New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest


Hello everybody. I’ve been a part of the Audiogon community for a number of years as a consumer, where my old username was thiefoflight. Some of you may remember some of our discussions.

I wanted to let you know that I recently started a high end audio company called Bliss Hifi located in the Minneapolis region in the upper midwest. Part of my business is dedicated to guiding people in their journeys and helping build their dream hifi systems. As such, I am now an authorized dealer for a few notable brands, including T+A, Aurender, Audionet, DH Labs, and Tri-Planar tonearms, and I’m also reaching out to more manufacturers to secure a relationship with them. I also offer very attractive trade-in value towards equipment. If you are in need of guidance anywhere across the US, or if you are in the upper midwest and want to have an appointment set up for a demo or consultation, I’d be happy to chat more. This is a true passion project of mine, and I love to network with audiophiles, so no pressure to buy - I just love to listen and help where I can.

In addition to services for audiophiles, I also have a >20-year career in product strategy, product design, marketing and user experience. I have been working with a few audio companies the past few years to help them bring new products and features to market, and I am helping them to understand which people are best fit for their products. I hope this can be seen as a valuable service to the audiophile market as well, as it means more relevant and valuable components that drive greater value to you at the end of the day.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them openly to facilitate discussion on this thread or PM me directly. Would love to hear from you!

Thank you!

Coming in late here, but good to hear Juan is going into business.  He's one of the smartest guys--and one of the nicest guys--I've run across in audio over 40 years.  Total straight shooter.  Best of luck to him.

 

Great to read about your new store. Best of luck. My systems have more or less been purchased from a boutique shops and is currently heavily Linn centric. Small speciality dealers are the only why to fly. I got into Hi-Fi in my late middle school and early high school and have only worked with small dealers ever since. 

 

 

Hi Juan, Good Luck, and welcome to the neighborhood. I was born and raised in south Minneapolis, and now live just south of the river (Eagan). I have had a passion for audio gear for about 50 years, and have finally gotten to the point of a true Audiophile. I went through probably every phase of Audio/Video from way back when. I have always honored the new additions of Audio Salons in the Twin Cities area. So Please keep us posted as I would love to consult with you in person. I'm sure you could teach an Old Dog some new tricks. I do have an extensive setup and could learn a thing or two. Hope to hear from you soon. Terry.

@dlshifi Seeing this quite late, but thank you for your kind words Dan. Hope to see you again soon!

@teeball It’s always great to meet local audiophiles, Terry. I’ll message you direct, and perhaps we can chat on the phone and arrange a visit to hear each our setups and take it from there!
