I buy all used CDs on eBay. It usually ends up being from declutter. Low prices, low or no shipping, fast delivery. I research via the DR database first to at least rule out the bad/compressed recordings. Most 'remastered' CDs are worse than the originals, sometimes waaaaaaaay worse.
I buy new CDs, usually only new artists, from Amazon. They almost universally cost too much and are almost universally DR compressed. I know this going in and a lot of what drives buying it is to support a new band. Not sure how much they get per CD. Maybe nothing.
I just got a SACD player. Not sure I'm going to go down that path unless it is something really special.
