aflycon Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 it will take you, at most, 5 minutes to put together, I don't think it will need to be mounted. I bought a 1x2 yesterday and have it standing up upright and it's not going to tip over anytime soon. I'd imagine it's just the larger ones that really need reinforcement. Good luck keeping that collection small! Haha, thanks man. I'll post some before/after pictures for you guys when it's all done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Shane Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hahaha. I actually don't have anything. I got the sticker from a friend and I liked the art on it. It is a label I've been meaning to look into though. You should! There's some really underrated gems on that label. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passionbrand Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 Do you guys have any recommendations for good shelving? I would love to order to from ikea but I'm not paying $300 shipping and my nearest store is 4 hours away there are companies on the east coast that will go to your nearest Ikea and buy what ever you want and then deliver it to you for cheap. my folks own one in Virginia. try googling it.

AlexMBentley Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Here is my current set up. I like to shift around what I have on the walls and stuff. That clock is pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QUA1L Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Reorganized a bit. I have some signed gig flyers and art prints I need to put up still so it doesn't look like I only go and see Sleep The flyers you can't really see in the third pic.... All of my CD's are hidden in the closet. slinch, anthemforadoomed, jtcohenour and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourfourtwo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 So yesterday, my chinchilla did something that she had never done before - she chewed the sleeve of one of my records. I caught her in time, but I am putting a stop to it! Today was my day off, so I went to Michael's and bought a few of those god awful LP frames (I felt like a tool buying them), and remembered I had a few Portugal the Man prints lying around. So a trip to the hardware store later, I bought some black hinges, and before you know it, custom doors for the Expedit, and CHINCHILLA-PROOF Expedit. Quite happy with how it turned out. passionbrand, kilahda, tomfiend and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konk Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Amazing that it's such a perfect fit and the hinges don't show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfourtwo Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Amazing that it's such a perfect fit and the hinges don't show. I thought it wouldn't fit at first, but its such a snug fit. I think I'm going to put little handles on them, cause it's kind of difficult opening them, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchard Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Looks like i'll be running by Michaels after work. I need a couple doors on my setup to hide wires/supplies. I didn't know they had nicer LP frames now. The old ones were terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billya Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 This may be a dumb question, but do the doors block the records that are at the end behind the hinges? They look awesome, but that is my only possible drawback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like i'll be running by Michaels after work. I need a couple doors on my setup to hide wires/supplies. I didn't know they had nicer LP frames now. The old ones were terrible. These were technically "t-shirt" frames. A bit bulkier than the LP frames. 13"x13". http://www.michaels.com/T-shirt-Frame/fr1240,default,pd.html They're also currently Buy 1 Get 1. This may be a dumb question, but do the doors block the records that are at the end behind the hinges? They look awesome, but that is my only possible drawback. No, I used really thin hinges that can open more than 180 degrees. When I attached them, I put them to the very edge of the expedit, so it opens all the way out (and around the corner). gabpower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUA1L Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Great setup and listening room, looks awesome. What are those Marantz? Thanks! The one on the left is a 2245. It's what's currently being used in conjunction with the TT and Paradigms. On the right is a little 1515 that is not being used any more. I have plans for it though. Going to buy a cheap tube "preamp" kit and use it strictly for headphone listening with my CD's. Im not sure how it will sound, but for no more than the receiver and kit cost Im not going to worry too much if it sounds like straight dook.

RustyShackelford Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Posted this in the "DEAL FOUND carbon" thread. But I'll post it here too since I think there will be some interest: Loving the debut carbon so far. And I actually really like having to manually change the belt. It's more hands on and that's one thing I love about records. I also found a cool little box at walmart to keep my 45 adapters, record brushes and cleaning solution, and various other records things in. If any of you are interested it's in the office supplies section and only $5. It's got two drawers and a compartment on top that opens up. It's perfect for what I use it for passionbrand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
