THE SETUP I wasn't expecting to buy anything today, but was totally down for perusing through the stacks of classic vinyl records! A FIND NONETHELESS! But besides TONS of great vinyl records, I *zoned* in on a record-play duster cover (for the turntable) in the image of Pink Floyd's classic prism album cover for only $16! So I snapped it up! THE LOWDOWN A great place to peruse the stacks of records and other knick-knacks and possibly find something you will enjoy and use!

In regards to the recent 2026 RSD complaint towards the store. There are rules set-up beforehand to…read moremake sure it can be an enjoyable day for all, not just for one individual. Augie tries his best to provide that and implemented a new system this year to try and make it a better experience. It seems this individual was not happy because it did not benefit them. If the rules were confusing or not clear, customers are generally encouraged to call and ask questions. Also, when leaving a complaint, what nesscessity is it to state your ethnicity? What does that have to do with rules that are enforced to everyone. Augie is a pleasant and kind person and doesn't discount people because of music genre tastes, education, or race. This negative review is undeserved. You still had the chance to have 5 guaranteed picks. More then most other places. I was in line as well, but just behind the first 10 people. If you wanted more you could go back in and try your luck with everyone else. You were waiting since 8am? Try waiting from 12am if you want to try to make sure you get an album you want. I've done that. Rocket Records, Augie and the whole family are great and I'll always stand behind that. They try their best to provide a welcoming shopping experience.

If you're into punk / metal / hardcore, they have a great selection, but I've also picked up some good hip-hop, jazz, folk, and country stuff here, too. The dude that works behind the counter is super friendly, chatty, and seems to genuinely appreciate people being there. The sign even says "Friendliest Record Store." I'll be honest - as a former record store employee with a terrible attitude that kind of put me off at first. But as I've gotten older and less unruly, it was appreciated when I was able to wax nostalgic about wax with him. Good selection of 7"s, too - and if you look at their website you can virtually check what's in stop before hitting them up. Oh, and they have sales - often! - that are noted on their Instagram page. Need more shops like this. Need more people to support shops like this. I'm a fan.

You can spend all day in there chatting about music and the way recording and distribution has changed over the years. Great place. I would stop by even if you don't have a record player or tape player. The nostalgia, the walk down memory lane when you Spin a record on your palms or stick your finger in a cd. Man I feel old. But my 13yr old gets me to Phono Select all the time. There is something for everyone.

Incredible! Cannot rave about this store enough, particularly the fiction section. I felt like…read moreevery other shelf I was coming across some book that I hadn't thought about in a while, but that I had been meaning to read. The fiction section was vast & curated. I was impressed at the many quite recent publications alongside many other well-known (or lesser known but well reviewed) books. I assume they have many loyal customers engaging in buy-back. Feels like the type of place that I could stop by without any particular book in mind, and walk out with a purchase I enjoy (which is essentially exactly what I want in a bookstore). The bookstore itself has a very old-timey bookstore feel, with wooden shelves (a bit narrow), a bookish smell, some haphazard stacks of books, and the kind of reverent silence I associate with the library. I loved it.

The Audio Nerd is one of the best record stores I've been to. Not it's a bit of a drive from me and…read moreso I can never visit as often as I'd like to, but I have never had a bad experience. The owner is very passionate about music and you can tell it from talking to him. He is friendly, was chatting with all the different customers about what they picked, and even gives good suggestions! I bought a record from a band I had never heard of before (Fox Medicine). They were in the metal section but it was cute and bright pink. I looked them up quickly and listened to a couple songs and told myself I had to get that record. The owner was chatting with me about if I liked them or not and I was honest about literally just discovering them. He gave me one of their posters free of charge! They had just performed at his store and so he had a few left. I didn't realize he was giving it to me until we were leaving, I thought he was just showing me the poster. That absolutely made my day once I realized he was just giving it to me. The variety in this store is amazing with loads of vinyl, CDs, cassettes, and even music equipment! Prices are very fair, and everything is properly labeled. Instead of me having to get my hopes up inspect the record, the front usually says the condition, pressing, if it's colored, etc. I don't have to waste my time inspecting it myself, as the staff has already done the leg work. They even have a bargain bin (wall) with great deals! Down on the floor was a box that had cheap project vinyl too. When I worked at a record store I remember teachers coming in looking for the cheapest ones they could find for a various lessons they had coming up. I'm glad The Audio Nerd has a box for people like them. The store is a little bit cramped with how small it is and with how much product they carry, but it is such a gem and so fun to flip through. You can spend an hour or two easily in there despite it being a small store. Live shows even happen here! They move some of the tables out and put a band in there. Shout out Hayden for always promoting upcoming shows there! And as if this place couldn't get any cooler, they also do punch cards too... Who has ever heard of a record store doing a punch card before? Absolutely amazing. If you are looking for a cool new record store, The Audio Nerd is a great place to check out.
