Is there an audio company that offers exceptional customer support? Who are they and what do they do?

Some manufacturers just sell you a product through their retailers and are done with it. Others reach out and make you feel part of an extended family. Is there an audio company that offers exceptional customer support? Who are they and what do they do?

JVS and the reviewer's dilema

I keep reading this months piece by JVS and keep wondering what is an equipment reviewer to do? How can he not somewhat side step the performance to zero in on what the equipment is doing?

It would seem that at best the equipment reviewer is taking a broad stroke of some familar music and decide how it differs from some other system (HIS Main) or other recently reviewed components. It also seems that getting into the timber of sound would be very difficult unless you were present at the recording session and can recall that moment in time.

Still burning in my bank of childhood memories are misty images of the glowing green lettering on the McIntosh tube preamps and tuners that populated the windows of the audio stores that once lined lower Manhattan's Cortlandt Street. Leonard's and most of those other retailers are long gone—as are most of the audio brands that shared their windows with McIntosh, and that once symbolized the might of American innovation and manufacturing. Even the World Trade Center, the controversial complex that replaced Cortlandt Street's "Radio Row," where the hi-fi industry was born, is tragically gone.
