Where do you buy your vinyl?

New vinyl from Music Direct, Acoustic Sounds, Tone Poet, etc.

Used vinyl from vendors that appear annually at the Capital Audio Fest, where I can personally inspect the LP before purchase.  Never from eBay unless I am "feeling lucky".  Or when I am in Tokyo visiting our son.  The major LP and CD stores in Tokyo are 100% honorable and the one I use, Disc Union, has a grading system.  Their A grade used LPs are like new; no need even to inspect them.  B grade are likewise usually impeccable, but I do look at them before purchase. Prices were high in Tokyo last time I was there, a year before the pandemic. I thought it odd that some LPs that would be cheap here are expensive there, and vice-versa.  Like Julie London or Chris Connor for $25 seemed high.

Getting records in Tokyo, now that's stylish. Disc Union, I'll remember, thank you.

EBay and Discogs! I am not afraid to pay less for a VG LP. These often sound as good as those selling for 2 or 3 times the price! Winning eBay auctions can be tricky! My best recent auction score was a German Atlantic pressing of Led Zeppelin 1 for $23.50 + $5 shipping and 7% sales tax, so about $29. Excellent condition for a 50+ year old LP - the cover had some damage.

All good suggestions. Another source can be a record label itself, if their artist roster is to your liking. Sign up for email notifications of new releases and label-wide sales, and of course order enough to qualify for free shipping if offered.

I'm signed up with all the audiophile online dealers for reissues (Acoustic Sounds and Speakers Corner two particular favorites), plus a number of labels whose new releases/artist roster are of musical interest to me (New West, Rep Roc, Acony).
