Owner is super attentive, knows his stuff, and always has something hidden that seems to be made for you! Tell him what you're looking for and he'll bend over backwards to find it...and suggest even more. It sounds like a knock to say "a little hard to find what you're looking for," but for those who love the Record Store experience...High Fidelity Style...that's a perfectly wonderful thing! Dont miss Record Store Days! This guy is GREAT at what he orders!

Just visited this record store for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. Very well ran and…read moreneatly organized store with a very wide selection of music. I found some stuff that I didn't really think I would at a local record shop so that was actually pretty refreshing. The albums they sell are fairly priced and their used selections are in good shape and also very fairly priced. The staff were attentive and helpful every step of the way. If you are as passionate as I am about collecting music, and want some more variety than what you might typically expect to see, absolutely check these guys out! 5/5. Will absolutely be returning.

I'm so excited about the Hi Fi House. I got a sneak peak of the flagship Hi Fi House in Omaha, NE,…read morelast week and wow was I sold! First off it's a big space that houses 30,000 lps in a massive collection that is growing by the day, 2nd there are many turntables and sound systems all set up like little rooms! Including a sound system that cost around 80,000 dollars! When we got there we were greeted, given a tour, and told we could play any LP in the place even if it was sealed we could open it and play it.. I gave my pals the option for them to pick something, but them being the sweetest they let me give it a go! Naturally I found Procal Harum's, "Whiter Shade of Pale," reissue! It's my second favorite song ever and this reissue had multiple versions including a full length instrumental version I have never heard! I also got to hear it on an 80,000 stereo, and lets just say... I was blown away! Then I got to listen to the album I just put out of my own band on the same stereo, while drinking a beer and having some music fans listen along! This was kinda awkward for me, but in the best way.. Emotions get all to real! This is going to be a place where musicians and industry type folk can get together and play records, talk about records, have a beer, and enjoy the music! Hi Fi house is also doing school programs to help the kids get inspired to become the musicians and industry type folk who will fill the Hi Fi Houses for years to come! Omaha has the flagship store, but their will be Hi Fi Houses popping up around the world in the coming years, with a curated vinyl catalog that can travel, much like museums! This is an amazing, mind blowing experience for a music fan and I hope a Hi Fi House can make Des Moines home at some point!

It's extremely easily shoppable too, with each section separated into alphabetical order. The staff is so helpful and pleasant, as well as super eager to help you find anything you're seeking specifically or based on what sound you are looking for. There aren't too many record shops left in the world nowadays, so Vinyl Cup is a great shop to have right here in Omaha. Definitely check them out!

Those other formats just don't sound as good for a lot of things. Great selection of new and used albums at a variety of price points. I really like that they put their used records in plastic sleeves. Protects them AND - maybe other people don't have this, but I don't like the way album covers (when I browse bins of used ones) feel against the tips of my fingers. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The cup part? Well on Saturday mornings they have free coffee and donuts. And other times they have beer. As a plus, it's all local.
