Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience.

How about this guys ... I bought a pair of monoblocks....not only was it a little modded (probably a demo)...it was an old version to boot. Found out about the sh*t after the warranty had run out and I had to send it to a 3rd party tech for servcing. Cool huh? Anyone can beat this? 

@lowrider57  my cd2s was a demo piece. I bought it from USA tube audio themselves.  You should be ok.  My sale ran smoothly and the guy was nice at first.   Then the problem came with the remote. Then I felt like he could  have suggested something with a warmer signature but he flat out did not care because he got a 4000 plus sale and didn't care about getting me taken care of.  It is one of the things where I learned that some folks don't care in high end.  Would be careful from this point on. 

Thanks! for sharing- calvinj.

Now lets talk about the GREAT stories.

I want to visit NYC this year and would like to take in its Audio shops.
Any suggestions?  Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
