Manufacturers with great customer service

@elliottbnewcombjr one "minor" detail is missing, when did you write to Braun?

McIntosh, Great.

I prearranged a trip to my photography friend in Vestal (town adjacent to Binghamton, NY) with McIntosh for a checkup of a SS C28 Preamp and SS MC2250 Amp that I wanted checked over before I sold them.

I drop them off Thursday right after lunch, pick up Tuesday right after lunch.

They had them ready to go as promised (no problems with either piece). Easier to sell with receipts of checkup from McIntosh.

I had great experience with Dynaudio and Buchardt. Prompt, friendly, detailed responses. 

Manley as well. 

Then there are "onepercenters" who are arrogant and rude but that wasn’t the question

I agree entirely with jsd52756, Core Audio Design equipment racks work perfectly, are very well built and look beautiful. As an added bonus, the company owner, Arnold Marr, is an absolute delight to work with.

Wellllll, it was a bit long in the tooth, (maybe then +- 24 years old) but here we are age 60 years, it still works. That's a hellova motor, and switch.

The lack of any other comment, suggestion of a current model, nothing, I still think was Teutonically Rude.
