I think most of us think about this sometimes. How do you make so your can display favorite records on your wall in your listening room?

The experience is so evocative. Just like browsing the better record stores. Just to be able to look at album covers and remember all the hours we enjoyed the music it represents.  Remember the times of our lives when we first heard the record. Remembering that we actually own this LP that we prize so highly but sometimes forget we even own [or is that just me?].

RecordWall-it does this.

“Proudly made in the USA, RecordWall-it allows record fans to display and change their favorite albums on the wall without the trouble of taking the entire frame apart. With its innovative detachable record post, our record frame supports displaying a picture disc/record instead of just an album cover. Visit http://www.recordwall-it.com to see the many features of RecordWall-it”

RecordWall-it is looking for more dealers., but it is not quite right for our store. Our listening rooms have more windows than wall space, so we couldn’t demo it, but it does look like a cool thing that one would love to be able to use when and if one gets more wall space… 🙂

The Sperling L-1 Heavyweight turntable [featured photo] and Vertere Record Player [photo below] were added to the Audiophile’s Guide to the Galaxy turntables page. The Sperling table was in the Zellaton room at Munich 2014. And the Vertere table is being imported into the U.S. rather recently but seems to have a lot of fans in the rest of the world.

Announcing the latest addition to the Audiophile’s Guide to the Galaxy.

This guide features over 35 foreign-language (non-English) high-end audio blogs and magazines that are online and frequently updated with new articles to read.

If you know of others, please let us know. There are some we know we can’t find in Japan [ Analog magazine] and Hong Kong. We are not including the wealth of DIY sites, saving those for a future addition to the Audiophile’s Guide.

If you cannot read the articles because they are, you know, in a foreign language then you can use the Google Chrome browser to translate, or some other translation tool.

In any case, we can all enjoy the photos and recognize most of the brand names.

For example, the German website HiFi Statement has two (2!) articles on the newish TechDAS Air Force One turntable:

 TechDAS Air Force One, Graham Phantom Elite und TechDAS TDC01 Ti – Teil 1

 TechDAS Air Force One, Graham Phantom Elite und TechDAS 2

The translation sometimes is a little woolly – but still, all good fun 🙂
