disappointing. I wondered what happened to Salon One.

From the conversations I had with Bruce..... I think the major thing that did him in was the loaner policy he had. I can recall him telling me some people would keep the stuff for months, if not well past a year. And I remember one particular case where I guy in Chicago had $$$$$$ worth of stuff and then filed bankrutpcy and got to keep everything.

I guess sometimes a few bad eggs will spoil all the fun for everyone else. But I sure wish another dealer with the rest of the Salon One personailty would come along. I would travel many miles to be there when they opened!!!

About a month ago, I was talking to Shawn at DaVinci Media and asked if he had ever heard of Bruce. He said he thought that he was at one time the national rep. for Shunyata. I called Shunyata and sure enough he had. They gave me his number and now we are back talking about upgrading my system. He owns Audio Design Marketing. www.audiodesignmarketing.com.

The man is a credit to the industry. He has one of greatest ears out there. He has helped many audio manufactures and has been involved in many patents. I think he has the best knowledge of most components out there and a ability to understand each customers needs and help build a system that is satisfying to their taste.

I got to know him back in the early 90's. Although we never met in person, he has helped put together a couple of my systems. And yes, I paid him for all of it. Give him a call. I'm sure he'll remember you.

Actually I am in contact with Bruce now.
