I have recently purchased a set of stereo components from DAK.  They were 
shipped on-time (after a VISA card problem was ironed out at the bank) and
I am satisfied with the quality and price.

I did have trouble getting a current catalog from them, and in getting in
touch with them by phone.  After I placed my order with them, they sent me a
notice that my VISA charge had not been approved, they listed an 800 number, 
which was frequently busy.  When I did get through, the problem was cleared 
up immediatly and the items sent promptly.

Sometimes it seems like people on the net project problems with one company
onto all companies, as one person did confusing JS&A with DAK.  In this
case, I will do business with them again and I'll post their address when
I find the catalog (which is interesting and well printed).  Meanwhile,
there are a few audio companies in the SF bay area I will not do business with, 
since they do not have refunds, service, polite salesmen, etc.
