I belong to an electronic music email list and put out some feelers on where to go to find some cool music in Amsterdam. ian O wrote back and told me the following:
Amsterdam - great place for record shops - they let you listen before you buy - what an astonishing concept!
Boudisque - Haringpakkerssteeg 10-18 (near Central Station) http://www.boudisque.nl/
Concerto Records Ultrechtsestraat 54-60 http://www.concerto.nu/ [HUGE record store -
Classical, pop-rock, blues-jazz, ambient IDM sections]
Get Records Ultrechtsestraat 105 http://www.getrecords.nl/
Staalplaat Records Staalade 6 http://www.staalplaat.com/ (sometimes unpredictable hours - a must visit if you're keen on Muslimgauze)
Sounds like some fun for me. Plus I might even bring a load of my own CDs and see about putting a few in these stores. Actually, wise man say that it would be very wise for me to keep the energy going between now and when I fly out there to set up some moments of business between all the fun. Not only to further my music, but also so I can write off part of the trip as a business trip.

Good idea! Write off $2,000 in travel expenses for $500 in record sales. Got to love America!
