Don't worry, Randy. Guys like me love customers like you.
Please keep buying. Many stores are struggling & they need the business. My key dealer in Manhattan closed his doors in August. Although it was due to a landlord dispute, reduced revenue was the underlying cause. The recession & the continuing march of homogenized digital music are leaving both high end dealers & the custom installer brigade in tatters in many markets. Start preparing for a no-choice scenario with nothing but big-box retailers on the horizon.
High quality recorded music is also down for the count with slashed budgets & the 'squash the dynamics' crowd in control of the checkbooks.
