Vinyl Album Storage Rack

Randy, Thanks for the post and link. I also do not plan to collect hundreds of albums and need something small and nice looking. It's a little expensive, but so is the rest of this hobby plus it is a quality pc of furniture.

I like the same one and totally agree on the Amazon offerings. Will show this to Mrs Shadow
 
I cannot vouch for the quality, yet. But I believe it will be fantastic! Brit was an absolute joy to work with. Takes some time to get one, but being hand made solid wood I expected that :).
 
Just found this one on Etsy for $285. Obviously not as nice but same functionality and looks decent also.

Looks like a solid unit. It really comes down to what fits your needs. I know my wife would not want it, too retro looking like it was from the 60's or 70's :). She prefers the solid wood look.

Awesome, they definitely work for you in your room! Lots of vinyl there :)... we have three guys in our audio club that literally have dedicated rooms for their vinyl :D....
 
great looking suggestions across the board gents, I am somewhat surprised that not one 'competent wood worker' in the group has not chimed in to let us know how much $$ we could save if we made them ourselves !

I guess I should have payed more attention during woodworking class 50+ years ago !

Now that is a vinyl fanatic if ever I saw one :). It has to be a chore just keeping them organizing and picking out which one you want to listen to :D.

a chore is doing the dishes or taking out the rubbish.:roflmao:

playing with vinyl is magic

- btw, everything is strict alphabetical except for classical, soundtracks and various artists so I can find most albums very quickly. You will notice some albums are poking out in the shelves - that enables easy album returns.

cheers
 
FWIW... I have cataloged my entire LP collection for the first time.

Using Roon, I created a "My LP Collection" Tag. Then I added the digital versions of my entire LP collection to that tag (I used Qobuz).

So now, I use Roon to "browse" my LP collection using my iPad. When I decide what I want to play, I can find the album in the rack and play it. Or I can just listen to the digital version if I am too lazy to get up from my chair.

I think of it as a wine list. I browse the list, decide what you want to drink, and then go to the cellar and fetch it.

As an extra benefit, I printed the list of my (digital version of...) LP collection and saved it for future reference. Now I know the albums that I own!
 
Looks like they are in Sugarcreek, Ohio -- about an hour or so south of where I live. I may have to visit them in person.
 
Looks like another good choice. My wife would never accept the look, she wants more of the furniture look and feel, but it definitely appears to be built solidly!
 
I use Discogs to keep track of my records. Whenever I clean new, or new to me, records, I enter them into discogs. I can access the collection on my phone, when tempted to buy something.
