I've had great interactions over the phone, but arrogance once at Axpona.....but that was around the whole Fyne Audio/Tannoy situation, so maybe understandable
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.

@2psyop Yeah we lost your cartridge. So sorry. I think the one we replaced it with was a lot newer and maybe $400 more expensive because of it. Right after we told you we would replace it, we found the old one. I didn't want to back-peddle. An employee’s wife went into labor with their first child and he put it in his desk. A young first-time dad messed up. So long as you are happy. The video was done to simply let people know that there are substantial increases. I’ve heard the voices of disappointed people before, and it just happened to me when booking airfare. Within minutes, hundreds of dollars were gone. Thanks for all the kind words. I don’t get to help customers as much as I like. So I hire people better than I am, and have no problem saying that. Two degreed Electrical Engineers, ex-factory employees and reps from Sumiko, Pro-Ject, Clearaudio, Avantgarde, VPI, MartinLogan, Auralic, Ayre Acoustics and others. We have a good time with our customers whom we consider friends

Purchased my VPI/Hana/Sutherland 6 years ago, and 6 sets of tubes over the last 10 years, all with great results. 2 years ago an led on the Sutherland failed( nothing else, just the light ) so I contacted Upscale. Upscale got a hold of Sutherland, who sent me four amber replacements, at no cost. Cheers Upscale! |
I've only had positive experiences with Mr. Deal and his sales associates. I've purchased NOS tubes and some items. I've asked concerning higher end speakers and cartridges. Always received reasoned answers. Upscale is upscale in fact of customer service and products that usually provide musical enjoyment, often at very reasonable prices. |
