Borders has really reduced the number of CD's they carry in the store so I have been forced to order from Amazon and occasionally Amazon UK.

I get Amazon boxes two to three times a week. The Amazon Prime shipping program is great. Vinyl too!

The usual big box stores; Barnes and Noble and FYE - big edge to FYE over B&N
Online - Second Spin, CD Universe, Deep Discount, Amazon - Good deals on used cd's at second spin

I am so fortunate to have 3 local old fashioned record stores within 15-20 miles. It's nice to blow a rainy afternoon and a couple hundred bucks browsing, buying, and coming home to listen.

Cutlers Records - Downtown New Haven CT in the heart of Yale. All genres new and used but they've gotta have the biggest classical collection on earth (or close to it)
Cutler's

Merles Record Rack - Orange CT - Used CD's and vinyl - Lotta clasic rock
Rare CDs, Vinyl Records, LPs, Albums - Music Store in Connecticut

Gerosa Records - Brookfield CT - I LOVE this place - Rock, jazz, new used, vinyl, cd, great inventory. Just picked up Peter Paul and Mary 10 Years Together and Little Feat Hoy Hoy in a quick stop during lunchtime.
Gerosa Records - Home

Please try to buy something from these folks to keep them going. They'll get and ship anything for you.

Thanks for the info. Think Cutler's had another store in the Hamden Plaza back in the late 60's and early 70's.

I have been to Cutlers and Merles many times. I find that Cutlers LP's seem to be in better shape then Merles. Never been to the place in Brookfield. That would be a road trip from my house.

On line I get most of my CD's from Amazon, most of them I get used, and I have only had one CD I had to return out of the tons of them I have purchased.
