@freemo it's not just less satisfying, it's also less helpful when you need advice.

@DA70D6 Very true, there is a lot of value in having a space with real experts who will go out of their way to help. There is a **lot** of subtlety to electronics and a lot of little things you can learn from having the right people to buy from.
@freemo For sure. I have a local independant audio shop that's been running for two generations. Can't make a single purchase without running it by them anymore.
@DA70D6 with all the disinformation in audio if you found yourself a good well informed professional you better NEVER let them go :)

Man you don't even know, they remember my face and my habits and everything. I knew I had struck gold when one of their guys said "Hey man don't break your bank if you can't afford to" when I expressed that I really wanted a thing I couldn't afford.
A salesman told me not to buy something.

@troonigger @freemo Bought it a year later when I had the money. Best pair of headphones I've ever owned.

But I did listen to him, also as far as I know no one there is hired "as a salesman", they're all salaried and get no comissions and work on the shop as much as they work with clients. That's kind of why it's such a good place. They also try and approve everything in their shop personally.
