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.
