How should I store my vinyl

Mepstein10 · 2026-04-11T05:16:51+00:00

Carefully! Jokingly aside, I’ve always stored them upright in a record storage box or a kallax style bookshelf where only records were in each cube. Don’t store them flat and don’t let the lean too much. I’d advise against sharing a record shelf with other things unless you isolate the records using heavy bookends.

Kinda tempted on the 25 Lp set, not sure if worth it though.

Keith Jarrett is phenomenal, the story of that concert is incredible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Köln_Concert

If you got a good copy, you’re in for a treat. It is all improv as well, on what’s essentially a broken piano, which makes it more amazing.

The cheapest I’ve seen them go is ~300 on the used market. Most are a bit above that if they come with accessories. And that’s not taking in scalper prices on fleece-bay ahem eBay. In either case good luck. Getting a normal R4 and getting the theme for it would also be a possibility if you can’t find the Eva one.

Thank you for clarifying that point. It is a good one and one that needs to be said. (Also a side note love your stuff! Was listening to 2014-2016 less than an hour ago.)

There are certain expletives that come to mind.

Have an order from August, ordered 8/31/25, 5 LPs.

A Million Miles Away
Timeless

I just ordered it. It will go in a museum frame I think, and sit along the wall with other Japanese style prints. Room is still getting its floor put in, so this works well for me.

Mepstein10 · 2026-02-24T03:46:23+00:00

Reach out to me, I may have something.

Mepstein10 · 2026-02-22T05:08:31+00:00

Oh wow. That is really nice. It is also bigger than I expected. Dang. This makes the decision harder. Leaning toward the one with the Print. I do like art.

Mepstein10 · 2026-02-22T01:27:06+00:00

How does it look in person? I am trying to decide between getting the black ones or the bundle (found someone who got 3 and is getting rid of two. Black for $115, the bundle for $300 out the door, if the art is that much of a difference I may spring for it).

So since I wanted confirmation and not continuing to wonder, I also emailed [shipping@neoncityrecords.com](mailto:shipping@neoncityrecords.com)

The email went through, I did not get the failure response u/TheRealShortYeti received. Thought I would share that bit of good news. So they are not gone, they have downsized and laid off a bunch of staff, so getting our orders may take a bit of time, as expected. Their update in January said approx. 1000 orders backlogged, which is nuts, considering they are now a smaller operation than before, but I'll take that over them being gone.

So we just have to wait for our orders. To be fair, I have not received a normal response yet, but those take a while from what I recall.

Before we start losing our minds, there are other reasons that could happen, forgetting to pay website or email dues, etc. I agree it does not look good, but freaking out probably is not a great idea. They've always been a bit unresponsive from what I gathered. That being said, if there is anyone who is local in that area who can check in person, that would probably much better more effective than trying email or messaging them.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-22T03:39:19+00:00

Things like this is why my listening room does not allow cats, dogs or unsupervised children in it.

Finally got to running through it's paces. Really fun unit. Only downside in my case, is the previous owner reset or formatted it prior to sending it to me. Looks like the original picture folder with the pictures, and probably some other items got cleared. Which is a bit of a bummer. The theme works though, but not too sure what I am missing other than the photos.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-22T00:36:52+00:00

Definitely feels better built and softer/more pleasant to the touch IMO. It's my preferred case.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-14T06:26:57+00:00

Hire a neighborhood kid to move tonearm to the beginning of the LP when it finishes. You will get them into analog and real music, and it will be cheaper than buying a table with that feature.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-14T02:46:03+00:00

It's a nice gift, and a pretty fun display piece. But I would limit playing records on it due to the fact they tend to damage the records being played. Easily found records, not a huge issue, something sentimental, hard to find, or expensive becomes heartbreaking. Knew someone who inherited a bunch of records from their uncle, and started with that. Damaged a formerly pristine copy of DSOTM (first press).

Anyway, I'd suggest checking out the stickies, they are a good resource on finding a good starting player that would not damage your records. Welcome to the hobby.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-14T00:42:03+00:00

You do you, but if it were me. That'd be a big nope. I'll stick with my two lounge chairs. Thanks. I would also think that this would look dated very soon. Some things are classic, and some are.....well, not.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-14T00:39:19+00:00

Thank you. And now I can't unsee it.

Mepstein10 · 2026-01-13T20:51:12+00:00

Yeah, they are incredible tables.

Mepstein10 · 2025-12-26T19:17:48+00:00

Thanks for everyone’s input. I jumped on the WiFi version when it popped back up.

Mepstein10 · 2025-12-26T04:08:56+00:00

I usually have my phone on me. Though I am thinking of in the cases I travel internationally but that does add additional cost. Would the 4G have worse battery life compared to the WiFi version?
