Good site for hard to find classical used and new

Best yet is GEMM.com They are an aggregator of many music retail sites, you can find A-Z of any music in the world. I've seen some classical vinyl that was extremely rare, at a fair price. This is a great site for vinyl fans. The new disc's are 25% more than your average retail shop. But I did find some used classical disc's,at a fair price, that I could not locate anywhere else. Really suprised me.

Choices are good, if you must have something. But a "fair" prices? Give me a break. Stick with Naxos. By you, $10,000 amp is probably a bargain!

Yes GEMM on new are expensive, but the out of print(cd's) prices are reasonable if its a "must-have" recording, as well some vinyl are low priced.(maybe condition??) But my main source of classical is Tower, for the wonderful offering of the 1 minute "taste" of what to expect, helps me immensely in the choosing!

Not sure if anyone has tried www.mymusic.com, based in Ottawa, Canada.

Prices are competitive, selection is quite good -- yes they have that aforementioned Kogan/Beethoven CD -- I usually don't have any problems finding what I want (BIS, Chandos, Hyperion, etc)

Good luck :)

Slightly off topic, but Jax2, if you like Leonid Kogan, do everything in your power to acquire his 1950 recording of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto on Arlecchino. Sound is less than optimal (quite listenable though) but the performance is simply second to none. Only Heifetz on Pearl comes close.
