I can second all that Kent said below about the Record Collector. I've been buying records there for about ten years. Scott Stone is an employee there and fellow 313er. He is also their webgenius. He's extremely knowledgeable about all things in the world of German house and techno. Vince Woolums also used to be on 313, and he manages the store. Vince and I grew up together musically, and he's an authority on all sorts of stuff. Both Scott and Vince know all about Detroit and Chicago stuff too. Basically they get it all, listen to it all and can even make excellent recommendations once they get to know your taste.
Also, the owner Kirk Walther is into a little of everything, and may be able to help you with your IDMish want lists. It's really cool to see the website take off, because I've been shopping there since there were only two bins of dance music. Now it takes up at least half the store.
