might wanna down a couple of sub-forums and ask around in your sectional area.....

play de is your best bet.

Nice to see people still starting out buying dex & vinyl
Can't comment on where to shop in Toronto, but for online shops I tend to use juno.co.uk
Enjoy!

Sorry dude, but you might as well just start buying online. Depending what sorta music you wanna spin, the selection is almost as miniscule as the amount of record stores themselves.

And yes, it's very good to see you starting on turntables too

Play De is probably your best bet, but they seem to have removed their 'techno' sections and simply absorbed it into their house stuff, so you may need to do some extra digging around to find what your looking for.

And, the minimal they do get in seems to get sold fast and they have a hard time keeping it in stock.

gone.
the shop is still there but the last time i was in it they were selling off their techno/house stock.

thanks everyone for the suggestions, i was at play de on the weekend for a hour digging its a little unorganized so guess its back there on Saturday for a serious digging session.

about the turneys I had to start with them thats what ive always wanted, never gotten behind the Cdj thing not that theres anything wrong with them I just love the feel of vinyl and the warmth of the sound.

You should check out Play de Record Vintage. You can buy used records there and they may be a little outdated, but you can find some really good stuff there if you dig dip. It's across the street from the regular Play de Record store. You can ask them, and they will point you in the right direction. I think it's still open. But, it's a great deal. I got like 5 or 6 records there for $15.
