    None that I know of.....use to have a Tower Records right there but closed many moons ago. Only one I'm familiar with is in Antioch. One in Mchenry too.

    This site seems to list many more though....

    The shop in Antioch that mentioned is "Track One Vintage Stereo" on North Street. Lots of vintage records and stereo equipment, which Dave repairs and sells. I live close by in Grayslake, so its one of my regular stops. Audio Consultants in Libertyville also sell used records.

    Hey, why are you out shopping?!

    You should be working on that MF A308 review! :)

    H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.

    I guess because I live in Bolingbrook and now have to drive to Schaumburg daily, my "local" area just got a lot wider LOL.
