Hello Nightfox!

Yes.. originally on-line.  But now, he's opened up a storefront  
for walk-ins inaddition to maintaining an online channel that  
most other storefronts have as well.

I see that Resolute has embraced Shopify to get online. That  
starts at $50/mo + they take up to 4% of the credit card  
processing fee on a sale.

The vinyl-flattening service is probably a nice add-on to the  
biz. Having encountered a few warped LPs myself, I could  
certainly see that a $20 session might be worth it for a  
scarce/favorite record.

Still, the $40+ prices of NEW vinyl and the market of people  
who would expend such money for an LP mystifies me - especially  
if the same recording can be had for $20 or less as a CD.

A CD clearly has more dynamic range, no clicks/pops, no need to  
flip the media around, and multiple pieces can be queued to  
play in any order.
