There's a place in my town like that. Not quite as large, but he must have at least 30,000 - 40,000 used Lp's (I'm guessing here). All his stock is in the basement and it's a real grungy place. But over the years I've picked up several $3-$5 gems and I still go in from time to time. And when I do, I usually spend several hours browsing. Nothing better on a Saturday morning, with a fresh coffee in hand, and wax nostalgic!

Hah! I lived in Pittsburgh from 1986-89, within walking distance of Jerry's, when it was a little hole-in-the-wall storefront, open only a few hours a day! Those were the days of Wayne Greene's CD Review mag, and a fellow "audiophile neophyte" and I used to browse the incoming boxes at Jerry's for great finds. I left Pittsburgh in 1989, and assumed that Jerry's was long-gone! What a pleasant surprise to read that Jerry's is alive and well! You made my day!

About The Audiophiliac

Ex movie theater projectionist Steve Guttenberg has more or less successfully hitched his future to home theater, but he still pines for the clickity-clack of 35 MM projectors and all the stale popcorn he could eat. Between projectionist gigs he worked as a high-end audio salesman for sixteen years, and produced records for an audiophile label. Oh, and one more thing, nothing annoys Steve more than being confused with the other Steve Guttenberg, the washed-up Police Academy actor. The wordsmith Guttenberg is a frequent contributor to a number of magazines and websites including Home Entertainment, Playback, and Ultimate AV. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET. Disclosure.
