Testimonials

Hear What Customers are Saying!

Once again you delivered a high level of service and professionalism to our bedroom TV installation (wall mount and shelf).  I appreciated the little details you bring to the job.  The installation looks great and we can't thank you enough. 

I am happy to speak with any prospective customers about my experiences.

Alan Bates-Portland, Or.

A few months ago I needed assistance in converting a Portland basement room in an 80-year old house into a home theater.  After considerable research and interviewing competitors, I chose Dat Nguyen of DC Connections to do the work.  Most people who know me would say that I am a very picky consumer and not easy to please.  I also happen to have an independent interest in home theater electronics and am a bit more informed than most consumers about products and installation methods.  I have been very pleased with Dat's services and the design suggestions he made. Dat truly cares about his craft and having satisfied customers, and he returned on several occasions to fine tune things that were really beyond the scope of our original agreement.

In addition to being and excellent installer, Dat is also a very congenial and pleasant person to have in your home.  I now think him as  a friend, as well as highly qualified home theater expert.  I recommend him and his company, DC Connections without hesitation to my family, friends and any future prospects.

Ken Peterson-Portland, Or.

We were very impressed with the service and expertise at DC Connections.  Dat made an initial visit to our
home to assess situation.  Our home was pre-wired with speakers and volume controls, but was unsure if it
was functional.  Dat found several wires that were not hooked-up properly.  He made logical suggestions
on which were absolutely neccessary and encouraged to keep some out older components.  We also
needed a nice cabinet for everything.  Dat found one that matched perfectly with the rest of our furniture
and it was reasonably priced.  When all was complete, our home theater and stereo system sounded
fantastic!  All furniture was moved very carefully and all cords were neatly organized.  We would highly
recommend DC Connections as the prices were very fair and the service was exceptional.

We struggled with our audio-visual system from the time it was installed.  Simply put, we couldn't figure out how to use it. After working with several other supposed experts and many requests for referrals, we found Dat. In one quick visit to analyze our problem, he knew exactly how fix it so that it would work for us. By the end of two short visits, we had a solution in place that's worked beautifully since. In addition, Dat has been "on call" by phone several times to answer questions or walk us through a new function. We're absolutely confident in the system Dat re-built for us and absolutely confident recommending him to anyone else. Thanks Dat!

It has been our great good fortune to have discovered, among the many who offer their service in the Audio/Video profession, to have found Dat Nguyen.  He is a wonder to work with. He is always pleasant, on time, clear about options, efficient and knowledgeable. He worked with us on a restricted budget and managed to fit the part of the work that he was doing in our house into a tight schedule.  We can not possibly give anyone a higher recommendation.  
Sincerely,

Sandra Zickefoose-Portland, Or.

Installation of surround sound system in bonus room.  Five speakers, an A/V receiver and subwoofer.  He also installed 2 flat screen panels for bonus and living room.  Dat wired everything to be user friendly.  Dat installed the tv in living room along with TiVo, a DVD player and Diret TV.  He also wire an IR reater system-very user friendly.  The bonus room consisted a plasma TV, blu-ray, A/V receiver and Direct TV-sounds phenomenal!  Dat steered us to great speakers at a modest price.  Other companies were trying to sell us over the top equipment with prices that were way out of our budget.  DC Connections' proposal was very reasonable.

Mimi Chang-Portland,  Or.

Work was performed as expected, punctual and totally professional.  I could have not expected more.  Dat was GREAT!  Extremely detailed oriented.  I highly recommend to anyone and everyone.  A++

Lynn Dewilde-Portland, Or.

Take care.
Casey Schafer-West Linn, Or.

DC Connections installed a home theater system, flat screen TV, and HDMI cable box for me. He was polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and meticulous in his work. He had excellent communication - notifying me about precisely when he would arrive and being punctual. He showed respect for the home environment - taking care when moving furniture, setting items on furniture, and even removing his shoes to protect the floors. In addition, he patiently explained to me how to work my system. When I discovered that the cables I had weren't long enough, he returned at no charge on another day to install longer ones, providing me with a cable at a price much reduced from the one I'd bought at the store. I'm always a bit nervous about having strangers in my home, but Dat inspired tremendous trust. I highly recommend his services!

Amy Baker-Portland, Or.

"I would like to wholeheartedly recommend Dat Nguyen at DC Connections. He evaluated our current stereo system and honestly advised me on the shortcomings of our system, components that were broken and our options to replace and upgrade our amplifier. His service is impeccable. He responds to emails, provides complete, honest and detailed responses and information- along with competitive prices. He arrives on time for the job, with all necessary tools. He completes his work in a conscientious manner - clean, precise and thorough. And he is really a nice guy!"

Margaret Hinshaw-Portland, Or.

A sincere thank you from me and Joanne for the sound installation work you recently did in our home. You were prompt, professional, knowledgeable and thorough.

I was especially impressed with your initiative and persistence at tracking down information from the manufacturer of my amplifier. When you got incorrect advice from the factory rep., you figured out a way around it. All worked out well, thanks to you, not them.

You were attentive to the functionality of the equipment you installed, as well as to the appearance of the work done. You treated our home with the utmost respect.

You are clearly knowledgeable in your field. I will recommend you highly.

Thank you again for your fine work.

Darrell Beck, Ph.D., CMC-Portland, Or.

"DC Connections" exceeded our expectations in all aspects regarding the installation of our HDTV and surround sound system. From start to finish we received professional and courteous service as well as realistic expert advice. They were flexible with our schedule and completed the job at a very fair price as well as going the extra mile to make sure everything was done right (the first time) and to our satisfaction. We are amazed with our new entertainment system and would like to thank Mr. Nguyen and DC Connections for making it happen. Most of all weappreciate your pride of workmanship and integrity. Without a doubt, we will be recommending DC Connections to all our friends and family for their audio & video needs.

Sincerely,

Guy & Stephanie - SW Portland

If you are not electronic literate and you do not want to become electronic literate call DC Connections. Their installers will understand what you want even though you can not explain it and provide you with a firm quote and hassle free installation. They are always available to hold your hand through your learning curve with your new equipment. I am very pleased with their service and I would use them again in a heart beat!

Tom Fruechtel-Portland, Or.

We felt that the spaghetti of unfinished media wires in our walls along with mounting a heavy 52" flat screen over our fireplace was an overwhelming and daunting task. We took a shot at hiring DC Connections and we were pleasantly surprised at the efficient and professional job you did. We sincerely thank you for a job well done and we will be recommending DC Connections to our friends and family.
Sincerely,

Jean and Jacqueline-Portland, Or.

I've used the services of DC connections multiple times now and have beenmore than pleased with the results each time. Other than being a genuinely nice person, I found the installers to be thoughtful, professional and competent in his work. I found him accessible for questions, prompt with responses and veryhelpful with solutions and follow through. I am ultimately relieved to have DC connections in my corner because I know that the job will be done well and correctly the first time. I do not hesitate to recommend DC connections for your audio and video needs.

Eric Zimmer-Portland, Or.

You did a fantastic job. My comment would be if you want to do business with a person (company) that does what they say they are going to do, when they say they are going to do it, for a very fair price, and have your job site look better when they leave than when they arrived. Don't look any further.

Spike-Lake Oswego

Before I had you come over to my house I thought I had true surround sound, but realized through you that I had surround mess. Thanks to your hard work and professionalism we truely are very satisfied with our surround sound system. We had our house built in 1997 and had the some pre-wiring done for audio. For 10 years we had people try to tell us what to do with our set-up, until you came by where we successfully not only with our main set-up, but integrated a second zone. We have plans for a new construction add-on bonus room and would like for you to be an integral part. Not only did you give us the true quality in what we wanted, you mastered our Sony universal remote to control our electronics. We are very happy with our A/V system and look forward to entertianing any guests that come over to our home.

Thanks for the excellent work!!

Larry May-Portland, Oregon.

I have been constantly upgrading my audio and video setup at home. DC Connections provided very honest service and pricing along the way. They walked me through all possible options and make sure I have great quality sound and visual without pushing me into a product that I do not need. I have recommended and will continue to recommend DC connections to my friends, family and colleagues.

Matt Klinke-Portland, Oregon.

We want to thank you for the extremely professional service you provided us in installation of a HDTV system including the stand, all hookups, and advice on what we needed from our cable company. You suggested several TV sets and we selected Samsung HPR5052X which has given us a magnificent picture.

 

From our first contact, through our daughter Linda Slade, we have felt very confident dealing with you personally. You came to our house and explained the process step-by-step. Our questions about schedule and cost (which was much better than we would have done elsewhere) were answered in writing and we received the final product exactly as promised.

We are satisfied that selecting DC Connections as our contractor was the best decision we could have made. We hope you will use this recommendation as a reference to others considering DC Connections for their procurement and installation of a home entertainment center.

I've been using Phoenix Gold signal cables for ten years and they are absolutely magnificent at delivering brilliant and accurate sound with zero distortion.

I wanted to thank you for your help with Audio/Video installation in my new home. I appreciated your courteous service and flexibility with my schedule. From my past experience with A/V installations at my previous home in Scottsdale, AZ., I believe DC Connections offer an excellent value! Your service charges were very competitive and DC Connections took extra steps to make sure my new Yamaha A/V receiver and multi-room system would perform at its best. Also DC Connections was extremely competitive with A/V equipment (quality and price wise). I was very pleased to purchase very nice equipment that was delivered and set-up at prices that would be very difficult to match at retail! In sum it was a pleasure working with Mr. Nguyen and his team and I would highly recommend DC Connections!

After purchasing my new stereo equipment I needed to find a reliable company that I could turn to and help with the installation of the cables and the speakers. I called DC Connections and talked with the installer about setting up my Harmon Kardon System with my Definitive Technology speakers … Within hours I received a quote from DC Connections on the cost of the cables. The pricing was well below the other quotes that I got on the same Phoenix Gold cables, plus the information I got from the installer about the installation of the cables etc. was priceless … Within days I got the cables, and the system was thumping shortly after… I would highly recommend using DC Connections for any cable/ installation needs!!

DC Connections,
my wife and I love music, and once you hear a beautiful sounding stereo system, its very difficult to back up to anything less than perfect. You've now wired two homes for my wife and I, and we are absolutely delighted by the service and the sound, you and your crew deliver.

When we lived in Portland, you had a very difficult time routing wires through a 1926 Bungalow. Even though it took you a little longer than anticipated, you refused to take any more money from us to try and compensate you for the additional time. Your word and integrity go hand in hand; something that is rare in today's business world. You need to know how much it is appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago you and your partner wired a second home for us. Again, it was not easy with tiny crawl spaces and difficult room lines, yet you delivered again! And, once again the finished product turned out perfect. You were timely, efficient, and did everything you said you would do. What a breath of fresh air!! Overall our experience with you and your company has been terrific. I could recommend you to anyone in need of entertainment or sound system installations. No doubt, they would receive a sound or picture that would be second to none. Thanks again for all your work…and more importantly, your integrity.

Respectfully,

"DC Connections was professional from start to finish. From home theater design to pricing to installation, the job in my Southwest Portland home was handled on time and on budget. I would trust DC with any home entertainment project."

"DC Connections sure hooked me up!! The Phoenix Gold ZPMR4 bi-wire I got was top of the line. It looks and sounds great! Also, it was great value since I got it from DC at half the cost of the Monster Cable's Z bi-wire. DC Connections was lots of help and gave me great personal service. They got back to me on all my questions right away. DC Connections gives you great service and value and can customize your system the way you want."

I was in the market for my first full custom home entertainment system. After some exhausting research, I found DC Connections in Portland, OR. DC Connections came to my house and we sat down and went over just what exactly I was looking for in an entertainment system. I threw all kinds of wild ideas at them cause I knew I only wanted to do this install once. We went over every angle of the install for what I would need and what I would be purchasing or need in the near future. The "Future" part of the conversation was the most interesting. DC Connections thru some ideas in the mix that blew my mind of what I could do later on down the line once I saved up a few more dollars. I told him lets do it!! DC Connections was very friendly and understanding of my concerns and was very patient. Today, I have the most awesome full-blown Entertainment System that you would only find in some of the most expensive houses yet at easily 1/2 the cost. DC Connection's prices are very reasonable and affordable.

I recommend DC Connections to all people looking to do their Home Entertainment Systems.

Thanx DC Connections, Your WOW'd Customer,
