Andrew Singer Of "Sound by Singer" passed away yesterday

@czarivey

That was my experience. I disliked him immensely. I did go in the shop for FOMO, and I did once buy something, my VPI HW / Sumiko MMT / Koetsu Black combo there, in 1985. But he was not helpful: I knew to know what I wanted before I went in, I went straight to the item(s) and with no discussion I pointed, said “I’ll take it!”, I was in and out within 30 minutes

I shopped mostly at Stereo Exchange, run by Dave Wasserman, a genuinely friendly, nice and always helpful guy. I got my Futterman OTL3s, my Beard P505 there.

nevertheless, R.I.P. Andy.

And your inference is?

I stand by my comments.

Stereo Exchange was a much more welcoming place. Steve Wasserman is genuinely warm and friendly, and he has an amazing memory: he would greet you by name every time you walked in, and he knew the status and composition of my audio system at any given time and was always prepared with an appropriate suggestion for the next improvement to make to it that was suited to my budget.

@frogman
I went in there at least twice a year for well over 15 years. I never felt welcomed. Not once.

Not the case at the other two shops I frequented, especially Stereo Exchange which was just the opposite.
