I've made a couple of purchases from Uncle Kevin. Both times the items were at a huge discount, cheapest I could find at the time, and the shipment and support were first rate. Nothing to complain about.
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.
