catesta Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 MORE shelves equal more storage space. With higher I meant the distance between the shelves in one unit. Looks like 2 CDs would fit on top of each other. So why not have two shelves. Might have been shelves orginally built for lps. Quote

mikeweil Posted March 18, 2004 Report Posted March 18, 2004 Might have been shelves orginally built for lps. Naw, there are LPs on the lowest shelf, and the width is larger. Looks more like a converted bookshelf. He'd have to drill holes and rebuild and buy some extra shelves .... Quote

Claude Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) CD-Rs in the 2 Ikea CD drawers, audiophile CDs and collector's items in the display shelf Edited March 19, 2004 by Claude Quote
undergroundagent Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Now that's an impressive set up!!!! B) Quote
Parkertown Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Thanks for the compliments gang! The unit on the leftmost of the pic actually goes up twice as high as what you can see. Couw-boy: The units with the big gaps came that way. They were left by the previous owner of the house my in-laws moved into a few months back. If you guys think I'm tidy, check out Claude's pics! Now that's supa-dupa sweet looking! All my stuff was done on the cheap/free/discards. I often fantasize about doing a custom-built unit with nice wood, built-in lighting and display shelves. Someday!

Parkertown Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Didn't see a Roland Kirk set though... P.S. There ain't one in my collection either! Quote
Tjazz Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Claude, Where do you buy those CD shelves? Quote

Claude Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) Claude, Where do you buy those CD shelves? I've bought these shelves in Germany a few years ago. On the first picture there is a modular shelf system from Hülsta (Now! Nr 2 series, out of production). I've added horizontal subdivisions for the CDs, by placing a jewel case upside down on every side and a cheap cut-to-measure board on top. That would also work with Bev's bookshelves The CD-R shelf on the last picture is from Ikea's office collection. Every shelf holds 350 CDs and costs $170. Unfortunately it is not available anymore.

Swinger Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Area 2: Left of the patio door. Top: Various contemporary/avanty US things. Second shelf: Up to 1945-ish (and some Aussie jazz and Norwegian/Finnish folk music!) Third shelf: Miles, Coltrane, Mingus etc Fourth shelf: ECMs and similar Fifth shelf: Singers and Swedish folk Sixth shelf: Piano, guitar and Euro jazz that's not ECMish. Bev! Let me know some details about those big,black speakers.Their model for instance! Quote
Tjazz Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 I see your Blue Notes on the top shelves. Quote
couw Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 damn! that doesn't seem to work! MSN wants us to be member to view the pics... Herr Couw, as they say in zat famous American television commercial, 'Can you C me now?' Tell me what you think zee little wooden boxes holding some japanese mini-lps are? I give you a free cd if you guess correctly!!! yas, I see you now! those boxes seem to originally have hidden a nice bottle of wine embedded in wood chips to prevent it from breaking; shove the lid through the furrow in the side planks to open. Nice. Quote

jazzbo Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 (edited) I think I saw those wooden boxes at ze www.objectworhip.com Weizy! Wow, a quick lesson in cabinet making too! I have to say, I'm glad I don't have a way to show my chaotic collection keeping to you very impressive and organized folk! Edited March 19, 2004 by jazzbo Quote
Noj Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 I have to say, I'm glad I don't have a way to show my chaotic collection keeping to you very impressive and organized folk! What, no camera crane and wide angle lens? Quote
jazzbo Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 No, I'm extemely photographically challenged (and disinterested in pointing it at me or my things). Quote
A Lark Ascending Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Bev! Let me know some details about those big,black speakers.Their model for instance! Celestion DL8 it says on the front!!! Nothing special. I think I paid about £200 for them ten years+ back. Quote
Dr. Rat Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 I see your Blue Notes on the top shelves. Ja my boy! TOCJs acquired merely to feed the human impulse to obtain satisfaction for the instinctual needs in accordance with the pleasure-principle!! They should all be sold for cigars and alcoholic beverages that could fill the Zuyder Zee! Commodity Fetishism. We need some commentary out of Marx from the Red Menace! --eric Quote
jazzbo Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 Or not. Anyone done as I have: have cd two deep in shelves? It's not an elegant solution but it does double capacity. . . . Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 19, 2004 Report Posted March 19, 2004 I tried that before I switched to Sauder shelves; damn near drove me crazy. But then having all that wasted space was maddening as well. I guess I should have just bought more CDs! Quote
