Alright, so we're going to start putting up some more stuff now even though it feels like we have a long way to go before the interiors are "finished". First up: We've gotten most of our records put away though we still have some wiring issues to sort out--plus we have yet to unearth a couple of components from the depths of some unmarked box. Posted by brownstoner at November 2, 2005 4:25 PM CommentsHurray! Bring it on... Posted by: Anonymous at November 2, 2005 6:09 PM beautiful! i love how rows and rows of records look... Posted by: Anonymous at November 3, 2005 7:51 AM You put your records away? I was expecting to see file cabinets or hanging files if you were storing records. What are those flat colorful things you have on the shelves... :P Posted by: Shahn Andersen at November 3, 2005 8:39 AM looks great! Posted by: Anonymous at November 3, 2005 11:13 AM omigod. A vinyl collector! ; ) Posted by: jk at November 3, 2005 3:19 PM So, one vinyl nut to another, what kind of turntable do you guys have? Mine's a Linn Basik. 15 years old but still sounding sweet. Posted by: Roz at November 4, 2005 1:54 PM Wow! Vinyls! Space is truly the last luxury -- I don't even have room for my CDs, so I'm downloading them all to my iPod and selling them... Posted by: babs at November 7, 2005 2:17 PM I second Roz's question - what kind of turntable do you have and where'd you get it? Posted by: Whitbo at November 9, 2005 11:32 AM What are you plans for cord management? That's the problem with built-in shelves, which otherwise look so fabulous.

It's a twenty year old B&O that I sold to Brownstoner about ten years ago. Glad to see it's still going strong! Posted by: Whitbo at November 10, 2005 10:18 AM Still goin' strong! Posted by: Brownstoner at November 10, 2005 2:29 PM Ah, vinyl. Having to get up every 30 minutes or so to flip sides makes me listen more closely. I usually sit down to concentrate on the music when I'm playing my LPs. It's not just background noise. Then there's the delicious "decay" -- eg. Sarah Vaughan's voice trailing off at the end of a song -- which disappears altogether with digital playback. But getting the acoustics right in a brownstone can be tricky: long, narrow rooms; high ceilings; all those doorways etc. How have people set up their systems? Posted by: Roz at November 10, 2005 5:45 PM Ok now.....how do you organize your records? Posted by: Anonymous at November 11, 2005 4:34 PM if you did want to store your records in a different way...these guys make custom cabinets as well as storage for turntables. they're in SF but have really nice stuff (and they ship). http://www.dualsf.com Posted by: anon at January 15, 2006 9:19 PM |
