LPs - display/storage etc ideas

Kublakhan: If you have a sizeable closet in or near the listening room, it can be made into a vinyl library with the addition of shelves and some decent lighting. I have done this in two apartments that I have lived in and just kept a small bin of records in the listening room which were to be either played or refiled. This gave the room a nice clean appearance. I like the look of lots of books in a room but the skinny spines on album covers never did it for me. I used stackable cubes from the Akron or some place like that in one setup and the cost was nil.

Kubla: The electronics in our living room system are displacing my clothes closet (in the hallway as my wife "owns" all of the other ones). I have not figured out what to do with my clothing yet, but it is not a priority. My leisure suits and polyester shirts are wrinkle free anyway (just need to keep the white belts and shoes away from dirt and grime).

I just received this email from Gene Rubin (a local high end dealer) and hope he does not mind that I am posting it here. I wanted to give him credit as well. Here's the info:

Dear LP record owners,

those of us with lots of LP records all know how difficult it is to
find a shelf unit with just the right dimensions at any reasonable
price. Many of you have to go the very expensive custom route. I am
sending you this email to let you know about a very attractive, simple
unit that holds 600 to 700 LP's available at your local Target Store. I
happened into it a day before I was to order a custom $700 unit. This
shelf unit was exactly what I needed at only $129! All the dimensions
are perfect, it is very strong, the look is contemporary. I searched the
web for a picture of it to email you but, alas, there was none to be
found. You'll just have to go to Target to check it out for yourself. It
is in the furniture department, Furio model #40054.

Hope this helps some of you out,

Gene Rubin
