High Fidelity (film) Rob Gordon is the owner of a semi-failing record store in Chicago where he sells old-fashioned vinyl records. He is a self-professed music junkie who spends his days at Championship Vinyl with his two employees, Dick and Barry. Although they have an encyclopedic knowledge of pop music and are consumed with the music scene, it is of no help to Rob when his longtime girlfriend, Laura, walks out on him.
