This isn’t related to any specific piece of equipment but maybe we could all post where the best places in our Town/City to buy are.
I’m from Toronto and I find that Long & McQuade and Steves are the best. I’ll be in New York in a couple of weeks and I was wondering where a good place to buy in the big apple is.
The best store in Germany is www.thomann.de .
Every music store I was in was expensive in comparison, the only way to get instruments cheaper may be in a store that sells used instruments.
Thomann also got nearly everything and there are often useful informations about what you buy and it lists articles about this and that, so you can inform yourself about what you buy.
In the US:
I’ve scored many great deals via http://audiomidi.com
korg legacy analog collection with the limited edition ms-20 controller.
traktor scratch upgrade
behringer ultramatch pro interface
agiprodj.com for the deals zzounds.com is very reliable, they ship asap (more than I can say for gc), and are usually my first stop
guitar center, but only if I’m actually going to a physical store and already have an opinion about what I need
