The record store that has be best "listening station" is HI-FI Haven in Whittier. They have a small selection of classical CDs, but they have two large listening rooms with expensive McIntosh HiFi systems. Take a stack of your favorite CDs to audition them on their very expensive equipment. See below for address and phone number.
SELL YOUR USED CDs, LPs, TAPEs, DVDs at Amoeba Music Hollywood. This is the best place to sell or trade in your CDs, LPs, TAPEs, and DVDs.
On the first Sunday of each month there is a record swap meet at Pasadena City College. On the last Sunday of each month there is a swap meet in Orange. Record Surplus, Rockaway, and Aron's Records have parking lot sales quarterly. See below for links to these stores and call them. Check out my audio hifi webpage for recommendations on the best equipment to hear your music to it's fullest potential.
Three cities seem to have high concentrations of record stores: Hollywood, Whittier, and Santa Monica. Many of the record stores in these cities are clustered within a few blocks. Before you go to one record store in one city, see this website for record stores that are close by on the way.
Many of these are "specialty" record shops that sell releases by major labels, small independent labels, audiophile labels, used CDs/records/tapes, and otherwise hard to find records. The top section lists Southern California shops and the second section lists internet stores. Before you go to any store, call first to verify location, open hours, parking locations, and types of music they sell. Use Yahoo to create a map for you so you can locate them.
For new CDs, Best Buy is the best retail CD chain for their low prices at their stores and at their internet site. Beweary of Best Buy though; they are buying up other record store chains and building up a monopoly - once they are a monopoly and have successfully driven chains like Tower Records out of business, you can sure bet they will raise their prices to list price. That's what monopolies do - underprice and drive out competition, then jack up the prices. Smoke CDs, Your Music, Amazon, are the best internet stores for their huge selection of hard to find imports. CD Now is now selling new vinyl at the lowest prices. The internet store with the lowest prices on used CDs is Half.com, owned by Ebay.com. You must remember that postage and handling can make the prices of internet ordering higher than buying from a store with the exception of Best Buy which has free shipping. Once one store dominates a market by underpricing and driving their competitors out of business, that one store will jack up their prices. Amoeba Music in Hollywood is a used CD superstore, but I've noticed they're already raising their prices. For the first month, Amoeba Music was charging $6-$7 for used CDs, now the prices have gradually creeped to $10+ for used CDs. Pay $1-2 more and support small business, mom & pop, local indie, community based stores. I do not want any one single store to dominate the entire market for indie music, used music, or mainstream pop music.
A lot of record labels are "remastering" their old catalog albums, repackaging them, and re-releasing them as if they were new albums at new full list prices. Their "remastering" does not usually mean the labels are using higher fidelity remastering technologies such as JVC-XRCD or HDCD, it usually means they are remastering their recordings to become "hotter" or sound louder. The "remastered" reissues sound louder, but they are more compressed and are decreased in dynamic range, as compared to the previous releases. It would be nice if the record labels would remaster their catalog releases with JVC-XRCD or HDCD technology, but right now they're ruining their catalogs by making them sound as "hot" as rap music albums. The labels are tricking their customers into re-buying albums by vaguely promising that the remastered reissues will have better sound quality. Read this article: Music Into Noise: The Destructive Use Of Dynamic Range Compression.

8455 Beverly Boulevard #500, West Hollywood, CA 90048, (323)655-4116
AIX Records is producing NEW recordings of world class musicians performing music in a variety of genres. Its the sound of acoustic instruments performing dynamic music as an ensemble that makes recordings done at 96 kHz/24 Bits worth the time, trouble and expense. These DVDs sound better than most of the major label releases because they were created specifcally for this format. Most DVD-Audio discs started life as low resolution analog or digital recordings and were only made into 96 kHz/24 Bits at the final stage of the production process. Check it out and see if you don't agree.
