I live here in San Diego, and have bought/sold directly from Jeff in the past. I just tried to call myself, and got the automated, "We're sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected or is no longer in service" message. Then I did a quick Audiogon search, and found this thread.
Bummer. Is he really DOA? There are some Audiogon listings of his that were just posted. Perhaps they have just closed the retail store only? I will drive down there this weekend and see if there is a note on the door.
I do recall on my last trip there he was bitching that National City had recently enacted a sales tax increase of 1%. That comes right out of his buyer's pockets. In a highly competitive business like audio gear, a 1% price increase could be a deal breaker. Maybe he saw sales go down as a result. Or maybe it's just another resale store squashed by the ebay elephant?
