Cow_Art i'm in awe of your listening room. Serious #goals.

i'm lucky in that I used to be pretty good friends with a guy who did carpentry and interior design. he gave me cost price for a custom birch ply setup with these sorts of cubes, but as drawers, built to the height that you'd want to put turntables on top of. i've still never seen anything like it for sale.

i say "used to" - nothing happened, but he moved to the swedish countryside a few years ago, so it's pretty hard to see him.

Thanks! It’s our living room; my wife is cool as hell. She was a little put out when I put the stereo gear in the fireplace, but we live in Georgia. When the hell are we ever going to need a fireplace?

That’s a life-size self-portrait in bronze, btw.

i initially thought it was a mannequin! your response to my joke had me perplexed :)

i bought my ikea shelves used on craiglist. they have never been super nice. after moving about four or five times, they're plenty dinged up and not at all sturdy.

i don't need anything super fancy. in fact, i've been looking to construct something similar to the shelves in bulb's link. just something simple, economical, and sturdy for all my books and records.

a friend recently spent $5k on two shelves that probably hold around 1000 records? they look awesome but

jeez, I built my own shelf that holds more than that for maybe $200 in materials

you should post new pics so we can see how they're holding up after 14 years

those are the old ones, they look the same. the new one is prob built to the same general specs as shelf #2 above, but with real wood not particle board, it's a tank

just recently got hold of 15 metres of old recycled oak boards which will soon house the rest of my lps currently residing in boxes with some room to spare (i hope!)
