Goodwins High End - Waltham MA

Spearit Sound - Boston MA

Audio Concepts - Attleboro MA

Not a fan of ID but I did buy direct from Channel Islands Audio. Their VDA 2 DAC is a great value. Most purchases are local although I bought my speakers from Upscale Audio in CA and they were great to deal with.
Primus Audio Pleasures-Kansas City, MO

Al Eckilson and his team are very knowledgeable and pleasant to work with.
Overture in Delaware. Terry Minaker is very helpful and easy to deal with.

Sound by Singer in New York - great selection, and I've always felt welcome there, and always had good experiences with Andy and the rest of the staff

Audible Elegance, cincinnati, Love to talk audio with one of the guys there

Honorable mention - progressive audio, columbus, oh, before they went full blown home theater - great product line up, welcome to listen to anything, great staff too.
Brooks Berdan, Ltd. - Monrovia, CA
Can't say enough about Brooks and Brian. Have changed my whole appreciation for music! Knowledge, experience and down to earth. What every shop should strive to be!

Upscale Audio - Upland, CA
Great service and product! Not bad espresso either! Kevin is a great guy!

Audio Unlimited - Denver, CO
John Barnes..... what a great host! Was on a trip to Denver and wanted to pick up some power cables. John took the time to sit and chat about all things audio. Great showroom and gear! Will make this a destination stop next time I'm in Denver!
