New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest


Hello everybody. I’ve been a part of the Audiogon community for a number of years as a consumer, where my old username was thiefoflight. Some of you may remember some of our discussions.

I wanted to let you know that I recently started a high end audio company called Bliss Hifi located in the Minneapolis region in the upper midwest. Part of my business is dedicated to guiding people in their journeys and helping build their dream hifi systems. As such, I am now an authorized dealer for a few notable brands, including T+A, Aurender, Audionet, DH Labs, and Tri-Planar tonearms, and I’m also reaching out to more manufacturers to secure a relationship with them. I also offer very attractive trade-in value towards equipment. If you are in need of guidance anywhere across the US, or if you are in the upper midwest and want to have an appointment set up for a demo or consultation, I’d be happy to chat more. This is a true passion project of mine, and I love to network with audiophiles, so no pressure to buy - I just love to listen and help where I can.

In addition to services for audiophiles, I also have a >20-year career in product strategy, product design, marketing and user experience. I have been working with a few audio companies the past few years to help them bring new products and features to market, and I am helping them to understand which people are best fit for their products. I hope this can be seen as a valuable service to the audiophile market as well, as it means more relevant and valuable components that drive greater value to you at the end of the day.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them openly to facilitate discussion on this thread or PM me directly. Would love to hear from you!

Thank you!

@hilde45,

Don't you think you are asking a lot from a new store with just a few lines?  Way to go.

I remember your username and good luck it's fantastic to see new brick and mortar audio stores opening!

@hilde45 and @stereo5 - Neither of you are off. Bliss Hifi’s business model is more on the boutique and consultative side, especially with the particular lines we are carrying and pursuing. While Bliss Hifi offers sales to customers across the country, we’ll ensure that customers who order from afar are absolutely sure about the products they purchase.

That said, we already do offer in-home demos for people in the Minneapolis region. I agree that hearing a product in your own home is the best way to make a surefire decision, but for now it will be limited to people who are within a reasonable distance and are interested in products whose sales will justify the effort. In the process, I provide guidance on room setup and treatments, along with other optimizations that come to mind.

Thank you both for expressing your support and perspective!
