As others have said, Audio T staff are very friendly and the Manchester branch is no exception. Can't say the same about Richer Sounds branches though, they can be quite dismissive and rude.
I do buy more second hand stuff these days and I wonder how hifi shops survive in the internet age.

Not my experience with Richer Sounds in Preston - over the last few years I have bought several small value items (AKG 'phones, Bluetooth speaker, Wharfedale Diamonds, Sony AV amp) and they always had plenty of patience and made me feel valued.
Last big purchase was my Zu Omen Defs from Audio Counsel, and although I'm happy with them, I know that when (if) I sell them on, what I will get for them won't even cover the extra £1800 I paid for the 'special' finish. So second hand every time from now on.

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
