    Record storage

    Wanted a few portable record storage racks, also wanted them adjustable for the time that there’s not enough to fill them up. Made the first one this afternoon, 22” long so it could fit into a cabinet if wanted, they will hold about 100 albums when fully extended.. Here’s my prototype...

    Storing tape and mag eraser

    Is there any danger to storing my bulk eraser or head demagnetizer in the same cabinet i keep reel to reel tapes? Also is it problematic to have the cabinet next to speakers( I dont belive they're to "high powered", Advents and Genesis M1's) Just doing some reorganizing and was trying to put...

    Looking for CD Storage solution(s) for a small dwelling

    I'll cut to the chase. Are there any storage solutions for a sizeable CD collection in a fairly small apartment? I've already ruled out tossing the jewel cases and putting the discs into albums, or ripping my collection to MP3 (shudder!), which would take forever anyway. How have folks here...

    Storing Vintage Equipment

    My collection continues to grow. It's nowhere near the size of some of the AK regulars, but has grown to where it needs some management (or...eek!...thinning). Currently, unused amps and receivers sit flat on shelves in the garage, stacked no more than two high with plastic draped over the top...

    R2R Tape Storage

    Over the years I’ve collected a number of prerecorded R2R tapes, but have never come across much in the way of storage solutions - even from when the tapes were in production. I can find the occasional metal tape box, or use a bookshelf, but even a bookshelf doesn’t fit the size format well...

    Cassette tapes VS HVAC system

    I mounted four Napa Valley 100-cassette tape holders onto the wall. The space on the wall is perfect for the holders size. However that wall is also the corner of the utility closet and the cold air returns. Inside the utility closet is the air handler/ furnace. The inside wall area is where the...

    Supreme Crate LP storage no more??

    With the renewed appreciation of vinyl, are we seeing a strange war on vinyl storage? First the mutation of the venerated Expedit shelf into the still workable, but not quite as loved Kallax, and now it seems that the workhorse of the portable storage, the plastic, sturdy, and stackable Supreme...

    DIY Vinyl Storage

    Just finished this walnut vinyl tower for a good friend of mine who first got me into vintage sound equipment. All walnut construction with oak thru dowel joinery. I had to add a birch backer because thin walnut plywood is impossible to find. I think it works. It was hard to gift it to him...

    TV Media Player as audio only device for flac, wav, mp3

    Wondering if anyone uses an older TV media player for audio only? I see some of these "older" ones such as Seagate GoFlex are pretty cheap on used market. Though usually sold without the plugin HDD. I want to start cheap to get into it, as I do not have enough flac files yet to warrant a NAS...
