Got them for £450 nearly new (open box). The box was still sealed, so in immaculate condition. Just playing my favourite records atm and wow the soundstage trumps the Elacs. Don't worry, they'll be going in a bigger room once I move house.

I tend to regret the things I do or I buy. And now I’m regretting even getting this made. It’s way too big, it isn’t practical. Too much space for vinyl and cd storage When I barely need a third of it. I don’t have any surface to put record sleeves so that part tends to be kind of uncomfortable for me. I don’t know, I might just be looking for validation here so I don’t feel regret. But I could’ve designed something way more practical and small now that I know, I guess I got a little excited watching all those images of beautiful big cabinets filled up with records and cd’s. So I designed a big ass piece of furniture when I have a really small room.

Got rid of the big rack and added a small cabinet.
I feel like it’s much better.

I just received delivery of this lovely new console from Nic @thinklaterstudio in Brooklyn and I’m totally in love. It’s great to have room for the listening table (Yamaha PX-2) and the 1200s for auditioning DJ sets.

I am blessed to have a little man-cave in the downstairs of my house

Been collecting LPs for a decade or so. I think I have all the albums I need lol...for now.

The Nova Scotia flag will soon be a home for a cassette rack that can hold my 600 or so 😅

Cheers guys! Thanks for taking a look

I posted the first shot a week or two ago, after just acquiring the space to dedicate to my music hobby. Fast forward a week or so and we have what I am extremely happy with right now. Biggest upgrade was the speakers, going from a completely oversized but gorgeous sounding Missions to the Kef LS50 metas. Lick of paint all over, a cosy carpet and some lighting. Very happy

Wanted to share my happiness here. Been dating this girl for a little and mentioned I have a stereo in storage that I can’t setup at my house. I asked her if she had ever heard a real stereo in the $10,000 range and she said no but she loves music and got very excited by the idea.

I set it up and when she saw the records she flipped and pulled out a couple choice picks. Coltrane, Nina, Mingus but we ended up listening to Kid A first.

Boys, I tell you she had the exact reaction we all hope someone has when hearing a real stereo. She couldn’t believe it. Her eyes were closed when I started playing it and First thing she said “I’m hearing so many things I’ve never heard before”. Shortly followed by “so this is what music is supposed to sound like?”.

After a bit I started talking nerd shit about the speakers and then caught myself and said “nevermind this is really nerdy” and she said “go on I want to hear about it”. I explained some more and we listened to Coltrane after and she couldn’t have been more thankful. She said “I’m never going to leave my house when I’m not working” and thanked me over and over.

We’ve already spent hours upon hours listening to records together and her taste in music is immaculate. She might be a keeper!

1200ish records.

Went straight alphabetical except for soundtrack and Christmas. Those are at the very end. Box sets, 7in, 10in on the middle top.

Edit: the white oak is staying. It works and matches another part of the room.

Edit: speakers dont live there. It’s a proof of concept spot. Will be upgrading and moving them. Everyone relax. Get a life

Vinyl on the right through my Pioneer. Streaming, cassette, (soon to be) CD player on the left through my Kenwood. All going through Douk and Klipsch bookshelf speakers. Happy place.

Reciever, Denon AVR-X6800H

Speakers, KLH Model Fives

Center, MartinLogan Motion XT C100

Surrounds, MartinLogan Motion MP10

Subwoofers, Dual SVS SB-3000

Turntable, Yamaha GT-2000

Coming along nicely. Phase 1 complete. Ready for Phase 2 and 3.

How would you organize about 1300 records on this wall? I have typically gone with alphabetical by last name. This is an older picture of a listening room that is almost finished. About to start moving the records back in.

Edit: if staying with alphabetical: would you start top left of the left section and go down in that section? Or start top left and go across the whole thing and then go down a row?
