Lp storage - location?

Hi all,

This is not a question about what works best for lp storage - lots of discussion about that i.e.. Ikea Expedit's , etc.

I have room for about 30 lp's in my entertainment unit - that houses my electronics, turntable, etc.

I also have a custom made lp box sitting beside my main rig that holds about 75 lp's. So for immediate access that's plenty.

My next decision is a space for the rest of the lp's and room for future growth.
My lovely bride has allowed me to take some space in her main floor office/reading room for lp storage. We are going to either be buying something that could be utilized for books, lp's, display, etc or have a buddy build something for us.

But I am wondering about the basement - please picture a completely finished space. All knocked out in drywall, finished ceilings, etc. Actually when down there it doesn't even seem like you're in the basement.

But it is still a basement - and basements hold onto their moisture a little bit more then the upper floors and they can generally be a few degrees cooler. We have forced air heating (natural gas) there and even auxiliary baseboard heat to take the edge off if necessary.

We use a dehumidifier in the winter and have a humidifier attached to the furnace to put moisture in for the winter. So the humidity is controlled for the most part.

Do you see any long term issue with storing lp's in the basement rec room? Do any of you store the majority of your lp's in the basement?

Any thoughts, suggestions, concerns, etc.

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks,
