Not only the best selection in Madison, but also the most knowlegable employees. Any CD that you can't find anywhere else can be found at B-side already in stock. This is the kind of store that you want to support by shopping there. They also have a good new LP selection. Must Visit!

I like the exclusive company because you can get a good deal on a large selection of cds without going to best buy. I find that there really aren't so many of this type of store out there where you can find a random cd that you don't think anyone else will have, and here it is. I've found that a few of the ones that I've been looking for aren't exactly cheap, but that may be because I think cds are expensive in general. This is a good store overall for price and selection.

It's hard to find a really good CD store in the Madison area. Especially near campus. Strictly Discs is the best I've found. They have a lot of the music I'm into, which often times falls under the indie rock category. It's hard to find indie music at, say, Best Buy.
It's a cozy store on Monroe St. with an attractive sign to draw you in.
Another plus is if you go onto their website : www.strictlydiscs.com you can see what the staff tops pics are for the year. Given the fact that the staff and I have similar musical interests, I enjoy this resource.

The Happy Medium is a really great store. Their employees know what is going on. If you're looking for speakers this is a good place to check out. They have a lot of high-end stuff but they also have some good sales. It can be a good place to get nice stereo components at a bargain if you go there at the right time.

If you're in the campus area, you really should check out Ear Wax. It is a pretty small store but it has a really good vibe and really good tunes. If you are looking for something rare or hard to find, you have a good shot at this store of finding it. Cool people running the place too.

We have bought some furniture at the Rubin's clearance center and prices are cheaper and some times (if you're lucky) can find good stuff.
We also bought our bedroom set at Rubin's downtown store and it was a good purchase I think.
So, I think Rubin's is a better option than the other average stores (Ashley furniture, Stanhafeals, American, etc) and the price is sometimes about the same for a better quality than the average and better design. But obviously you have to shop around and compare before to buy.

a specialty store speifically catering to fans of high end stereos, Paragon video and Stereo has everything you could want and more. By shopping at Paragon, you are giving back to the local monroe neighborhood, because the owner is a community member, and puts the money his store earns back into the community. Excellent store!

The Orpheum is located in State Street and has recently gone through a major rehab. You can now get more than the usual movie experience. They serve beer and wine and excellent food. The historical integrity of the theater has been maintained but the sound and picture have been updated. This is a key site for the Madison Film Festival. They have excellent midnight movie specials and in general, have an excellent selection of arthouse and indie films. The theater also serves as a music venue and boasts excellent acoustics.

This store is pretty much what you'd expect: large selection of electronics at somewhat reasonable prices. There is pretty much everything you'd need electronics wise here, and they specialize in Televisions. So if you are shopping for a Television, you might want to make a stop at American TV. They also have an ok selection of furniture. Yep.

My sister plays oboe and we found that madison music is awesome because it is a one stop shop for all of your music needs. You can get an oboe tip for her and sheet music for her as well. I can pick up new strings for my guitar or check out the latest tabs on that new song I've been meaning to check out.
