I just got a pitch on my FB feed for Wax Stax and it made me wonder what everyone is using for their record collection.

I use Ikea's Ivar and love it, I think Michael Fremer uses it too. They discontinued it for a while but it's back!

That's Ivar in my Avatar! I have about 20,000 Lps with the collection in three rooms.

I have Boltz racks. Love them and very solid. Two 4 shelf racks for RTR tape and two 4 shelf and two 5 shelf for LP's...running out of space.

About 2/3rds of my collection are in Per Madsen racks - about 110 of them, each holding about 100 records. I was one of the Per's first customers and probably was one of his last, before he retired. Great lightweight design. I think there is someone making similar racks. The rest of the collection are in Ikea bookcases - really heavy duty ones - don't remember the name, but I checked on line and they look like they are not sold any more. About 4000 records are in those.

I use Ikea Expedit, but I'm changing over to Ikea Kallax as I need more and they discontinued the Expedit. They are basically the same unit, but do have slightly different dimensions.
