Just recently moved back to Houston and am off to find some record shops, so far Vinal Edge looks nice but curious if any Polkers are in Houston and knows of some nice places to buy vinyl.

    These are great guys, about 3 miles from the house. they are supporters of "Record Days" but hold onto your wallet they have nice gear too, easy to hang out in the listening rooms...grab a gander of what Dynaudio is all about.

    Black Dog records
    Cactus records
    Heights Vinyl
    Vinal Edge
    Half price books
    I haven't been to Sweet spot yet will have to check that out. A few not listed are just smoke shops that claim to have vvinyl. Traders village is ok but you have to be careful with your selections. Cactus has the best selection on recordstoreday. Heights vinyl and Blackdog are my top picks here in Houston.
