Although I haven’t had a chance to turn it on…I have played with all of the knobs and switches…

I wanted to reach out to you all and say what a great pleasure it is, in this day and age, to do business with such a professional and consumer-centric organization. you run a great organization in a increasingly difficult-to-satisfy world.

I really appreciate all the hard work you put in to help me in my anal-retentive struggle to get the best out of my equipment.

I know we have more business together down the road. Never hesitate to use me as a reference.
you run a great organization in a increasingly difficult-to-satisfy world.

I have great respect for what you have accomplished and continue to do so on a daily basis.

My best to you all and talk to you soon!!

Howdy Mike,

My name is Matt Heck and I purchased a Neumann U48 from Vintage King last week. I am writing to let you know what a fantastic experience I had with Ryan McGuire.

I have worked with Ryan before to purchase new products like UA reissue units and K&H monitors, but this was the first time I was considering spending a fairly large sum on a vintage item. In fact, I initially contacted Ryan about trading a couple of microphones and applying them towards a “replica brand" U48, and was just asking a couple of questions about the vintage 48's on your site.

Ryan very graciously offered to send them both for me to demo. When I expressed some trepidation about having two expensive mics in my care, Ryan offered to take them into the studio, put them through the paces, and report back with pertinent details. After doing exactly that, we had a discussion about the potential applications, and decided on the best candidate. Ryan also noticed a couple of issues with the mic that needed some attention, and he had one of your techs resolve the matters before shipping.

As I was still uncertain about spending twelve thousand dollars on a mic, I was hoping to be able to hear one of a “replica brand's" U48 offerings. We agreed that it needed to be a 48, and not a 47 to insure an “apples to apples” comparison. Ryan went through great lengths to procure a Tele 48 from your LA location. When the mic arrived with some shipping damage, he quickly generated shipping documentation and contacted service in Connecticut to arrange for a hasty repair, generously allowing me to hang on to the vintage 48 in the interim. Naturally, I accused him of trying to get me attached to it :).

Ryan was also extremely flexible in dealing with my indecision on a couple of trade items. First, he allowed me to return an RCA 77dx I had purchased from VK in June at full value to apply towards the trade. Second, he accommodated my change of heart on one of my trade in items - I had sent my 2-LA-2 to be part of the trade. It had already been photographed and was posted to the web site. He kindly removed it while I was trying to decide if I couldn't live without it.

I apologize for the length of this note, but I suppose it reflects the length of time it took for all the details of this transaction to be finalized. Even though it must have required a good deal of Ryan's time, he was always gracious and solution oriented - a true gentleman.

I know Vintage King has much larger clients, but I doubt you have any that are more satisfied.

Warmest Regards,

Matt Heck

Thanks again, bud, I really do appreciate all you’ve done for me!!!

Also, best to the entire VK team --- you guys/gals get top marks across the board…!

Great stuff! I've been clocking an 002 unit to it by SPDIF and using it as my AD front end (I have an SPL channel one and a True Systems P-solo that feed it). I have been very pleased with the solid, clear sound and how it is sitting in the mix. Thanks again for your speedy service. Now I just wish my 002 had word clock i/o!

Merry Christmas Darrin and thank you very much for everything you've done for me.

I am really happy and excited and I'll let you know how much I will appreciate the results in the recording session. I hope I can count on you for the future!

Happy new year in advance. Bye.

Hi,

That was fast! :)

I want to say thanks again to the vintage king team. My three orders with you were perfect in price, communication and speed.

Kind Regards,
Jeronimo

My experience of working with Vintage King was nothing short of first-rate. The ability to have candid dialogue was extremely important to me, and it was very helpful to cut right through sales rhetoric. It was extraordinarily comforting to know that I could pick-up the phone day or night and get honest answers in a timely fashion. As you can see from the pic, Vintage King products hold a premium position in our music control room.

Hi Mike!
I've been having a ball with the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor and the LaChapell mic pre you sold me! My mixes have been improved 100 percent due to these two pieces. Thank you so much for the guidance and letting me demo these guys!

Jody B, Virginia
Mike and Jeff, I know you have been very nice to us , and very responsible... Actually, one of the person in this industry mentioned to us: you will have problems of different kinds with all dealers, except Mike N of Vintage King.... My pleasure & luck to know you both!

So I got the unit yesterday in the morning. I used it all day and the thing is KILLER. It's just so nice. Tell your guys at the shop that they did an excellent job putting everything together!

Also, it is ULTRA clean. No hums no nothing: just the sound of neve compression SMEARED all over! Good shit!

Again, the new unit is great. I'm very happy with the job you guys did. It was worth the wait. Very clean job - and thats coming from a guy who went to art school!

Pleasure doing business with you.

Thanks so much Ryan!! You have really been great to work with, and I plan on using you for all my future gear purchases. You have been honest, fair, and absolutely wonderful to work with, and as a result I will always come to you first for all my gear needs.

Hey Ryan,
Vintage King is by far the greatest music store I had to do with ever! If you don't know, it also seems you have an incredibly good reputation over here in our small country! Just want to let you know :-)

Alexander S, Denmark
It sounds great (AK47), I'm very happy with the results. I was emailing to thank you for going the extra mile to resolve this problem. So I really appreciate your knowledge and exceptional customer service skills. U have earned a loyal customer!

Thanx again,
Eddie, Chicago
Mike,
I just wanted to take a few minutes and thank you for either initiating, facilitating, or orchestrating the mods / remedy of the 2 Inward Connections Mix 690s.

I understand that these mods cost either or both you and Steve time and money.

I also realize, that this would have not happened without your direct or indirect aptly applied influence.

To be clear, I was a fan of you and Vintage King before.

The great deals, the great service, as well as the blurb on the Producers page, all help me buy right, stretch my dollar, and keep my name out there.

But your performance with this issue, has really cemented things for me.

Suffice it to say, that as long as I'm buying gear, you'll be the one Im buying it from.

Thanks again,
Sean M, Pennsylvania

Thank you again, I appreciate your help and VK's awesome customer service - you all are living up to your stellar reputation.

Erin
The D-Box is working perfectly and the new cable is too. Fantastic service from you guys... I'll definitely be coming back to VK as soon as my pockets start feeling heavy again. Best service I get from any pro audio company I've dealt with (and I've dealt with many...).
