basic tutorial sites

In the spirit of stevdart's post, from a consumer's point of view, I have a few items on my wish list for audio sales people.

1)  Respect my taste in music.  Nothing will make me walk out faster than turning your nose up at my music.  Learn what ranges of sound are important for various kinds of music.

2)  Tell me WHY you like a component better if I ask.  Not just, "I like brand X"3)  Help me COMPARE different solutions and components.  (anyone can read the frickin box specs)4)  Don't act annoyed when I ask you to A/B test something again.5)  Don't play games to upsell me.  (putting more expensive speakers on a different amp, trying to mess with the bass eq, etc.)  I actually saw a guy add +6db to the bass boost and then had the gall to say, "strong midbass on these speakers, huh?"6)  Don't assume I can't spend money just because I happen to be dressed in jeans that day (more for home audio stores)7)  Do your research on general audio concepts.  (congrats to you, soup)  I enjoy supporting local and small business, but I will gladly give an online retailer my money if the salesperson makes dumb-ass statements.  i.e. "you can't run quart's with less than 150 watts, you may as well use your head unit power"  Buh bye.  8)  Don't assume I give a rat's ass how something looks.  In other words, feel your customer out.  Chrome on subwoofers and moving pictures on head units don't impress everyone.
