This is something I’ve noticed lately. A lot of hifi shops and hifi manufacturers have helpful staff, but just as many are extremely rude and arrogant.

I’ve had people speak condescendingly about my amp when I’m demoing speakers. Same thing for my speakers. I’ve even had someone, and I kid you not, tell me my streamer has shit sound quality.

It seems like hifi shops are either extremely helpful or just downright awful. The same with manufacturers, they either recognise that there exists alternatives or everything sucks ass compared to their product.

    I live in Mexico and went I to the only hifi shop I’ve seen around here (sells brands like Adcom, Pro ject etc). Owner was a totally arrogant prick. I’ll never go back Owners recommend it to anyone. I used to own a hifi store in Canada and sold much higher end products but never had an attitude. My attitude was always one of wanting to spread the gospel on what real good equipment can sound like and the experience. Never understood pricks like this guy. Also, he had no demo room, just all set up on the floor so there was no way you were going to properly experience any of the gear anyways. FFS
