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

Rushton- I bought some white Masonnite in two peices and attatched them to the back of the unit. My records sit a little less than 3" from the front of the shelve but are all evenly spaced with spines visible. When you go to purchase the unit make certain you take a friend who is in good shape!
Joe, a damn impressive design! But then, seeing what you did with the Teres, it’s not a surprise. Congratulations.
Thanks for sharing the Masonite tip, Ashra. That's how my current shelving works, and it sounds like an easy add to the Expedit.

One additional comment on the IKEA Bonde solution: since these come in single width units, they are easy to fit in where space allows (rather than needing a large wall), and it would be easy to add to them as more space is needed. (Not to take anything away from the Expedit solution, of course.)

Good points Rushton,
As the "Bonde guy" in this thread, the nice thing about them other than their stable LP sized storage capabilities is their size and flexibilty. I currently have 3 units in my listening room, two flanking the window behind the listening position, and one by my racks. This one holds the Lps that are in the heaviest rotation for playing.
Thanks Vvrinc. Now all I have to do is get finished building some of this crap!
