I bought the upgraded AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 CD player way back when. Kevin usually answered the phone. And was great at answering newbie dfq’s.
There is a reason he has a long standing successful business.
Upscale Audio is up front with customers
I have not bought from Upscale before but have enjoyed their videos. The approach Kevin Deal is taking with his customers is really up front and honest. A good model for how to communicate in audio, and in general.
