1. Try your public library (I presume you have one where you live) for both classical music guides, which you can probably check out and read to see whether you respond to the recommendations and style of the writer/editor, AND for CDs. Here in San Antonio, the main library has a large media room of CDs, videos, etc., most of which can be checked out for a week (limit is 5 per person at a time). Even smaller branch libraries have CD collections with several hundred CDs in them, and they all have classical sections. True, your selection may be limited, but you can sample the music for free! Also, in the realm of printed guidebooks, my library has a couple editions of the Penguins, the "Good CD" guide, the new classical guide by Morin, and at least two or three others. In fact, they have multiple copies of some of these--some on the checkout shelves and some on the reference ("does not circulate") shelves.2. Check your area for used CD stores. Here in Texas, Wherehouse (nationwide chain) and CD Exchange (regional chain) have multiple locations. Wherehouse carries both new and used, but are rapidly building their used inventory so that it far outstrips new in some locations. With only a few exceptions, CD Exchange is all used stuff. Both places have CD players with headphones available for customers to sample any open CD--which included virtually all used merchandise.
Hope this helps.
Happy hunting and happy spinning.
