For those willing to dig…a manufacturer/ designer of renowned MC cartridges almost begged ( my words ) a prospectus customer to NOT buy his cartridge….. then the peanut gallery of armchair cartridge designers weighed in……
Fee for home audition
I am in the market for a music server/streamer. I was discussing with one of the authorized dealers for a streamer. He had a demo unit and was willing to bring to my home for an hour and let me try. He is located around 10-15 minutes from my home. He wants to charge 5% for home demo. Is this the industry standard? I am not meaning to disparage anyone so not going to name the dealer. I am just trying to see what the standard practice is.

@ghasley Always the voice of reason and a cultivator of relationship and trust vs. the shallow transactional view of an ART obsession we chase in the service of music reproduction. I amassed 12 phono stages …at home for a week long trial….. thru relationship… PM me the dealer Kind Sir, most likely somebody i can relate to….. Peace Jim |
