Brands of Elec's & Speakers Sold & Auditioned

Hi folks,

Over the years, I have sold and / or worked at stores that carried many brands of electronics, speakers, cables, interconnects, power conditioners, accessories, etc. on a part time basis in PA and VA. Here is the list as of April 2008.

Similarly, I have gone to many stores and home based dealers over the years and auditioned numerous other brands of electronics, speakers, etc. as above. Here is the list as of September 2008.

Auditioning does not necessarily mean that I sat down for hours or weeks or so like a reviewer might do. It means that, at a minimum, I have listened to a system with that brand of gear in at regardless of what type of gear it is or how short or long the demonstration or listening session was or how many times I experienced it.

Yes, I do have a list of my favorite systems and brands. I hope that you all find these two lists interesting and perhaps even inspiring too.
