So I was playing some vinyl last night and was wondering where you guys buy your vinyl?

Everything I have purchased recently is used but wanted to know if you guys buy new and where?

I use a Music Hall MMF 5.1 for listening and have another table (ION) from a friend that I use for transferring Vinyl to MP3.

    Goodwill can be a great source. There is also a shop here in town that is getting out of the vinyl business, but most of their inventory is crap. I did score a couple Beatles lps there yesterday however....

    And the prices are good.... AND it all benefits charity. Rather than hitting Goodwill every day to see if they have anything new, I prefer to sit my lazy duff in my computer chair and browse his ever-changing selection.
    Ludicrous gibs!

    I would too, but for some reason I am on his naughty list.

    I always start with Geroge first!! His "pristine" rating is excellent, and the proceeds go to a good cause.

    Garage sales are ok but can be hit or miss.

    Thanks, I was kinda talking about new stuff.

    I asked cause my Google search turned up some stuff that seemed shady. I figured you guys would know a few good joints.

    I will be checking out all of your suggestions.

    Thanks fellas,

    I buy a few things new or at 1/2 price, but mostly when I want new vinyl I put up ads on craigslist stating that I'm buying record collections, then wait for the emails to roll in. Even after sorting through what I consider to be junk, I usually pay around a buck or so per album. And it's a great way to run across things I'd either forgotten about, or never heard of, or whatever.
    Turntable: Empire 208
    Arm: Rega 300
    Cart: Shelter 501 III
    Phono Pre: Aural Thrills
    Digital: Pioneer DV-79ai
    Pre: Conrad Johnson ET3 SE
    Amp: Conrad Johnson Evolution 2000
    Cables: Cardas Neutral Reference
    Speakers: SDA 2.3TL, heavily modified

    Its so cool when you find some old obscure thing that really floats your boat. At $1 per LP I've bought tons of completely unknown music. I usually hit on a couple really good ones for every 25 I buy.

    George is the man for any Club Polk vinyl fan.

    Joe you should know that every dime goes to a wondeful place called the Githens Center for children. You get great vinyl and get to do something for them, best win/win I ever had.

    Since I'm just sticking my toes back into the vinyl pool it's garage sales and flea markets.
