Where do you buy your discs?

It seems that the discs are harder and harder to find.

The regular B&M stores really don't carry them, at least not in a separate section, and those mixed in with the regular discs are few and far between.

The amazons of the world seem to be super expensive.

Where else?

The internet. I just purchased three from Coconuts.com with a gift certificate I received. You can scroll through both SACD and DVD-A titles separately at this site.

There are others such as Acoustic Sounds, Barnes & Nobel, and even Amazon.

I also live within about an hour of about five Best Buys. The one in Freehold, NJ, still had a pretty healthy section of a hundred or so titles, while some of the others had already mixed whatever few they had in with their regular CD's. So I guess it's prettty much hit or miss...

I live in the Houston, TX area and we have 2 Fry's electronics stores. The one I usually shop has a huge selection of dts/DVD-A and SACD titles--they even try to separate them by 2 aisles, but I don't think the stockers realize the differences, b/c they are all mixed together in both sections. Every time I go in there are more, particularly the older titles jazz titles from the 50's and classical/orchestral. Country music is becoming a larger proportion of the discs available, too, but the newer rock doesn't seem to be making much of a presence yet. At one time I could keep up with the new releases; now, I just stand there and take hours deciding which I can purchase and which I have to put on the "wish list"

.

Try Fry's Electronics for a change if you want to shop the B&M's.

I go to sa-cd.net and follow the conveniently provided links to Amazon. Thankfully, sa-cd.net does the research to find the proper links. In the past, I've had a difficult time finding sacd releases via Amazon's search function.

After you've gone to the Amazon page, you can usually find a used copy from a Marketplace seller for a good price.

We should consolidate all the links and get it stickied!

Here are 2 sites i've used:

www.cduniverse.com

www.elusivedisc.com

I've found that Music Direct (out of Chicago I believe) has a very good selection and very good service. They are not a discount house but their prices are reasonable and their selection is very good indeed.
