I truly feared all of my files were gone forever. Wedding pictures, baby photos, and vacations we'd taken over the years. Plus all my music and video files. Adam and the Nerd Rangers saved almost everything for me on a 5TB drive. Their pricing is incredibly reasonable. I'd called a couple services that would have needed me to mail off the drive and they quoted me much higher rates as their minimums. I'm so glad I found Nerd Rangers. They're local and kept me updated every step of the way. I can't recommend them enough. Thanks again guys!

I was unsuccessful with a previous computer store, located on Ogden ave, figuring out the reason my…read morehigh end gaming PC would crash while running games. They ran their tests, charged me a fee and could not replicate the failure. Once I got the computer home, it crashed once the game was being played and they said they did everything they could and I was out of luck. I decided months later to see Adam at nerd rangers. He was very thorough in gaining background on the issue. He asked me whether the other repair shop tried to run the actual game? I was not sure so he went ahead and loaded Fortnite and said he would do his best to replicate the issue. Later that day he reached out to let me know that he believes he found the reason the game crashed (as it did for him) and he felt confident that he fixed the issue. When I went to pick up the computer he reassured me that if for some reason the fix didn't work he would continue to work with me to identify the problem. Happy to report that I've run multiple games with zero crashes and everything is running fine. The level of service, detailed questions and customer care was excellent. Thanks Adam!

The short review: incredible customer service, extremely knowledgeable staff and very fair pricing. David's consultation on what we wanted/needed in the house was great. He was very clear in presenting options and pros/cons of different equipment. He laid out the process and other than a little glitch (that was not their fault) everything went very smoothly. We now have the entertainment system and home audio we have always wanted. Thank you Davis Audio/Video!

Working with Matt was exactly that. He was prompt, professional, and refreshingly easy to work with.

As a small business owner, having someone reliable to call when technology gets in the way is invaluable. If you're looking for an IT professional who knows his craft, communicates well, and delivers on his promises, I highly recommend him. Good people are hard to find. Great IT people are even harder.

Matt Hunt has done everything I've ever needed for my computer, phone, and network. Recently, my…read morecomputer was all of a sudden not working and I called on the chance that he had an opening same day. He really didn't but he's all about helping his customers however he can. He was able to get me in remotely for an hour to see what he could do. In the four-ish years I've been working with Matt, I'd never worked with him remotely. It's very cool and he got to the heart of the matter quickly without being here. And he told me what to do to keep it from happening again and he was right. Matt is kind, caring, funny, nice to kids and dogs, and a total find.

I recently went in to Barrett's to check on their selection of B&W loudspeakers, basically…read moreattempting to convince myself that I really did want to spend the money for a new stereo. I was pretty happy with my experience. The specific speakers I was looking for were not on display in a listening room, but rather kind of on a display intended to showcase the entire line of B&W gear. Rather than make me stand awkwardly and listen to them, the sales person (Dave) moved them in to a listening room for me. Much better experience, and something he definitely wouldn't have had to do. Even though I hadn't brought my music that day, Dave ran me through a couple of his recommended demo discs, things that highlighted capabilities, etc. Very enjoyable. When I came back, he basically left me alone for almost two hours while I listened to some of my own CDs. No qualms about just giving me the remotes, and letting me go to town. He checked in periodically to make sure I didn't have questions, but didn't hover and make me feel uncomfortable. Dave was pretty upfront about being new to the store, having come from a different hi-fi retailer (I think Tweeter, may they rest in peace), so he wasn't bashful about saying "I don't know - let me get you an answer" when confronted with a question he couldn't answer. Much more satisfying that trying to BS me. And overall, he was very knowledgeable, and not snobbish audiophile about the specific music I listened to. No, not all of it is perfect...but it is what's gonna get played. So it's important that it at least sound decent. Additionally, I'm upgrading from a pretty Best Buy class stereo, and I told him I was just looking for speakers. He respected that, and made some recommendations as far as "here's what I would do as my next upgrade" but didn't insist that buying speakers was pointless without a couple thousand dollars worth of new amplifiers to go along with it, which was nice. I mean, maybe it is pointless, but he at least respected that I wasn't going to buy 500W monoblock amps that very instant. And when it came time to finally plunk down that cash, he didn't try to up-sell me on stuff I didn't want. I'm on the fence about your expensive interconnect and speaker cables. So yes, I'll probably buy some, someday. What I have now is decent, and when I said, "For right now I'll just use what I have," he accepted that without trying to pressure me. I did end up picking up a used amplifier that had been used as an in store demo piece - and that's where the star got lost. Another sales person tried to convince me to buy two identical amplifiers, and bi-amp/bi-wire my speakers. Yeah, that would have been super sweet, but I wasn't intending to spend the money on an amp that day anyway (only did it because of the amazing price) so I felt that might have been a bit of a money grab..."maybe we can get him to buy *two* amplifiers!!" But, all in all, I would recommend this as a place to listen. Kind of a limited brand range - I saw B&W and Klipsch speakers only, Marantz, Rotel, Sony, and McIntosh source/amplifiers only. So great for me, since I was pretty limited to B&W and Rotel or Marantz as far as brands I was interested in, but if you're walking in with a blank slate, your options might be a bit limited. Maybe it'd be best to say, Barrett's carries only your popular premium brands, and not the less common boutique brands.
