dominic252 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 So I know the default recommendation for someone looking for shelving is the Expedit, which I do eventually plan on buying, but what can you guys recommend for someone with a small collection? I would like to fit my table, receiver and two small speakers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That's a lot of equipment for a 'small rack'. Collections grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 If you're not looking to spend too much dough, I once used a cheap 3 shelf bookshelf I got from Wal Mart, it was around $12 and they always have them in stock, they also fit records. I cut holes in the back for cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hipsterasfolk Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yea, you can buy a similar shelf at Target for $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic252 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Share Posted July 27, 2012 I'll tale a look and see what Target and Walmart have. I might end up just biting the bullet and get an Expedit now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tankerdesk Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I'll tale a look and see what Target and Walmart have. I might end up just biting the bullet and get an Expedit now. Thanks! More incentive to fill it with records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dominic252 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 I like the way you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfactory Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 a 2x2 expedit is $40 i believe, and it is very sturdy, and will hold close to 200 records. i think it is the "best bang for your buck". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajxd Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I think they hold between 60-70 per cube, depending on single LP vs double vs gatefold vs everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominic252 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 If they're that cheap, I might just get one now because I'll eventually want one anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearchuck Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Just bite the bullet and get the Expedit with eight cubes for $70. It's the better value and six months down the line you won't be thinking to yourself, "I need another one of these 4-cubers." Shit fills up quickly. Plus, you should be able to fit a TT, receiver and (small) speakers on top, no problem. That way you won't have to stack the TT on top of the receiver, one of my biggest pet peeves.

dominic252 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 That's not a bad idea either. I wasn't too keen on putting my receiver in one of the squares because I figured it would let off a lot of heat and damage my records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
