Stinkweeds Record Exchange is a great place to shop - various locations throughout Phoenix. Local owner, very involved in the community, great selection and prices are mostly reasonable. Check them out!
btw, Dan over at AZ Tube Audio in Tempe stocks a lot of Audiophile vinyl.
If you can go down to Tucson, PDQ has always been a great store (520) 881-2681
If you go down to Tucson look for the big building advertising "stun guns" for sale.I kid you not.When you walk in you are awestruck by the immensity of the stock.This is one of the largest record stores anywhere. When you start looking you think you were hit by one of those stun guns,now i know where old records go to die.Price vs. condition vs. whatever,these records are all seriously overpriced and look like they have been sitting in the bins forever,serious bin fatigue.I browsed the entire Jazz section-thousands of records and did not find ONE record! The Classical section is huge,and most records fairly priced elsewhere at a few dollars would be 3 to 4 times that.One thing these record dealers missed is condition determines value and a beat up record is worthless at almost any price,unless it is extremely rare.I did buy one amazing Russian Melodiya the clerk was playing in the store,and the surrounding desert is stunning -some kind of cactus national park that leads to an animal sanctuary.Now that is worth the trip.I was warned off Stinkweeds for used records and did not make it to AZ tube audio,but will on my next visit and i will drive that hour to visit the desert in Tucson,but PDQ is a graveyard!
Thanks for the suggestions- I am going on a hunt tomorrow for vinyl with my wife for my birthday fun!
