Thanks to (a very generous) Scott stormyuklondon1 I have this very weekend acquired a Henley Design stand. Nothing charged for it, just that I collect it and with the proviso that I act appropriately in turn.
I have wanted one for a while - when one last came up, it wouldn't fit into the room as then configured (this is a verysmall hifi room).
Well, collected it yesterday morning (nice 5 hour round trip on the nation's motorways) and spent most of the afternoon 're-arranging'. Bugger me if this is not a thankless task, which I rediscover every time I do it.
Well, I like it so much that I will inflict some pictures on you :lol:
You will note that my old-fashioned tapedeck is too high for the shelf spacing - so one shelf has been left out and the DAC relegated to sitting under the computer printer :lol:
And a little bit closer.
Thanks very much again Scott. I will shortly be offering the predecessor to this rack on the same basis (just need to take a picture or 2, etc). I will also make a suitable donation to the PDSA shortly.
Kevin

And the Yes 'poster' is my computer screen - used to have a full sized one on my bedroom wall in the 70s though

As an educated guess, I’d say it was a Yes Keys to Ascension wallpaper.;)

Nice rack Kev, and nice way of doing things Stormy, after a few threads in here recently where a few wammers were unhappy with the end results of the deals it is nice to see

No, It's nice to see that you take care of your surroundings. I am a tidy person and hate mess, my missus love mess so we are always huffing and puffing about housework.
I do like the Henley Designs racks, they look nice and are really well made. I had to cop out and buy the Atacam Equinox but I'm really happy with it.

Mr Flea ( or can I call you Aural)
I like your CD racks - did you make them yourself or buy? If latter can you disclose your source as I would like some.

Looking good Kevin, but I don't think you have enough vinyl and CDs.
And as for the lack of mess, Mrs TIU has a degree in making a mess. I've given up.

The cd racks are actually a combination of 2 types I found at Argos - but don't think they sell them anymore.
The final rearrangement of my stull is coming soon, with some of these buggers replacing some of what I have now
FLÄRKE
Probably the best modular option I have seen lately
Good luck
