Just a brief list of my haunts when searching for vinyl. I figure the Carolina folks are familiar with most.
Roanoke, VA-The Vintage Vault
Salem VA-Uptown Audio
Winston Salem, NC-Earshot & Underdog
Jamestown, NC-Vintage Audio Exchange
Greensboro, NC-Buffalo Boogie & Hippo
Hippo is the cream of the crop out of all the record shops I visit. Earshot is second. Vintage Audio Exchange is a GREAT place to find vintage equipment and older vinyl.
