This was my first experience and I was very pleased. They have a wide collection of different music genres and different formats on audio as Cassettes, CD and Vinyls. They have Blu Rays DVDS and some video games. Also VHS tapes. The staff checked all of my discs and I was trying not to complain as I saw some light scratches and one disc was oddly white. The staff was very kind and helpful and fixed all the scratches using their machines. I was very pleased as I always skip on some media at my local Goodwill as they always have scratches. The staff was kind and friendly and helpful. I am shocked and pleased. They also have amazing prices. I'll be back again soon in the future. Prices are amazing as well. Have to update my reveiw though and say that The Audio Nerd was a fun and better experience the first time around. Recently went back and they said they no longer had the two stores they owned another building. They share and conjoined it all together and now it's very quick and not very...
Read moreI travel to the greater Sac area from Reno somewhat often. When I do, I always try to stop by a record store on my way out. I’ve been to The Audio Nerd only twice, but oh man, it’s awesome!

They grabbed it for me and even switched out it’s pretty scratched up case to a much nicer one, which is one of the coolest things to do for a collector.
I’m pretty loyal to my local record store, but if The Audio Nerd somehow became my home store, I would not be complaining! If you’re from the Rocklin area or just passing by, definitely go support this...
Read moreI have to admit I am a regular at the audio nerd. Is the store organized? Yes. Do they know music? Yes. They also have some pretty great vintage equipment. I have purchased many vintage pieces from the audio nerd. They do a good job servicing old equipment as well. Not only do they have great pricing for the service of vintage equipment, but it also get done quickly. I purchase a lot of records. They grade pretty accurately and stand behind what they sell. If you are looking for a store to perform open heart surgery on the floor, maybe look somewhere else. If you are looking for a record store where the staff is passionate about different music genres and equipment, you should stop by and say hi to Steve. Him and his staff are...
