I wonder what kind of prices they have. Austin hipsters will pay an awful lot for something "cool."
Remarkable New Vintage Audio Store in Austin, TX
While in town for SXSW I stumbled across an ad in the Austin Chronicle for The Sound Gallery, 4930 South Congress.
This photo on their website tells part of the story, but doesn't begin to do it justice.

It as if a stereo shop that was open from 1972 to 1986 was frozen in time and thawed out in 2014 intact. Hundreds of turntables, receivers, speakers, tape decks and more, all displayed as you would want them to be, each with an info sheet prepped by the staff. There's espresso and vinyl too. I saw several pieces of gear I owned in my teens and 20s. It was a wonderful time machine, but all the gear has been rehabbed and readied for sale. I haven't had that kid-in-a-candy store feeling in many many years. Worth a look if you love vintage gear. It's like a museum where you can buy the pieces.
