I probably have them stored in the worst way possible right now. What are some pointers for storage? if any one has any A friend of mine said that standing them up is preferable, and that they should avoid sunlight.

slinch Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Ah well, and there's me thinking I was getting good at deck-spotting! Well the GR2 is just a rebranded Rega table, so they pretty much look identical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, as you can tell by this thread most of us have expedits, but just look around this thread you'll get ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agua Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 i see, once i pay off some of my debts i will most definitely have to pick up some better storage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikeguitars Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 i see, once i pay off some of my debts i will most definitely have to pick up some better storage! Agua if you like to build stuff yourself, try out these record racks. I currently dont have much time to do it myself but all the plans are there and it seems pretty easy and inexpensive to do yourself. andi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agua Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks all for tips.I just looked through the sticky thread and since my collection isn't all that big yet, I'll probably stick with the boxes I can purchase on there, as well as the plastic sleeves I need!

TFP Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Can anybody tell me if this storage from Amazon is any good? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000O1APF0/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1369139238&sr=8-2π=SL75 I looked on Ikea but could not find one like this.

Right now this is all I would need... there's plenty of reviews here: http://www.amazon.com/Foremost-327806-Modular-Divided-Storage/dp/B000O1APF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369142851&sr=8-1&keywords=Foremost+327806+Modular+Large+Divided+Storage+System%2C+Black sounds like they're a good minimal solution if you don't have a ton of vinyl. ikea doesn't carry anything like it, though most people find the expedit is the best bang for your record-storing buck.

Thanks Dreamover, Yeah I saw the reviews but still couldn't really be sure of durability, I thought maybe someone on here may have had a set. I think it was Target reviews though that I was double-guessing myself with. Because they sold some cubes and I think some people said they crack easy and get scratched etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was Target reviews though that I was double-guessing myself with. Because they sold some cubes and I think some people said they crack easy and get scratched etc. I have one. I haven't moved it since I got it. The plus side over the expedit is that it has a back and it's a cheap alternative. I don't know how sturdy it'd be if you stacked it when you ran out of room in the first one. It's served me well. I'm getting a 2x4 expedit or building a shelf soon. Oh and getting a new table as well haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
