Vinyl Storage Box or Vinyl Blocks? What's the difference?
Vinyl records are not just a piece of music history, but a tangible medium for music lovers that many people still prefer over digital music. However, storing vinyl records requires careful consideration to avoid damage and ensure their longevity. Many traditional vinyl storage boxes can protect your collection from dust, but they are not always the best option for preserving the quality of your vinyl. Here's why modular vinyl record storage cubes, specifically the Vinyl Blocks by Hammer and Feather Furniture, are a better choice!
Firstly, at Hammer and feather furniture our modular storage cubes 'Vinyl Blocks' are more versatile than traditional vinyl storage boxes. Vinyl Blocks allow you to build a custom storage system that fits your needs, as you can stack and arrange them in any configuration you like. This is perfect for people who have limited storage space or those who want to add to their collection over time. Plus, you can add a flip bin to the system, which is perfect for your heavy rotation vinyl, or even just to show off you cover art!
Secondly, our hardwood modular storage cubes provide better protection for your vinyl records. Traditional storage boxes often have rough edges and are made of cheap materials such as unfinished plywoods and softwoods that can cause scratches and wear to your vinyl. The Vinyl Blocks that are handcrafted here in our Melbourne workshop are made from solid hardwood, available in either Victorian ash or American black walnut, and come with recessed feet holders. These are designed to securely hold your vinyl records with an included 'rear stopper', which stops and vinyl records from falling out the back whilst keeping the front looking neat and tidy. Moreover, the grip on the bottom of the legs provides extra stability and reduces the risk of damage from accidental bumps.
Thirdly, modular storage cubes are aesthetically pleasing and can enhance the look of your space. The Vinyl Blocks by Hammer and Feather Furniture have a beautiful design and come in two hardwood options, which can complement any décor. You can also opt for a smooth finished top, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your storage system. This makes them not only functional but also a stylish piece of furniture that can be displayed in your home. All of our vinyl blocks are handcrafted by experienced furniture makers.
Finally, did you know that our modular storage cubes can help improve the sound quality of your vinyl records? We also make an isolation platforms that helps reduce vibrations and improve the sound quality of your turntable. This is essential for audiophiles who want to get the most out of their vinyl records. Best yet, they are adaptable to the vinyl blocks system, or as just a stand alone benchtop piece!
In conclusion, modular vinyl record storage cubes like the Vinyl Blocks by Hammer and Feather Furniture offer several benefits over traditional vinyl storage boxes. They provide a customisable storage space, are made from higher quality materials, have features that protect your records, and offer add-ons that enhance the overall listening experience. If you're a serious vinyl collector, it's worth considering investing in a modular storage system to keep your collection organised and protected.
