Frustration

Yeah ive had plenty of stuff from decks via the internet shop.
Must say thet do have stuff in stock if you buy online unlike HTFR.

got my vci from hfr, because the xp5's and mixer i wanted were out of stock

some of the vinyl shops around here carry decks/needles/etc.. not sure about over there though, worth a shot!

In the northeast US i have found the selection of actual retailers pretty bleak as well. This is happening in a lot of areas though, even here in the northeast where skiing and snowboarding are huge, most of the shops are going out of business due to not being able to compete with massive online retailers.

I live near Wash DC, and our options are pretty limited... usually go to the Guitar Store to check out and play with stuff... then find it online, almost always a whole lot cheaper. Some of the Best Buys in our area have a limited selection of stuff in their new "Music Department" or whatever it is called... but same thing, play with it there, find it cheaper online.
