My visit was great. Incredible gear to demo and great staff. Anthony was at the front desk and took the time to let me hear some of my mixes through their analog audio gear in the back, which was eye-opening and informative. The display studio in the back feels more like an office than a showroom, but it had 2 consoles, a full rack of amazing outboard gear and top of the line studio monitors.

I left the adapter and cables in Dallas and had no way of getting my work done on the timeline I was on. Michael at Vintage King completely saved the day. Got me taken care of on the cables that at this point are impossible to find, AND got me in to a grab and go Volt interface to make my fly rig way simpler. Vintage King Nashville is the best...
