Who is the WORST Audio Shop?


There seems to have been quite a bit written over the past several years regarding the myriad of reasons one can attribute to the demise of the brick and mortar audio shop. Rarely have I read however one of the most obvious reasons, which based on my experience, has got to be the simple fact that for the most part, they just didn't offer a high end listening experience. That, along with an elitist and careless attitude towards customer service, buried them as much as anything else. So here's my question. Who is the WORST audio shop/dealer you've ever encountered?

Sound By Singer.

If you walk in just as a casual customer, you will immediately feel that you don't belong there and everyone wants you to make your way out.

If you shine your Oyster Perpetual on your wrist along with law-school alumni ring and dressed with top of the line designer couture, you'll get attention from group of salesman square-dancing around you to offer you top of the line products.

When I was there, I felt my gypsy skin color was to tan for'm as well...


John Rutan is indeed bright spot in the darkness.

To get treated right in NYC you simply get out of NYC.

What an asinine and uninformed statement.

That may be true, but after living nearly 20 years in NYC I deeply concur to it.

For Andy Singer to be in business requires to be large size S-hole and this is what holds him in business, because the larger of an S-hole you are or the deeper you 'stick it in...', the larger respect you get and the clientele with larger wallet. That's typical NYC kultura

"Hey get outa here -- your wallet size is too small for this establishment!!"


I have also positive imprint about Twins. Clean, organized, great public transportation and very cycle friendly. Loved the skywalk as well!

randy-11, I never forget that rough winter with over a meter of snow when I woke up, started my vehicle and went to business meeting without any shoveling and without getting stuck anywhere on my way in Minneapolis. A night prior when storm was just starting to land, I saw an army of snow removal vehicles surfing the interstate and city streets sweeping away anything in excess of half-inch continuously non-stop! I also saw in private sector owners of pickups with plow removing snow from neighbor's driveways!

after winter, for some reason the road is still smooth and flat with no New York or New Jersey type of pot holes that can destroy your bushings in a matter of few hits. What's wrong with black flies -- they're absolutely harmless! There are cities and states that spray them, but spray is far more dangerous than black flies.

It indeed worth to see Twins prior making blunt assumptions

At 16th street location of ’Singer front counter woman was the only attraction of the store. She seemed to be not ’trained’ as other sales dudes there that ’scan’ your wallet first as perhaps quality of your skin.
