I just called J&R Music World, and boy am I upset.
I call, and am put on hold for a bit, no big deal. This guy picks up the
line, and I start asking for prices about stuff. After everything I am
checking on's price is quoted, he asks "Would you liek to place an
order." Over and over. I repeadly say I am only checking prices, and
once that gets into his head, he gets really cold with me. Like if I
don't place an order with his pushy butt, I am nothing. Even if they are
cheaper, I'm not going to give my buisness to a place like that. Noone
should.
On the good side of mail order, I called a wonderful place today. It's
called KAB, the owner(?) is named Kevin. I called to check on
avaliability of stuff, and prices, and we had a great conversation about
so-called "high-end" equipment and turntables. He spoke of the all
around kick-butt quality of the SL-1200, and how stupid audiophiles are
for disliking direct drive. I talked to this mail order guy for 20
minutes, and he didn't rush me, or demand that I take an oder right
now. He just wanted to explain to me how things worked. I highly
reccomend giving them (him) a call. And they have all sorts of great
turntable things.
Boycott J&R. :)
