Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably priced audio racks?

I've searched online but it's a lot to sift through. Just need something to hold my turntable, receiver and cd player.

Bought these two at Lagniappe Records recently. Look forward to listening if I ever get a new needle for my player.

I use this from Ikea. It's called "kallax." I modified mine by taking out the divider on the top shelf. My record player sits on top of the shelving unit. My amp and tuner are on the top shelf. I put all my records in the shelves below. I think it looks really nice.



Here's a crappy pic of my old setup:

Vinyl Me Please album of the month is Ben Websters "Soulville" and it's a great album. Gave it a listen and I liked it a lot. Reminds me of Vince Guaraldi.

Vinyl Me, Please release for December is being pushed to January because of some sort of issue at the manufacturer.

I added the Bright Eyes Christmas album to my order so looking forward to that. Also picked up the Lady Gaga/Tony Bennett for my wife and Run the Jewels 1 & 2 online.

Lazaretto is $8.99 from Third Man Records on Cyber Monday.

Just got my Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West vinyl in the mail:



I'm happy to own this limited pressing but I really wish they would have just made it gatefold instead of packing it as two separate cases. It is just awkward and annoying to not have it as all one piece. At least include a jacket or something to hold the two cases together.

What's the best beginner turntable out there that will work with my setup? And how good would the sound quality be?

Your receiver does not have a phono input with a ground, so you will need to get a phono pre-amp before you try hooking up a turntable.

U turn Audio Orbit Turntable is always my recommendation for that. See my OP, it's the one I have. They have a cheap but decent phono pre amp on their website too

What's the best record shop in BR? About to get my late grandpa's player from '57 (got it for his 16th bday) restored and looking to add to my vinyl collection.
