Here is the ad for the vinyl record storage box I use, I received it as a gift. You can order them with or without finish, I completed mine and added my own casters. They also make a version which appears to be pine for less money.

Looks great... pine version is still a bit pricey, however could make a great casting mold for someone with more pulpable tastes.

But, @bcowen's stringent standards may require forged cardboard only - hand wrought rot with just scissors and packing tape.

Well personally I could not have bought the lumber and tooling to make myself just one box for $300 on the more expensive box. I bet I would have spent at least three days in woodworking not to mention the learning curve. I just made one small mistake on box joints and now I have to start all over. That was after several practice runs lol.

I was actually thinking of stacking the Lokius on top of the Aegir, then the Freya S on top of the Lokius....what could go wrong?

As an Aegir owner I can tell you that those things get WARM.
I wouldn't put anything on top of it.
(but you were joking, right? )

While I can appreciate the work and artistry of a wood LP cabinet, I’m still cheap when it comes to practical things. My vinyl sits in $8 IKEA bins.


Maybe if I ever get my own house I’ll come up with something fancier.

Yes, I was joking. In reality my Aegir gets its own shelf.

IME, if you make a dozen big mistakes on a box joint, no one notices the one small one.

So… Things should still work just fine if you wired your Lokius between your preamp and power amp.

Yep. Tried that layout (with Loki Max) and it worked just fine.

But personally, I prefer to add my sonic eleven herbs and spices to the signal before it gets attenuated. So at least for me, Lokius always goes between the DAC and the headphone amp or preamp.

Me too, so I "moved" (virtually, not physically) Loki Max to sit between my sources (using the SE input for my phono preamp, and the balanced input for Yggdrasil) and my (balanced) preamp. Works perfectly. Highly recommended. <g>

p.s. - what is really amazing is the level of control that these EQs deliver; none of the pots on the Loki are further than three clicks off null and the difference in the overall system's sound is spectacular. Loki is really helping me get around some of the limitations of my listening room and also helping me integrate the RELs properly. Another great piece of Schiit from our favorite audio equipment manufacturer!

Fortunately the music doesn't care about fancy storage

Cooooollll!!!!

A freaking cast front fascia on a power amplifier... I'll bet that was inexpensive.

I have no association whatsoever with the maker of my vinyl cabinet, I just happen to like quality hardwoods. Each to their own, this one is right for me. I have hundreds of other albums stored in a wooden cabinet in my shop, I just wanted some place where I could keep fifty or so for my day to day listening. It is also on casters so it is easy move around and get out of the way if I want.

Closeout Yggy OGs dropped to $1999 today. I got one of the Black 115V units, who got the other one?

PSA, the Silver MIL is a cool $950 cheaper than the equivalent Yggy+ ($1599 vs. $2549). Probably the cheapest way to get into any Yggy for quite some time to come.

Check the shipping cost though lol, I think it is around $71 or so.
Today I will be working with lace wood and probably canary wood. I also have mesquite and olive wood on the way for future builds. I just looked and if any of you are wanting to build mini speakers I have extra cabinets ready in ambrosia maple and canary wood. I need to find more space.

$400 with shipping and a lid. I could go $200 for what looks like could hold a couple thousand $$ of lps, but $400 is getting up there. I need something that isn't open to dust, however.

I'd rather spend the money on mini speakers.

No explanation needed for pointing people down a helpful path
Your commentary and plethora of hand crafted woodworking goodness is one of the reasons I enjoy visiting this thread!

Some are related to audio, even Schiit audio.

i was thinking combo (high idling bias) power amp and panini grill.
