LPs - display/storage etc ideas

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.

see dekay, NOW you're using your brains. i guess the next part of my evening is throwing out most of my clothes to make way for the lps.
good one
