[QUOTE="Agaton Sax, post: 1042778, member: 2475"] I thought I made it quite clear that we do need dealers. On the Linn- Naim wave of the 80s, a lot of my generation got fed up with the aggressive attitude then prevalent amongst dealers. There were incidents like the one I related above with Audio Research, there was a country farmer who visited a dealer with a bagful of cash and only wanted to hear his ABBA tape and was subsequently chased out of the shop, the Linn rep who looked with distaste at my ageing Sondek and smirked: "Ag Shame, such an old Linn". For that very reason, the Linn got dumped for a Goldmund as soon as I could afford it. The Smirker is still in the game and will neither receive business nor referrals from me despite it being nearly 40 years later. Dealers need to overcome that stigma. [/QUOTE]
