    Last time I visited a dealer? Probably over twenty years ago to buy a pair of Sennheiser headphones.

    My dealer came to me with demo stock , then they drove 6 hours to deliver the stuff I ordered. Superb service and highly commended. Before that I went to be audio who sadly closed down

    Recently went into one of the Glasgow dealers after my CD player died, although very friendly they were not interested in selling me a new CD player but only demonstrated Streaming products that were all over my budget.
    Also visited Richer Sounds who very fine showed a few different products and options but would need to arrange a demo at a later date.
    Regards

    You'd probably walk out bankrupt if you did!

    April of last year I bought a pair of B&W CM8 S2's so that would be my last time. I live in a part of the country where the nearest decent Hi-Fi shop would be over 40 miles away.

    I remember Brady's when they were down Smithdown Road. I bought a Naim 42/110 from them and a Lentek Entre 1 cartridge. Can't remember exactly when but must've been around 1979.
