Surface Noise | What is Next on the Vinyl Record Collecting Calendar? Salina Stories. Austin Preview.

The Vinyl Community never slows down, and neither do we! This week on Surface Noise — The Show of Record, Talking Records, we're covering major record collecting events and (almost) celebrity sightings. 

We're fresh off the Vinyl Summit in Salina, Kansas, celebrating 40 years of Chad Kassem's Acoustic Sounds! What were the biggest highlights, surprises, and takeaways from this gathering of audiophiles, vinyl collectors, and music enthusiasts? From rare records and high-end audio to the people who make this hobby special, we're breaking down the experience.

Then we're headed to Texas for a mini-preview of the upcoming fall Austin Record Convention, one of the country's premier record collecting events! What can collectors expect? And what record 🔥 is Roxas bringing to the event to sell? 

 

Expect hot takes, unpopular opinions, spirited debates, and maybe a few stories about Applebee's.

 

This.

Is.

Surface Noise.
