Best audio companies and dealers
I've thought about doing this over the years, but never seemed to get around to it. But I'd like to list the audio dealers and companies I've dealt with over the years that have offered consistently good products and customer service way beyond the average.
Two companies come immediately to mind: Cary Audio in NC and Reference 3A in Canada. Cary offers superb equipment, like the SLP05 pre-amp. And they have delivered excellent customer service throughout the years, and it's always been a pleasure to deal with them. The same goes for Reference 3A speakers. I owned the MM Decappos- great speakers, esp. for midrange, and you cant find a more attentive, professional person than Tash to deal with.

@oddiofyl Maybe he can nominate himself, he seems to do it often. As far as companies go, Legacy Audio should be on this list. I have had many dealings with them. In all of my experiences with them over the years, they have been prompt, polite, and someone always answers the phone there. They produce a fine product to boot. |
Currently I live in Vietnam, there are many world famous companies and sound brands such as JBL, BMB, Bose, Audofine ... However, the quality of products here is not as expected. my want. There is only this company http://amthanhsankhaupro.com/dan-am-thanh-hoi-truong.html providing quality audio equipment. Do you know where to sell a reputable large-capacity karaoke speaker? introduce me |
Basis Audio. Responsive and superb customer service for my Debut Vacuum and Vector. Another shout out for Mick at Quintessence Audio in Morton Grove. A very special dealer that goes of their way to ensure customer satisfaction. I swear he has the magic and could set up 2 paper cups with a string between them and have you drooling. I am retired now so I can only look these days :-( Music Direct. I go into their place and they always spend however much time I need on accessories and music. Bob Clarke of Profundo. Went out of his way to find me an Orpheus many years back (after they were discontinued). i also second Uncle Kevin from Upscale Audio. Glenn Poor in Champaign, Illinois. I went in there for several hours after driving my niece to U of I. I didn’t buy anything at that time but he treated me as a valued customer. His setups sounded excellent. |
I agree about Basis (I have a Debut vacuum table too, with an Orpheus L cartridge on it right now)--great table and good service. I had a power supply/speed controller go bad very shortly after purchase. It was replaced almost immediately with minimal trouble on my part. I know Bob Clarke and he is a good guy. I bought the Orpheus L from him and a Viva fono phonostage. George Lenz at TubesUSA is also fantastic. He gives straight answers, including recommendations not to buy one of his tubes because it is not ideal for a particular use, and he communicates after the sale to make sure everything is working out. |

I'll second the nomination for local retailer with Audio Video Therapy of Nashua NH. They're a little further from me than four other well-known-to-the-area retailers and just a couple miles from another who is known to be a brand importer in addition to retailer. Still, Audio Video Therapy gets most of my business because of the way they earn it. For manufacturers, I haven't found many of the same calibre as KEF USA. I've not had any failures of the product, but for a missing (purely cosmetic) part on a pair of demo R500's and missing port plugs on a used pair LS50's I got from AV Therapy, they went out of their way to make sure I was happy. I have the T-shirts, pens, keychains, and other KEF-labeled swag to prove it. |

Artesania Audio racks and accessories are truly the top choice for high end equipment manufacturers, distributors, dealers to use not just for audio fairs but also in their own showrooms. Hear/See it for yourself. Organ Yamaha |
I thought I was a pretty good dealer. Took my gear to the RMAF for years.. a few people liked it.. “Though I've heard the Wilson-Benesch Curve floorstanders many times before, I found that they sounded spectacularly good as driven by Kara Chaffee's amazing deHavilland tube electronics . Nothing I heard at RMAF, save perhaps for the far more expensive Vandersteen/ARC system, could touch this rig for sheer midrange purity, detail, three-dimensionality ." Chris Martens TAS on the 2009 show. “I've always wanted to audition deHavilland Electric Amplifier Company's products. I was fortunate enough to do so at the show, with the very cordial assistance of Kara Chaffee, deHavilland's designer/owner. I went back to this room about half a dozen times. Kara probably thought that I was stalking her. Truth be told, I couldn't get enough of the sound of her Mercury III remote line stage and Model 50A, 40 watt Triode monoblocks driving a stunning pair of Wilson Benesch Curves. Their were far, far more expensive rooms at the show, off the chart expensive compared to deHavilland's very reasonably prices, yet none of them produced sound so sweet. Kara was available throughout to answer my dumb questions, and spin every special request. I wish that my picture would have captured the subtle beauty of this system. It doesn't get any better than this.” Ed Becker from hometheaterhifi.com. “Kara Chaffee of deHavilland Electric Amplifier Company demonstrated her relatively new KE 50A Signature monoblock amplifiers ($10,800 per pair) with her Mercury preamp, ($4,495) the $12,140/pr Wilson Benesch Curve 2.5-way floorstanders and Kubal-Sosna Research cables. Musicality reigned supreme here with the speakers completely disappearing in an expansive soundstage.” Steve March from 6moons.com. Best Sound: “Honorable mentions include systems from: Wilson-Benesch/deHavilland.” Chris Martens from TAS The Best Room At The Show deHavilland/Kubala-Sosna/Esoteric/Sounds Real room. "Oddly enough, I believe last year, this room was my runner up. The sound was largely how I remember, but even better. I have my reasons for voting this room "the best" and here they are. It played music for me. Its presentation was very big and wide and spacious, yet intimate. It was as if the music was being played just for me. The timing and pace were right on as was the instrument and vocal definition. No, I don't think this system could fool you into believing that an entire orchestra was right in front of you, but then I didn't hear a single system at the show that could. The front-to-back and side-to-side special cues were intoxicating. At the core of the system are the deHavilland KE-50A monoblocks, which were driving Wilson Benesch Curves. The CD player was an Esoteric X-03SE and the preamp was a deHavilland Mercury III with all cables by Kubala-Sosna (which is new to me). The sound was so damn good I told Kara that if they had a turntable there, it might just push me over the edge. Seriously, as amazing as this system sounded, I wonder what level a solid analog front end would take it to. Here's the icing on the cake for the whole deal - the entire system's cost: $50k. $50k! A lot of dough? Yes. Yet for "Best of Show" at an audiophile event - 50 grand is nothing. Kudos to Kara Chaffee and company for setting up an amazing system with amazing components. The system just shined." Thad Aerts from The Hi-Fi reader I like the deHavilland amps more every time I hear them. The smaller room seemed suited more to the Wilson Benesch Curves with the amps; last year this combo seemed lost in the room. Not this time; it was intimate and powerful. The 50A Signature Mono Amps and Mercury III Remote Line Preamp sang an enchanting song together. Previously I had felt the need for the Curves to be powered by bigger amps, but the deHavillands are challenging that conclusion. They startled me with their fortitude, as well as their golden toned dialect spoken through the Curves. This was a room that I found myself returning to more than once when my ears were tired of all the noise. This is certainly not a cheap system, but it sounded better than some systems that cost three times as much. Most importantly, it was a system that allowed you to really enjoy music. The deHavilland room had almost the same system as last year, but in a different room. The big difference is that, this year the sound was perfectly beautiful. An Esoteric X-03SE CD player into the a deHavilland Mercury III Linestage was providing the signal to a pair of the deHavilland 50A Signature mono amps which was powering a pair of Wilson Benesch’s Curves, all the cables were by Kubala-Sosna. "deHavilland Electonics with Wilson Bensch speakers, the room we revisited most. Sound to die for." John Zurek from positive-feedback.com I heard the 50A's at RMAF and it was awesome. Highlight of the show. Consumer . |
