What do you guys use to hold your records? I stole a milk crate from work today but it's about 1/2" too small :(

I hate LP storage boxes because they're not conductive to showing off your collection. Properly spaced bookshelves remain my favorite method of storage.

Problem is I don't really show off my collection, I just like being able to browse through it easier, and hold everything closer to my turntable. But that's just me \/:)\/

I bought these at Home Depot for $65, you can buy the individual cubes as well and connect them.



Very strong and sturdy.

Any idea what they're called? I'm looking for them on Home Depot's website.

Let me see if I can find out, at work right now.

EDIT: All they have is the Martha Stewart stuff online. I cannot locate what I bought. :( Might be store only.


I'll measure it today.

No worries, I work right by a Home Depot, so I'm going by after work. That looks exactly like what I wanted, and there's no Ikea near me.

Note: I went by my local Home Depot and they didn't have anything that looked like what he posted, just the Martha Stewart cubes he mentioned. And those squares are only about 10.5" :( I went by Target and Lowes as well, and apparently someone sent out a memo saying "Hey, if you're making cube shelves, that have to be under 12" square for some reason"

Oh well, guess I'll drive the hour and a half to Ikea.

I also picked up this at Target to hold my records.



This looks like exactly what I'm looking for! Do you remember the model/price? Can the records stand up straight in the cubes?

I swear it's impossible to find cube-style storage that can A) fit records and B) isn't Ikea.

I've found a $10 antistatic slipmat to be a pretty nice thing. I don't know if it does anything for sound, but it's nice not to feel sparkling static all over when switching records.

Is that what that is? I thought I was just feeling the music in my soul.

I used to have a decent home phono setup but had to sell it for money reasons. I'm going to pick up the LP60, but am mostly going to be listening on headphones, not through a receiver/speakers. Since the LP60 has a built in preamp, can I just pick up a cheap headphone preamp and be on my merry way?
