Love music? Then you’ll know that there’s nothing better than listening to your favourite LP on record. Alas, while sound-focused listeners recognise that vinyl sounds better than digital, owning records does present a problem that Spotify users have to contend with, and that’s that they can be bulky and difficult to store. A record is only worthwhile if it’s in good condition.
So how should you store your vinyl records? Let’s take a look.
Handling Your Records
Your records sound great, but they’re also delicate. It doesn’t take much for records to pick up a scratch or scuff that will compromise the quality of the sound. Whenever you’re handling your records, be sure to do so carefully. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to only touch the outer edge and the innermost ring of a record. That’ll leave the actual music part of the record untouched.
Displaying Records In Your Home
Looking to keep an eye on your records and even make them part of your home’s decoration? Then invest in a turntable stand with built-in storage. Just be sure to have your coolest record at the front.
How to Pack and Store Your Records
Your records will stand the test of time if they are stored safely and securely in an area free from debris and other potentially damaging factors. Play your records upright in a robust cardboard box or specific record box, and then store that box at a self storage unit like those offered here at Fairy Meadow Self Storage. With that, you’ll have peace of mind that your valuable record collection is kept safe.
