Having the VPI on that stand is scaring the hell out of me!

Don't worry. I assure you it is rock solid. You can't see it, but there are Symposium Rollerblocks in between the Symposium Ultrashelf and the VPI MDF stand. The turntable is coupled and decoupled very nicely.

Wow...that is one very nice set up shaizada. I'm sure you'll enjoy the new music you'll be getting soon.

Some great setups here!
I finally moved into my new apartment. Mostly everything is still in boxes/bags strewn about the place, but my music room is coming along pretty nicely.

Nice setup tapehiss...I wish I had a setup like yours. I'm still hesitant on a vinyl setup coz I know so little about them and fear about the setup/maintenance effort. But it does sound very appealing.
nice to see another nottingham analogue deck here

The outer ring on some of these kits, that's pressing down on the vinyl then, flattening?
Does it come as standard equipment with some TTs?

Is that IKEA's Expedit? No problemas with the weight? According to them, it's spec'd for max 13kg. One packed cube must be twice that, and maybe 20kg on most of those cubes in your pic?

The rigs here are awesome. Hopefully, I'll get one one day too.

Yep, that's a 4x4 Expedit. And the table holding my gear is also an Expedit (2x4). In fact every single piece of furniture in that room is from IKEA!
As far as weight problems, I'm not very concerned. There are so many people that store their records in Expedits, and with good reason: just look at it -- it was clearly designed for them! I've seen many pictures of 5x5's stacked much more heavily than mine, and have read only positive testimonies from people who have been using them for many years. It sure feels sturdy enough to me. Of course now that I say that, it'll probably be crumbled to the floor when I get home today!

I did call the IKEA support right here in Scandiland, and "LP... oh, I couldn't tell you. But 13kg, hope that helps".
Looking at it, an LP shelf is indeed what it is, so I asked the support girl if it really isn't commonly used as an LP storage shelf? "Sorry, I have no idea. Furniture for LPs?" Well, knowing my countrymen, we have always and by law rated >26kg limits at <13kg.
It's an LP shelf. A commonly used LP furniture. Thanks, tapehiss.

I've also got the Expedit, It's the perfect size for LP's. Lot's of people around here use it and I don't think anyone has had weight issues with it.
