...and following on from the previous note, should I decide to get an Ekos, who should I buy it from? Up until now I have been using Radford Hi-Fi in Windsor, but I am hearing some very good reports about Newbury Audio. So what does the panel think of this dealer? Tarik

I have always found Reading Hi-Fi very helpful and useful. They
are Linn Dealers. Even If you are not buying, they still take time
to help you. I can recomend them.

I've visited Newbury Audio (just casually browsing), and they seemed really helpful. As they have just started out, they may be better than some of the more established dealers. I don't think you can go far wrong with either Reading HiFi or Newbury. Mark. | |||||
| 168.3 | A vote for Newbury Audio | KERNEL::BROOKER | Tue Oct 16 1990 10:57 | 16 | |
I bought my kit from Newbury Audio and have been very impressed
with the after sales service. I have received from them product
update information for my Roksan as well as servicing reminders
and an interesting newsletter listing particularly good recordings.
His (Phil's) listening room is excellent and very "living room"
like with a comfy leather couch to sprawl on. When I did my listening
I felt no pressure and did a direct comparison between Linn and
Roksan and several sets of speakers - in fact he seemed to be having
as much fun as I was. I booked a weekday afternoon and he closed
the shop for me so I would advise ringing first ( although his staff
situation may well have improved since then).
PS. Even his coffee is good.

A received a letter from Phil Thompson, or Newbury Audio saying that he
has ceased trainding at Weavers Walk. apparently this was due to
substantiallt increased costs.
Phil is selling of his old demo equipment including quite a lot of
stuff from Linn products, Arcam, Ruark, Epos, Royd, Nak etc. He can be
contaced on 0628 782040 anytime.
Phil is the second quality Hi-Fi dealer to close down in this area in
the last 12 months, F'brought Hi-Fi being the first.
Sad,
Rik
Ps I have no cconection with Phil except that we both liked music.

The notice he left in the window is characteristic. It says something
like Thank you to his customers, no thank you s to "time=wasters", and
he leaves people to "the tender mercies of B&B Hi-Fi. Good luck --
you'll need it."
