Brian Hoyer / In-Tone / kasa

This review is being posted here to serve notice to the community about my experience with Brian Hoyer. His original screen name here was Linn_Kasa, but is now just kasa. He was a long time Audiogon dealer. He was listed as a Linn dealer under the Linn_Kasa name, but is now listed on the Linn website as In-Tone of Leawood, Kansas. In late April I purchased a used/trade in DCS Rossini Apex player listed on here for a significant sum. Billed through his LLC In-Tone. After he didn’t produce I opened a dispute here in June and at the end of July he finally agreed to refund. After 2 weeks of stalling he stated he actually had the player since May. He has failed to send that as of today 9/15/23, and his account on here has been suspended. There is also a second dispute against him that he has not addressed. I will only urge you think hard before doing any business with him.

Audiogon Community,

This situation is deeply disconcerting and I am just learning about this today. Historically, my store manager, Bri West, and I have extended invitations to Brian Hoyer and his wife, Laura, to visit our devAAudio showroom, fostering a spirit of camaraderie within the audio community. We firmly uphold the belief that dealers should engage in cooperation, raise awareness, and cultivate enthusiasm for HiFi. To further this objective, we have collaborated on multiple events in the past.

I am profoundly shocked to learn of the current circumstances. Brian Hoyer is an experienced audiophile, with a long-standing history in the industry.

For clarity, it is imperative to state that devAAudio does NOT maintain any business relationship with the Hoyers or Linn Kasa. In response to this distressing news, I have instructed my team to promptly remove any social media posts associated with Linn Kasa from our platforms, as we have a zero-tolerance policy for such behavior.

I earnestly hope that all parties involved can identify appropriate legal remedies for this regrettable situation.

Sincerely,

Deva Chandramohan, Owner
