Just found another great LP place for unopened out of print stock. LPNOW.com
amazing. i've been buying these records opened on ebay for more than they sell them here.
definitely worth a look. they also sell tapes.

Jeff! Jeff!! What are you doing?? I have dealt with Jeffs Sound Values and they are awesome, Jeff is great as is the rest of the staff. Prices for their used equip is right at the market level and very fair, no gauging there. I am local to San Deigo and have been to see Jeff a number of times. Since Jeff moved to the new fancy digs, and started being a "dealer" for various brands, I am becoming afraid! Don't do it!!! Jeff has the most used stuff around and I hope he doesn't sell out like everyone else has!

I'd recommend Hawthorne Stereo here in Seattle for used gear. They're very straight-up guys who specialize in high quality used gear in addition to their favorite Naim new stuff. You'll see their auctions on ebay sometimes but I'd recommend giving them a call directly or going to their site, http://www.hawthornestereo.com/. They've been around for more than 50 years and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It's a real treat to be able to go into a store that has hundreds and hundreds of interesting pieces of used equipment, it's a very different experience from the limited stock at most new-only stores.
