record storage?


Since I bought a Rega P2 my record collection has been growing. I need a decent way to store my records. I'm having a hard time finding anything on the net. I've looked at the Boltz racks and they look decent, but I'm cheap and if I'm going to part with a few hundred dollars I'd rather spend it on a new cartridge or even more records. Any ideas? thanks-matt

I use Ikea Corras tables about $30 a piece, they roll and with the shelf at the highest position can fit LPs perfectly

Lots of people report good success using the IKEA Bonde bookshelf units. These are 15" deep and each shelf is 14" wide so shelf-sagging under the weight of records is not a problem. Also, the width provides appropriately spaced vertical support for your records (a highly recommended design feature for record shelving no matter what you do). They come in heights of 58" (four shelves) and 86" (five shelves)

You can see a picture of a four shelf Bonde unit in use on Slipknot1's system page.



I'm using something very similar for storage of several thousand LPs here.

Herman, it's just using the standard html image tag. The trick is that, since Audiogon doesn't support the html when posting, you have to do it after the initial posting using the "edit my post" feature. When you go back in to edit your post, you can insert any html tags you want, including italics, bold, bullets, and images...



The challenge is that you can't edit once someone posts behind you, so you need to be quick on an active thread. Also, if the post has to go through moderator review first, you sometime don't get an opportunity to edit.
