San Francisco/Berkeley is a lot more perfect. Perhaps I was spoiled when I lived up there but I never had any problem finding things. It is just very surprising that such an enormous city has so few places to buy good music. For the person who was fervently defending Aron's (there's only one A in Aron's, by the way), I may still think it was a decent record store if not for the fact that it was once a great record store-- now the prices are higher than the Virgin Megastore and they only get one or two copies of each IDM release-- not nearly enough for the number of people who are seeking them out. Yes, I find stuff there sometimes but it is always weeks after the release. I have yet to find Cylob there or anywhere else in LA. You must have already purchased the one copy they ordered.
