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.
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.

Amazon.ca : Free shipping; right to the door; prices and selection as good as anything in the Western Hemisphere. Some stocking issues, but overall hard to beat it.

With the exception of Music Direct, the above pretty much sums up where I'm currently doing most of my buying. There are a couple of small record shops in town that fill out my list.

Borders. But they recently removed all their headphones, which was half the fun, hearing some old tracks that you forgot about from the past. As Stillone said in his prior post, Inventory has really gone down.

Amazon gets the lion's share of my CD purchases.

Almost all of my CDs for the past 5 years have come from eBay. Most of my American-pressed discs have been replaced with Japanese 1st press and mini-LP CDs, gold audiophile CDs, and some aluminum audiophile and import CDs.
