| - It was a Saturday afternoon, and I had just finished setting up another new turntable that I had just purchased.
I wanted a top notch vinyl recording of female vocals that I was familiar with to test the new setup. Norah Jones was one of my first choices. Her voice is so smooth, and the I have several of her albums already on SACD. But, nothing beats top-notch analog in my opinion; therefore, I proceeded to call around town to see who had two of her best known albums.
No other record store in town, except for the 'In' Groove had her stuff.
However, the person at the store informed me that they close at 5PM (they are now open later on Fridays and Saturdays). No problem. An hour is plenty of time to drive across town on a Saturday, and pick up my vinyl.
When I arrived, the clerk was inspecting and arranging some new records.
However, from the moment I walked in, she knew that I was the person on the phone that inquired about Norah Jones' albums.
After grabbing those right off the bat, I spent some time perusing their inventory.
I was quite impressed with their audiophile selection. Lots of MFSL and Telarc audiophile Jazz and Classical vinyl; as well as, 180 gram vinyl pressings for the diehards!
I struck gold, and I was in heaven at the same time! :)
Needless to say, I spent a tidy sum that afternoon picking up more records to play on my new turntable.
Their vast selection, and the quality of their vinyl (pristine as far as I am concerned) has me coming back here time and time again. I have yet to be disappointed with any of my purchases, and they have done a good job refreshing and procuring vinyl masterpieces.
I have been to ALL the records stores in the valley in search of various musical genres of Audiophile Vinyl, and I have never had to look too far beyond this place.
And if you are looking to get into vinyl, they also have a nice selection of entry level and mid-level turntables to suit most budgets.
