Walked into the Audio Connection to purchase a Bryston BDA-3.14 Streamer/DAC. Hadn't been there in years. Had a very pleasant conversation which included some haggling. We agreed on the price and he ordered it right then and there. I said thanks we shook hands and I asked how much he wanted me to put down on the piece. He said "You're gonna come back and get it...right?" I said of course. That was good enough for him. Pretty amazing considering its a $4K piece.
Audio Connection/Johnny Rutan
Hello all, I just wanted to say a few words about my experience with Mr. Rutan over the weekend. I have read numerous threads on how helpful he is and what a nice guy he is. I want to take this opportunity to confirm everything is TRUE to the highest order. I spent most of Saturday afternoon on the phone with Mr. Rutan with him helping me trouble shoot a problem with an Aesthetix pre-amp I purchased used from an individual, he had no stake in the deal. He very patiently walked me many scenarios to find the problem, which he did. I would have never figured it out on my own and am deeply grateful for his help and guidance. He is without a doubt one of the best in the biz. Sincerely Allen Sill Wichita, Kansas.
