Cheapest places to buy gear?

Thanks Danny.
J/k

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.

I guess I start things off: I was searching for Sennheiser hd600 headphones and the prices varied widely. Hififorless.com had them the cheapest by a long shot at 280. I've seen people selling them used for 280, 290! Anyway, dont know about their other prices but if you're looking for a set of great cans this could be your place. good luck

slingshot I actually agree with you in principle. i rent videos from the local place even though they are due the next day (which i never seem to make) and are more expensive than the blockbuster directly across the street which allows - i dunno, 5 days or somethign?. didn't mean to seem like i was putting you down.
peace

Slingshot, i've read the stuff about commission but this thread has nothing to do with it. i'm not suggesting you go to a dealer, milk him for info and then buy elsewhere. if i already know i want a grado sonata for my alphason arm because of my own extensive research why would i drive 45 minutes to a dealer i dont even know when i can order it off the net for $125 less? you're right, you are on a soapbox but i'm glad you at least realize it.

you know how it is, clpams. if i dont get good prices on all this crap i keep buying i'll have to stop and then what will i do?? i'm just trying to rack up a good list of decent places to buy all kinds of equipment - not just for right now but down the line. but since you asked, at the moment i'm looking for a grado sonata and an arc vt100mkII.
thanks everyone! i've already contacted some of the guys from your suggestions.

Oh yeah, www.amusicdirect.com has great cds and LPs. you can search for 180gram vinyl and gold or jvc cds. they even have some mfsl. the prices here on audiophile LPs are lower than the same used stuff goes for on ebay. ALSO if you're looking for good 180g LPs check out simplyvinyl.com instead of buying the same stuff on ebay used for the same price or more! I've also recently discovered www.cdpricecompare.com which allows you to type in a piece of music and get the cheapest prices (although from a select listing of online stores). Come to think of it, i ordered something through a store they recommended about 3 months ago and still haven't received it. that one might be a 'nevermind.' sometimes going cheap can be expensive.
