Is the Vinyl Revival well and growing?

My current favorite is just across the river from you in St Johns - Vinyl Resting Place, great stock of folk and allied music and dirt cheap prices  ... but maybe I should keep quiet and save all the good stuff for me 😉

Thanks ff, I’ll check them out too. I had all my regular places in L.A. to find LP’s: Record Surplus, Atomic (only a couple of blocks from my house in Burbank. They have a VPI HW-16 RCM), Amoeba, a bunch of others (as well as thrift stores, etc.). I haven’t explored Portland much yet, but I already know it’s an LP kinda town. Every time I go into Music Millennium, more of it’s floor is devoted to LP’s, less to CD’s. I still buy CD’s, but they can be had on Amazon for real cheap. I prefer, if possible, to buy LP’s in a storefront.

Happy to read that the Pacific Northwest is still a great area for vinyl. I lived in Juneau, AK (1989-1993) I am told, there was a record shop that specialized in Audiophile Vinyl in Juneau. I believe it. I cleaned up All the MoFi (JVC) vinyl that I could afford, UHQRs, Nautilus, CBS Master sound, Japanese, that I could find. Put a flyer on poster boards around town and got to pillage private collections, Two (2) Record Fairs at the Mall in two different years and (2) used record dealers in town. Juneau is a transient town. People come with everything when they move there. They leave a lot behind. ( Greatest 

What are return policies like in stores that sell used vinyl? I'm sure it varies but it seems like a liberal return policy would make for a more robust used market.

I have 3 used record stores nearby. One is a High end dealer who has a nice selection. They also let me demo the records before purchasing. Many times they let me use the big room which has a $250,000 system. I have to laugh here I am w/a stack of used LP's worth about $7 each and I'm listening on a mega priced system. They've also cleaned some records after purchase for free.
