At Modern Vinyl®, we believe in the timeless magic of vinyl records. There’s nothing quite like the crackle of the needle, the rich warmth of analog sound, and the full album experience. Vinyl brings people together and keeps music history alive.
That’s why we specialize in high-quality turntables, vinyl care essentials, and record storage solutions. Our goal is to make collecting, playing, and preserving vinyl records easy for both new and seasoned audiophiles.
Our Vinyl Journey
Modern Vinyl® was founded in 2022 by a small team of vinyl enthusiasts in Nashville, TN. We’ve always been fascinated by records – the artwork, liner notes, and tactile nature. There’s just something special about vinyl.
As more people rediscovered the vinyl experience, we saw an opportunity. While major retailers carried turntables and records, they lacked the passion and knowledge that true vinyl lovers expect. We envisioned a company dedicated entirely to the vinyl lifestyle.
With decades of collective experience buying, selling, and caring for records, our team was up for the challenge. We researched top brands, sourced quality materials, and designed products that make vinyl more enjoyable. After many long nights and spinning test records, Modern Vinyl® was born.
Our Vinyl Promise
We take vinyl seriously so you don’t have to. Modern Vinyl® takes the guesswork out of buying record players, accessories, storage, and more.
We do extensive research and testing to offer the best selection of turntables, supplies, and furniture. From targeted features to ease of use, we evaluate everything through the eyes of vinyl enthusiasts. If a product doesn’t meet our stringent criteria, we won’t carry it.
We share our first-hand knowledge to help you get the most out of vinyl. Our team will answer questions, provide set-up advice, and give recommendations to enhance your vinyl experience. Consider us your vinyl concierge service.
We stand behind the products we sell. We choose reputable brands and partner with reliable suppliers. If any issue arises, just contact us and we’ll make it right.
We’re vinyl people too. This isn’t just a business to us. We’re record collectors who love spinning wax. We’re always happy to chat about favorite albums, artists we’ve seen live, and memorable record store finds.
