@inks according to Discogs, I’m just shy of 1700 records which seems insane but that also includes 7”s and a handful of records I have color variants of for sentimental reasons. But I also know I probably have a bunch of records I still haven’t gotten around to putting in, so who knows.
that stain looks amazing, btw.
I have a pretty small little office in my house and I hate it being cluttered so I am forever struggling with the storage issues.
My current setup is this:
Both sides under the buffet are full.
(Small pile of records against the couch is the “to be filed” pile.)
Plus this:
I just added that last week - once I added this, it opened up some space in the main storage. I have a ton of Chappells coming from the EU that I ordered around Black Friday which still haven’t shown up, so I’m sort of saving that space for them and some other stuff I’ve been waiting on forever.
Admittedly...I do have 4 cubes in the spare room, too. I just hate putting records in another room because I forget I have them and I rarely play those.
I really like the setup you have going here. That Marantz receiver is beautiful, I'm always on the lookout for one at a reasonable price. Also appreciate seeing that Cheddar Goblin box on the top shelf and it looks like your copy of Inchiesta arrived pretty quickly, I made an offer on an over priced US copy and the person just denied it and didn't respond to my message. Oh well, hopefully another one will pop up. One does have to wonder if certain people put the "make an offer" option up with the thought that some one will offer then more than what they have listed...
I completely agree with putting records in the other room, it's been one of those things I've had to do for years and it meant they were going to the "don't really listen to" pile. Having everything all in one place has made me want to spin some stuff I haven't in a while, it's been fun. According to discogs I have amassed 850 records but I'm willing to bet that it's up over 900 as I haven't been updating regularly as new stuff comes in. I used to have a system and I was working my way through the last 1/4 of my collection but fell off a few months ago and now with the re-org I am going to have to start over again :(
