Recently bought a new turntable and speakers so I’m re-listening to my Queen Vinyl Box Set so I can hear it all again in HIGH QUALITY!!!

I have bought my storage from my local record store. The owner's husband makes them. True, they are more expensive the Ikea, but I like the look and I really like my local record store so it is a win/win for me.

5:35 Great video as always, Jarrett. I love my IKEA Kallax storage shelves which are tailor-made for records and one trick I use to hide some record clutter is to take one record out of every section and display it in front of the other 75 to 80 records behind it. That way, I can enjoy the cover art and change it as often as I'd like. :)

2 things: There are two types of milk crates. Ones that hold records and ones that don't because they are too small. Also, I would pick a milk crate (that fits records) over a wooden crate like the one you showed any day.

Make sure you orient the Kallax the right way; i.e. you want your records on the "long pieces" that are the SHELVES and NOT on the shorter pieces which are the "walls" only supported by the dowels! I've seen horrible images of Kallax shelves that have COLLAPSED due to too much weight on them when they've been setup the wrong way! Other than that -- the Kallax is great!

There are short boards, used as vertical divider walls to the storage unit, and long boards which are used for the horizontal shelving. It is very important to use the longer boards as the shelving to place and safely hold the records in place. To do otherwise invites the risk of the storage unit collapsing, and damaging the records. Keep’em spinning, be blessed.

Thanks for your time! Love to see you again!

I currently have 17 records. I store 6 of them on the wall constantly and the others in a wooden box close to my TT. The nicest thing about that box is that is from my dad's old audio setup and it's at least 30-40 yo. It even has a support on top to store tapes/CDs. I usually store them behind the sleeve to minimize the ring formation on the front of the sleeve.

I reached the 600 LP milestone recently. I''m using a Kallax (2x5), Bestå (also from Ikea) and a couple of old port wine crates for my 12". As for my 7 and 10 inches, I had a couple of small crates built for my 7" which sit on top of my Bestå, which is turn sits atop of the Kallax, and the 10" fit perfectly in the hifi cabinet, where I also store a few odd size CD cases. My biggest headache for the past few months is finding a decent solution for store my cassettes.

New video idea: "Is it actually possible to unwarp a record?" *asking for a friend...*

@uhfch2358

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, but you may risk the possibility of ruining the record. That being said, I’ve had a fair amount of success using a blow dryer (not a heat gun) on high heat. Heat the affected area for about 30 secs. Then quickly sandwich the record between two clean, flat pieces of MDF board. This method will give more control than putting the record in the oven. If you need to flatten more, you can do it as many times as necessary. You may not get it perfect, but in most cases it will be playable.

I had a bit of paranoia about my records being at a slant in my shelf, thought there might be uneven pressure that would case them to warp. Seeing your setups assured me itd be fine, cheers man 🙂

I went with the KALLAX when I moved my collection 3 years ago. The record cabinets I had built years before were too high for the new room that my records are stored in and, as you said, the KALLAX from Ikea has cubbies that are just the right size and with the variety of configurations available work out perfectly for my record and reel tape collections. A total of 80 cubbies with 70 filled with LP's (over 4200) and 10 filled with tape reels. Up against a wall they work great and were easily bolted together at the back to form a solid storage system. I found 15 clear with red overlapped lidded containers that work great for storing and transporting my 7" vinyl disks (about 125 per container). And then there are my CD's and DVD's that I store on Ikea Journalist solid metal shelves (sadly no longer available) which are the strongest Ikea shelves I've ever purchased. Great look and easily disassembled /transported /and re-assembled. I would have bought and used more of them for my record collection if they had still been available because of there strength, durability and modern look.

Currently, I have 2,344 records in my vinyl collection. The break down looks like this: 45rpm records: 1,005; lps: 1,143; 12" records (dj singles): 196. It isn't a lot, but I love my collection, and it is ever growing...love the channel...Clevon

I’ve been to Mile Long Records. It’s a cool little shop in the suburbs of Chicago. Thank you for the great and helpful content.

Good to see you back fella

I have over 200 records and the ones I play the most I put in a vintage wood LP record cabinet made in 1970 by Lane furniture company. The unit holds about 130 records. The rack swings downward allowing you to insert and take out records on a bit of an angle.

Got close to 1000.. I use the Kalaxx Shelf too. Side note. Store your records in their outer sleeves outside the actual Jacket (in the jacket outer sleeve) to help prevent ring wear.

I have about 1100 vinyl LPs in my collection. I store them in two Better Homes & Gardens 8 cube organizers, that are similar to the Kallax units from Ikea.

Just bought one of those on Walmart (2X1, my collection is around 50 records right now) I like it so far but I’m scared to put records on the thinner shelf. Have you had any issues?

A note on wood crates... Make sure the grain is completely flat, sanded down on the inside. If it's too coarse, it will chaffe the outer sleeves if you dont have plastic sleeves. So just sand it down, put down some paper on the bottom and use sleeves

Ive been collecting for almost a year now and ive got around 50-60 records. I had them just on my bookcase but i finally bought some cases for them today

Song of the day. Its a Classic Trance Track called Saltwater By Chicane also known as Disco Citizens. He mainly Produces House music and Trance. Saltwater is one of his classics from 1999.

I found an inexpensive ottoman on Amazon which fits 12" records perfectly. It looks nice, it's practical, and it keeps my records away from dust.

I also use the Kallax shelving solution w some drawers, for about 65 records, and a Rega P3 on top. I did install adjustable feet on the Kallax though. Perfect!

Enclose the vinyl in it's sleeve and Album cover separate but both in the protected sleeve together, this will reduce ring wear on the cover art !

I don't know how many I have. Been collecting since 1968, Sgt Peppers mono. But on my brother made 3/4 inch Birch dual wall units it measures almost 14 feet and I stopped buying early 2000s. Mostly 12inch imports in the 80 - 90s TTs are two Dual CS5000 one with a high output moving coil cartridge Denon DL160, maybe a Denon DL301mkII with a Denon AU320 in the future. Still have my Dual 1229 from 1974 with a Pickering XV15/1200E Micro Acoustics MA2002e and a Shure M92E Also a Kenwood KD650 on my wishlist

At present I have about 900 records, maybe a little more. I build myself a cabinet out of wood planks or boards. Also called shelfing boards from Lowes. The cabinet is 38 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 46 inches in length. I built it to have a top shelf and a bottom shelf. The top shelf is completely full of records. The bottom shelf is almost half full. The wood planks or board are half inch thick. I stained the cabinet a Red Mahogany. I used steel braces on the inside of the cabinet. It is strong enough to my Music Hall turntable/isolation pad and Pioneer RT-1020L reel to reel tape deck on the very top of the cabinet.

Very similar to the Kallax, I’m using Clever Cube. Currently I have a 1x2, a 2x2 and a 2x4 for my 400+ records, 200 odd CDs, and just over 100 DVDs and Blu-ray’s. Oh, and a couple dozen cassettes. Instead of a song of the day, how about an album of the day? The last one I listened to was Jean Michel Jarre The Concert in China.

Informative...Thank you Jarret.

On the subject of the Ikea Kallax and the look alike Better Homes & Gardens Cube Storage, it's a great idea to cut a piece of hardboard or pegboard to size and attach it to the back of the unit. This serves two purposes by adding great stability to the unit and prevents the records from sliding out the back. Also, once you have that in place you can take a pool noodle and cut pieces the width of the cube. Tuck those into the back and your albums will rest against it and not disappear into the back of the unit. (Song of the Day - Am I Evil? by Diamond Head)

Hi vinyleyezz thanks for very useful information!!!!!!

On Amazon I ordered a “Narrow Coffee table” for $98 and its perfect for my records!! The listing might still be available, it is 3 cubes horizontally assembled. The claim is it can hold 150 LPs, I’m currently at 105 and I still have plenty of room, many of my albums are gatefolds too. Hope this helps someone! Oh also, don’t buy used, I’ve read many reviews of this table missing parts on arrival, my new one was just as advertised.

@Vinyl Eyezz I was wondering what the things are that are holding up your vinyl in the background? Ive been looking for something exactly or really similar to that

I would love to see a video on the best way to handle your records in a house move, especially long distance using a moving company. I have amassed a large collection and am dreading my next move and making sure they reach the destination intact.

Literally just bought one of those heavy-duty lock cases yesterday

I've been using the Better Home and Gardens 2x2 shelf for a few years and it's really great! It's a bit easier to find if you're like me and don't have an Ikea in your area. I kinda need a new one though... because I'm running out of room on the shelf I do have! :)

Went with a cheap option here that does the job really nicely and can be used to seal the records against dust and moisture as it comes with a lid that locks onto the box. Really useful box 19XL - holds about 50 LPs Really useful box 9XL - holds about 100 EPs.

One thing to note about the milk crates. Some of them aren’t good for storing vinyl. I have one that looks just like the one you showed at 2:05 (except it’s a different color) but I tried to store my records in there but they’re too big to fit properly. I’m very new to the hobby so as of now I just keep them on the floor but I’m looking to get the wooden crates

I've watched your videos for months and slowly been collecting vinyl every month or so. However I've never owed a turntable until yesterday, I got the Piccadilly GPO and I'm enjoying it so much. Although my records sound extremely clear I'm missing the bass from a Bluetooth speaker I used. Would there be any salutation to increase it just a little as I play metal mostly by adding something or a way to adjust some of the settings? thanks in advance.

I keep my 45 rpm in vintage metal storage Cases, all my 33 and 78 are in sleeves and stored inside my audio rack or in my audio cart :)

I accidentally read “record SHORTAGE” and I was like oh damn but this was so helpful too so thanks

In my experience crates were warping vinyls, they need to be placed precisely vertically so it would not have a pressure on the last record, even small angle like shown in video was warping vinyl

I would suggest placing the lp in an inner sleeve and then placing it on the outside of the album cover within the outer sleeve. Prevents seam splitting of the album cover.

Great info brother

Question: How does the vaultz record case hold up to the odyssey case?

A few thoughts, Jarrett...Not all milk crates are the exact size of records...The Supreme Crates that The Container Store put out were just right...There may be other companies who put out similarly sized ones...I have a few old LP- and 45'-sized Platter Paks from the 50's and 60's that work, although I would stay away from the wire racks and Disk-Go-Cases from the same era unless you were just looking to use them for decoration...There are antique metal dairy crates that might work, too...There are also the newer cardboard boxes that come with lids via sites like Bags Unlimited, BCW, and Sleeve City, for example...There are some liquor and wine boxes that might also fit the size of records...And then, there are ones you can buy and put together from the office supply stores...A chest or an ottoman with internal storage might also work for the LP's...And then, don't forget the metal racks such as the ones Urban Outfitters has put out and the LPBin system, where the records are front-facing...You could also pilfer some used racks if your favorite record store happens to go out of business...Record album frames are another thought...A cheaper version of the Kallax might be the Better Homes & Gardens cubes that Walmart sells, as well...Finally, if you're into the DIY thing, you could custom make something to fit your individual needs or repurpose an old cabinet or shelving unit from the thrift store...There are way more options out there that what you've listed, so it's good to keep all thoughts in mind...
