I don't know anything about his reputation other then that he is on Akai's list as an authorized dealer. Does anyone have any experience with him good or bad? The guys I have spoken to in NYC have only had good things to say about him so far.

Armen is the coolest guy ..Straight shooter..I have bought and sold gear to him over a number of years . Other gear stores in NY don't like him because he's not out to rape you on the price . He will beat or meet any price he can. Yo Frag what ground do you have calling a hard workin man a theif ? This guy is one of the best techs in the TRi-state area...What

Thanks ZAM13 for your feedback. I spoke to Armen on the telly and he was mad cool plus the fact that I work in NYC so I can always go to his store if I have a problem.
