They have two entire rooms packed wall-to-wall with an unbelievable selection, from individual cars to full, hard-to-find sets. There is genuinely something here for everyone, whether you're a serious collector hunting down a specific piece or just browsing for fun. ​Kenny provides top-notch customer service. He's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and more than happy to help you hunt down whatever you're looking for or chat about the collection. ​Pro Tip: The walkway leading into the main rooms can get a bit tight when the shop is busy, so just take your time navigating through. ​Overall, it's an incredible spot run by someone who truly cares about the hobby. Highly recommended, I'll definitely be back!

This store has all kinds of unique and fun gift items: T-shirts (cat, movies, music, cartoons,…read moreetc.) and other vintage clothes, jewelry, purses, books, toys, collectibles, cards, kitchen and tea towels, and socks, among others. The woman who works there, who I think is also the owner, is very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. I am knocking a couple of stars off though because I found the clothing merchandise to be expensive for the quality of a few of the vintage items. One of the shirts I bought I found had a hole in the sleeve when I got home to wrap it, and I would have preferred to have known it had a hole before I'd bought it at the price I did, even marked down. One shirt was stained in back, which she nicely let me exchange later. Another had a fabric that split apart when I washed it in gentle cycle. It said hand wash, but gentle cycle is usually fine for those. I recommend looking closely at all vintage clothing you buy there as it's also not supposed to be returnable. There is a good selection of T-shirts, but make sure you know what you're getting before you leave.

Yes, it is recommended to make an appointment. But this isn't like dropping by local electronics big box store. If you're in the market for the type of equipment Brian sells, audition appointments are very much the norm. And, it's not like its a pain to set up the appointment. Brian was super responsive in our communications. I've been to many audiophile shops throughout my 20+ years in the hobby. Brian, runs one of the best. It's a relatively small shop and just runs it himself, so he doesn't carry a ton of options. But the main reason for that is that he has carefully curated a list of offerings he know will make you a happy based on his decades of experience in the industry. I'm pretty confident I would be happy with just about anything he sells out of his store. He's super approachable and isn't belittling or snobby like many audiophile sales people tend to be - he actually makes it fun to shop for audiophile equipment. He's also very patient and not pushy at all. Just a great experience. Super happy I made the trip down to Austin to visit Brian's shop and will definitely be spending my audiophile budget with Brian from now on.
