What happened to all the highend stereo shops


What happened to high end stereo shops I mean real high-end stereo shops. I am 78, my father bought me my first stereo when I was 12, I have been hooked ever since. I remember the days when you can go to a nice audio store and not just audition what they had in the store but if you saw a couple of tuners, preamps or some cables that you liked, you could give them a blank check and take the equipment home to audition on your system. Bring one or both back Pay for what you want to keep or get your check back. I don’t understand how someone can buy an expensive piece of audio equipment and not audition it in their system first. Many places today, you buy it and your stuck with it. OH yes you can sell it on Audiogon or eBay. Reviewers are nice and give good reviews but the problem I have is the equipment they are auditioning  is on their system in their treated music room which is going to be different than what you have.

You need to go read your Bible !

Discussion about religion really doesn't belong here but given that it's being tolerated now, I'll ask @crlambert:

When you say I need to read my Bible, what you really mean is that you insist I read your Bible, right?

@cleeds Why you have taken my words out of context to attack my character, to attack Christianity

It looks like you have me confused with someone else, @crlambert. All I've done is ask a question.

I suggest you correctly identify the person you claim attacked you, and then alert the moderators. That's what they're for.
