+1 for Ray Kimber
Odyssey and Klaus Bunge define personalized service with great products that WAY outperform their prices |
Kimber Kable those guys are awsome |
C-J , Quicksilver, Grado , Magnum Dynalab ... all great companies to deal with in my experience. For dealers, the guys at Audio Visual Therapy are awesome to deal with. |
Another vote for Audio Connection in Verona NJ
A vote as well for Audio Research which has resolved the only issue I've ever had (with 1 out of the 6 items I've purchased over the years) quickly and professionally. |
Behrens AV in Jacksonville FL was more than courteous, professional, fair. and timely. Bill was a pleasure to work with even though I never met him face to face. Highly recommended for those of us living in southeast Georgia. |
Bryston
Audio Advisor for on-line purchases.

Not meaning to hijack this thread, but are there any reputable dealers in the Kansas City, Missouri area?
Please message me so as not to hijack this thread.
Thanks in advance.

In my experience, Herron Audio, Immedia and Disc Doctor have been very good to outstanding. I found ARC (1980's and 90's) and (early) Mark Levinson to be less than acceptable, far below basic expectations. Musical Concepts / Musial Design also deserves a thumbs up. But in my opinion, none are in the same league as Herron Audio.

|
Daedalus, Herron, Atma-Sphere, DEQX, Bryston, and VAC certainly belong on this list.

I can't believe I left out...
Clear Day Audio - Paul Laudati, the sole proprietor and cable maker for Clear Day, is as nice a guy as I have ever talked with in this hobby. The quality that he is offering for the asking price is practically absurd. Upon burning them into my system, the sound quality was and still is superb. One of the few purchases I've made in my decades in audio that I felt a bit guilty that I didn't pay more! |
+100 for Modwright. Tyler Acoustics is also a top notch outfit. |
I can't believe I left out Modwright- yes, they have great products and customer service that is second to none. They answer emails right away and no question is too small. I bought their modded Oppo a couple of years ago and was very happy with it. |
Zu Audio. My experience over the last decade has been flawless. |
For best dealers:
Audio Classics, Vestal NY
Audio Connections, Verona NJ
Please add to this list.

Companies who make great gear and stand behind it!
SMc Audio - What Steve, Patrick and company can do for your vintage McCormack amplifier is breathtaking. The original DNA concept was a winner and remains one as they continue to offer fantastic circuit upgrades, wiring and jack improvements.
Modwright - Dan and Kristen are responsive to any need you may have and clearly spell out what they can do for your equipment. Not inexpensive, but well worth it. They can transform a good basic piece of gear into a near masterpiece.
RHB Dezigns - The Backerts are salt of the Earth individuals who took my stock cj PV-12L and over a few mods. and a considerable re-imagining of the circuit, made it a reference performer. All of their experience led them to start making their own Backert's Labs gear.
PS Audio - I've owned four of their power regenerators over the years. The P500 was an early effort which I traded up to a Premier Power Plant. When the regenerator blew as it was inadequate to handle my amplifier, they cheerfully sent me a new one immediately and then not long ago, offered a generous trade-up to a P5 which is where I am now. Every iteration of their regenerators is better than the previous ones. Go to their site and sign up for the daily Paul's Posts. Mr. McGowan is one from whom you can learn much.
Vandersteen Audio - Last but certainly not least, for four decades Richard Vandersteen has worked to successfully refine his basic speaker design concepts. I worked through his line from the 2C in the 1980's to the Model 3 then 3A then 3A Signature and now to the Treo CT accompanied by two 2wq subwoofers. Fantastic Value Products!
