Enough is Enough


I've been looking at changing my DAC. I was considering Lampizator, Playback Designs, and Ideon. Recently a dealer basically told me(with the exception of my subwoofer and music server) my system sucks. He went on to say, I should sell my amps, preamp, DAC, speakers, and start all over! I've owned several different speakers, amplifiers, and DACs. I've attended shows and several different dealers show rooms. In fact, I directly compared one of the amplifiers the dealer recommended to a Rowland 625 S2 amplifier and preferred the 625 S2. I didn't build my system in a vacuum. I determined what I wanted to spend, listened and purchase what I preferred. I've been in sales and submit it would have been better to recommend a DAC that would improve my system. So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some dealer will tell me it's crap and I have to start over.

Don’t let that one salesperson ruin your experience.  There are a lot of highly qualified and experienced audio sales people around who are willing to add value to your purchasing journey.  

My take: two-fold on your dealer salesman’s uber-crass and uber-insulting response,

(1) I would only have one thing to say your dealer salesman: it is the slang profane pejorative embodied in GENESIS 9:7.

(2) Furthermore, I would not even call him the slang term for a protologist’s subject matter, because  an a****le actually serves a useful function .

"So now I say, maybe enough is enough; because no matter what I have some poster will tell me it's crap and I have to start over. "  

Nothing to see here.  Move along.  (Jedi)

Sounds more like a shady used car dealer. Of course he said your system is crap and how convenient he just happens to sell stuff that will make it the best system ever. As others have said, you'd do well to find a different stereo business to deal with.
