Don't always go to the big box store :-)

So I posted earlier on the problems I was having getting technical advice from JB HIFI.

In frustration I walked around the block the the Audiophile stereo shop. I wouldn't normally even enter there but I figured they could answer my question.

So he did. Plus he lent me some gear to take home and try myself.

Then I asked for a price fully expecting it to cost a lot more. JB HIFI quoted me $1020 for the gear I wanted and this was after me haggling and him checking with the manager etc. The audiophile shop opened with $980 and I didn't even want to haggle after that.

Then he invited me back for a Melbourne Cup beer this afternoon.

Has me rethinking my whole approach to buying anything new now.

Saved money and got to spend it in a high St store.
 
Hubby is kind of an audiophile

He never buy from any big name store, especially because they don't usually have specific brand

The last time he buy from a specialist store, they know their stuff (not "hey mate, how can I help you JB style), gave him good price, also throw in high quality cable for very good price :)
