Transcription Audio 211's
The last ones Simon made

I'm sure I saw them on eBay not that long ago, look beautiful.

 

[norton]

They are fantastic things
About 30k each
I'm running GE 211 valves

 

[bigrod]

I have a room upstairs where most are kept
Rotate regularly

I’d have to get the CDs stored upright . You’ve got to keep taking a stack out when you want a bottom one .they used to stack them flat in the local charity shops until I politely asked them to do otherwise .. it used to take me ages to go through them .. specially when they we’re also stored close to the floor ..

 

[audio_PHIL_e]

specially when they we’re also stored close to the floor ..

I won't store any frequently accessed item close to the floor (exception = the 6 way mains block with a rocker switch on the end that I can poke with the end of my walking stick)

 

[norton]

Funny you should say that
My daughter's coming round one weekend to help me sort them out
Last count a while ago was over 9000 so not an easy task

I like this idea, but didn’t construct it due to cost, durability, carpets, etc.

An update on storage developments. You may remember the above idea. Well, “where there’s a will, there’s a way”.

I decided to have a go at problem solving the dilemma of my current CD, and DVD purchases, and lack of storage space.. My drawers were full, and the CD’s were strewn in a disorderly manner across my listening room window sills. Much to the annoyance of my wife.

Fast forward, and over the last 3/4 days, I have been painstakingly constructing some shelves, to fit into one of the windows below. Not just any old shelves, but collapsible, movable shelves.

The above window is seldom opened, and faces directly onto the inside of my greenhouse. When I am watching films or TV, I usually have the blind down, and by the time I’m finished, I am normally too tired, and forget to open them again.

By only using scrap reclaimed wood, I have constructed the following “Hinged” shelves, to fit inside the window space.
I appreciate they are currently “rough & ready”, but hasten to add that the total cost has been £4 for two Piano hinges, £3 for assorted screws, and £4 for corner braces. A total expenditure of £11. Plus of course, the blood, sweat, and tears*.

This is the unfinished shelving, which I may get around to “finishing off”, though unlikely. Although it can be seen as rough, with cuts, marks and various holes, they are hidden out of view when closed.

The above picture is the opened version, allowing access to the window if required.

The above is the finished “closed” shelves, in situ for additional CD’s etc.

The above final photo, with all of my new purchases, and many of my older collection, which until now, has been relatively difficult to access. I’ll sort them chronologically and alphabetically at the weekend.

The response from my wife, “So you’ve blocked the window off, and won’t allow any light in. Give you an inch, and you’ll take a mile”

”Thanks dear”.

*Blood Sweat & Tears, a good name for a band, and appropriate for all the effort.

Its old skool for me, 1000 old LPs and some tapes (plus CDs( in various storage locations round the house with 3 Hi Fi systems.

Wow that’s a wonderful solution and a great price of work.

Seems that you are into vintage Nad? I just missed out on a really mint inside and out 3020.

Nice, I started out with a 3120 back in the day as a new amp. Been thru many amp brands over the years- even a DIY 120W/channel Mosfet job that used the 3120 as a preamp for many years. But have managed to collect a 1020B, 3155 and 2140 along the way.

Not my image and not my storage.
Not long back from a week in Kefalonia, beautiful island, lovely people and great food. It’s a shame I found out about the Manifiko Cafebar in Sami after I returned. I’ll have to wait until next time.

If you back the shelves with clear perspex instead then you will let light through where there are gaps in the CD's - it might help pacify the missus... Just a thought

Good idea, but nothing would pacify my missus .

 

[Bazzer]

Cd's imo will come full circle and become absolute treasure again in the not so distant future…

I thought that but I've changed my mind , vinyl has that retro chiche and so does cassette but CD is up against streaming and unless that goes belly up I think CD is finished .

 

[luxury_scruff]

I'm buying much more CD's at the moment, so that rear wall is going to get some shelving. I'll have to be cute around the turntable lid, but it's do-able.

Thats very neat and compact I like tidy

 

[luxury_scruff]

Thanks. Not ideal placement, but I've got the system sounding nice.

Guiseley eh? I'm originally from down the road in Idle. Ex Wharfedale R&D, then marketing staff in the mid to late 1980's.

This is even more tidy and where I have stored my CDs. https://innuos.com/zen_mini_mk3/ Well apart from the originals in the garage
