In-store, I find Calumet helpful and comprehensively stocked, with an extensive selection of competitively priced own brand products. They don't have as many stores as in the past. Online, their product descriptions are often vague and the pricing is not to competitive They have a very tight review policy on their website so there are almost no client reviews. I've had problems with two of their products, which failed, and the reviews were not published. I think this is a silly policy. Overall, I would recommend them, but for key studio components that have to take heavy loads, go into a store and check them out first.
