Tone of music -> you come to audition you buy. If not, don't waste my time.
Devore / Bay Area
Dear friends,
This is a random request from the community. I live in the Bay Area, just outside SF. I am contemplating laying down a 50% deposit on a pair of Devore o/baby's. I have a low powered tube amp that is currently mismatched with my speakers and I have read so many great reviews about the Devore Orangutan's and these are within my budget. The problem is that I've never heard any Devore speakers.
So my request to y'all - are there any of you here in the Bay Area that would be open to letting me listen to your Devore o/whatevers system so I can at least know what the Devore sound is all about? I am up in Vallejo, but willing to travel. Thank you! - A

Well , it appears @eric5kim is the owner of Tone of Music and his response shows why I didn’t buy. I have tried twice to buy equipment from him and both times he was rude and opinionated to the point of insulting. I have spent well over $20,000 in the past two years upgrading my equipment. He had not received a dime of my money. And I always buy local unless it’s impossible. |
@deadhead1000. I was writing my experience with Tim at Tone of Music. I guess I got my point across. |

I implore any A'gon gear purchasers to give eric5kim his wish and never buy anything from him. Ever. There are far too many other gear sellers who are nice people deserving your biz (Moon audio recently made that list, along with Pass Labs who I talked to for an hour). As a personal note, I owned a multi million dollar successful small broker/banker business for decades, and talked to people with zero pressure all the time...the referrals allowed me to retire in my early 50s. Let's hope ol' eric5kim works 'till he's 106. |
