Washington DC vinyl report

Posted by MillHouse1835@aol.com (A) on June 25, 2012 at 05:37:02

My trip to DC was nice and non-partisan. Enjoyed the whole experience. I got to see the Stradivarius violin display at the Smithsonian. I did make it to 2 used book stores on Dupont circle (behind the CVS). One had a great classical CD section albeit not in the best alphabetical order.
*Also, drove out to Manassas, VA to the McKay's used book store. Nice large vinyl section but 99.9% rock and pop. Classical CD's were decent for a store this size. Also went to Gifted Listener in Centerville, VA and talked briefly with the owner. He had a nice vinyl "slant" to his store and a MOST wonderful sounding system using Linn electronics with the option of vinyl source. Nice store. Maggie Dealer but alas, not one single pair on demo (except for the mini). Disappointing.
*Bottom line---kids today are listening to their Iphones on the metro. I rode from Vienna, VA to downtown everyday and almost everyone was fiddling with smart phones with earphones.
Bought a few LP's (a mint Brucker 4th) and about a dozen CD's. I'm VERY fortunate here in upstate SC to have 4 nearby ultra-super-dooper vinyl stores that have a nice classical selection in alphabetical order. One even has a classical "room".
