I must defend my town's Radio Shack. It used to be a proper electronics store before the owner franchised. I go in there and talk to the owner, who is in a band, and he knows exactly what I am asking for and he can find it with his eyes closed. And I can get mic stands and such at decent prices in two or three days. I also know who builds the Radio Shack equipment (RCA for stereos, switch cract for connectors, Shure for Mics, Samson for P.A. equipment, KOSS for headphones. Each of these companies have dedicated lines and quality assurance inspectors for their Radio Shack stuff with a significantly smaller return item number than the name brand stuff (2-3% compared to 7%+). R.S. stores might suck where you live and they may have limited pro line stuff, but in alot of cases they have merchandise that you will not find in alot of stores. And in a small town with no music store (pro or consumer) they have have made my day plenty.
Peace, Jim
