LPs - display/storage etc ideas

Thanks for the kind words. I haven't lived in California--but if your near an epicenter, maybe the Billy Bags is the right thing. As to the length of the sections that's pretty arbitrary, you can just pick whatever length of wood you want. As you can probably tell--I do a lot of reading sideways. I never really put any plans together, I just had the stock aluminum cut with spacing for 14" height between the shelves and the cross braces are 16". The wood is 10" wide. I'll see if I can come up with a rough sketch and scan it into word and send it to you--might take a couple of days before I can get to it.

As for the wife--she is a keeper. We agreed on a dedicated audio room and I can pretty much do whatever I see fit for that room. She of course has the rest of the house.

an old cedar hope chest makes a real nice record cabinet, just unhinge the top and set it on its side atop anything suitable...then ask the wife to find a new place for that cake-stained wedding dress and all those quilts hehe

A couple of homes, and wives ago, I built a 3/4" plywood box 15"highX12"deepXthe entire 15 foot length of the wall behind the speakers at eye level. 3/4" back bolted to the studs and a divider every 24" kept it from sagging. Very convenient with the floor space under and I think maybe it helped with standing waves or nodes or whatever. Didn't look bad either, kind of floating there.

Kublakhan: If you have a sizeable closet in or near the listening room, it can be made into a vinyl library with the addition of shelves and some decent lighting. I have done this in two apartments that I have lived in and just kept a small bin of records in the listening room which were to be either played or refiled. This gave the room a nice clean appearance. I like the look of lots of books in a room but the skinny spines on album covers never did it for me. I used stackable cubes from the Akron or some place like that in one setup and the cost was nil.
