OK. I just bought a new sub after reading numerous threads here about how multiple subs can improve the sound of the bass in your room. Frantz was instrumental in pushing me to start down this path. Anyway Frantz recommended a Lyle Lovett CD to buy in order to help dial in the new sub. I braved the snow today and drove to the "big" city of Bloomington, IN to find said CD. My frist stop was SAMs Club as I had to go there anyway. SAMs used to have a decent CD collection. No more. They only have a few to choose from. Next I drove to K-Mart which used to have huge amounts of CDs. Aside from the interesting mass of humanity that was there, they hardly had any CDs and no Lyle Lovett. Next I drove to my local record store that I normally only buy LPs from. Although they had more CDs than either SAMs or K-Mart, they have far more vinyl. Again, no Lyle Lovett. I thought this was going to be a simple task and it turned out not to be so. I ended up ordering the CD from Amazon. I did check for downloads, but couldn't find anything besides MP3s and I refuse to buy those.
Which leads me to my point: Are big box stores giving up on allocating space to sell CDs because they just aren't selling very well due to downloads? Maybe Best Buy or Target would have had it, but I lost my confidence after 3 stops. Maybe this has been going on for awhile and I just haven't recognized it because I hardly ever shop for CDs. Any thoughts?
