About Vinyl Universe

Our Story

Vinyl Universe was born from a lifelong obsession with spinning records and crate-digging through dusty shelves. What started as a humble collection of vinyl records in a Southern California garage grew into a thriving online shop fueled by our belief that vinyl isn't just music—it's memory.

Our founder, a dedicated audiophile and record store veteran, dreamed of creating a space where analog music enthusiasts could come together and celebrate timeless sound. That dream lives on in every shipment we pack and every track that spins through your turntable.
