Dealers you would recommend

[Nic P]

It struck me that although good service from particular dealers is quite frequently mentioned, it might be useful to have a thread that brings such recommendations together. I will start off by saying I have had five star service from the following dealers - in alphabetical order (I have left out other great dealers who no longer exist, but thanks to Peter T-D and Maurice T):

Central Audio
Midland Audio Exchange
UHES (Ultimate Home Entertainment Systems)

I've had excellent service from:

Audio Gold - North London
Hughie at Emporium in Deal, Kent
Sonata - NW London
Lotus340r - W London and of this parish
Lound and Clear - Edinburgh

For our American (or travelling) forum members:

Bjorn's in San Antonio
The Needle Doctor in Minneapolis/St Paul (can't remember which side of the river) - the most fantastic stylus/cartridge specialist

First and perhaps foremost, Audio Origami and Loud & Clear (Glasgow).

Recently I have had excellent service (LP12 replinth and setup) from Ceritech Audio in Monmouth:

The best LP12 service in literally decades.

+ 1 for Audioflair, Adrian is good to deal with and makes a refreshing change from the typical dealer set up.

GT Audio - outstanding service over 20 years. The best I have ever experienced in the Hi-Fi world.

Audio Origami - excellent work and short turn round times from J7

Audio T Cheltenham - great service from Jon and the guys there

I didn't mention Audio T Cheltenham because I only used them once and they were excellent. A close friend has also used them and thought the service was very good.
