I dealt with Frank Gow. He is very knowledgable and fair. A delight to work with!

I ordered a bunch of Stereophiles from them. They came in good time, but one was in bad shape (torn cover). They replaced it and took care of the shipping. That was nice of them, but considering their prices are steep (the highest prices for used gear around), they should have caught something like a torn cover (more of it was torn than not torn).

Helped me find a Krell KST100 and a great selection of Mcintosh gear due to close proximity to Mcintosh Labs.

I wanted to buy an AudioControl R-130 spectrum analyzer, but there are no dealers in my state. AudioControl referred me to Audio Classics, apparently their only mailorder outlet. I called and got Mike, who was courteous and efficient. They had one new R-130 in stock for $579, which I think is at or close to MSRP. I didn't try to negotiate a lower price. I didn't think to ask them to double-box it, but they did anyway. It arrived about a week later, which is pretty good considering it was in the middle of the Christmas rush.

Got a great deal on demo Cinema Grand. Mike sent me the tracking# the next day as promised. Amp was in great condition.

I called Audio Classics, Inc. with the intention of purchasing an Audiosource Amp1 amplifier that I had seen on sale for $199.00. However, it had sold earlier that morning. I wanted that model because it had output-level controls ( my budget system only requires a CD player and amp, along w/speakers). The salesmen (Frank- very helpful) made a number of suggestions and I chose a Carver TFM-15cb demo which I purchased for $300.00 (down from $399.00). I am very pleased and will buy from them in the future.

I feel they are at the extreme high-end of prices as far as used equipment is concerned (as soon as I got my amp I saw it in another publication for $200.00 less) the quality is exactly as advertised. My amp did not have one flaw! So for probably hassle free audio trading they are great BUT you will pay for it!

They correctly identified the condition of the integrated amp I was interested in purchasing, and were willing to deal on the price. I found them to be responsive and truthful. It came exactly as promised. They weren't overly friendly or jocular, but they did their job effectively. I've had it at home now for 2 weeks and it is working perfectly. I would definitely deal with them again in the future.

I recommend them!
