As a flip-side to my recent thread about communication challenged dealers, thought it would be useful to have a role of honour for dealers we like and would not hesitate to recommend to others! Could be useful for all of us. Please let us know who you rate and why. So here we go with my faves -

Adrian @ Audioflair - my favourite dealer. So relaxed and easy to deal with, it's a pleasure to spend time with him. Always has some interesting second-hand gear aswell as new.

Ian @ AA Acoustics - loved dealing with Ian for my latest amp - goes beyond the call of duty in offering considered advice.

John @ Midland Audio Exchange - very efficient, prompt, hassle-free service. Does some excellent prices as well.

Hughie @ Emporium - a friendly chap always happy to advise. Handled a warranty issue for me very graciously aswell.

Paul @ RFC - not going to say any more about this lad or his head may not fit through the door! Only kidding!!

David @ Radlett Audio - I've never bought anything from Hi-Fi Dave but my dealings with him suggest total confidence.

The Audio Works Cheadle have always given me sound advice, let me hear anything I want to in the shop and allow me to take items home with no pressure to buy. always friendly and lovely coffee.

Seconded: its a long drive for me, but I trust Simon for relatively impartial advice. He also does good trade-in prices, and long home loan periods (IMO).

I would recommend Doug Brady HiFi in Warrington as an excellent dealer.

Friendly and informed staff, I have never felt pressured into any one particular brand or direction. Home demoes not a problem either

Also serviced my old Systemdek TT and repaired an old Creek amp I had at a most reasonable cost.

I would have to say that Simon Griffin of HiFi Sound in Stockton On Tees is without doubt the best dealer i have ever dealt with by a very large margin.:)
