John Rutan / Audio Connection

Hi everyone.  I wanted to share a great experience with John Rutan of Audio Connection. 

While searching to purchase an Audio Research preamp, I found what I was looking for, a black LS28.  I wasn't familiar with the seller's ID as I'm not a steady buyer of audio equipment.  I contacted the seller and immediately felt very comfortable talking with John Rutan.  We agreed on a price and it was air freighted from New Jersey to Hawaii, and arrived in a few days.  The preamp was in superb, one owner, like new condition with very low (450) hours.  Break-in already done for me!  John is a true gentleman, honest, courteous, professional, extremely knowledgeable and very easy to work with. 

A big thanks to John!

He is super nice, honest and helpful. Years ago though, before he expanded to an additional building across the street, he had an employee whose name I never knew who was rude to me on several occasions and used to give me the stink eye. He was short and bald with a mustache and wire rimmed glasses. I wanted to mention it to John, but I felt uncomfortable in doing it. I hope that he doesn't still work there.

Another happy customer of John. I drove from MA to NJ 3 years ago for a used pair of Magnepan 3.7i speakers. John treated me very fairly and put on a great speaker demo while I was there, very relaxed no pressure time. Hopefully I'll get back there some time. He's always very helpful if you call be to talk.
