I’m finally done swapping and switching and am settled in to retirement with this system. It’s been a great journey with great sound all along the way.
Added these speakers about 4 yrs ago to replace my much-loved Genesis 500. Heard them at my local audio shop and loved the detail and soundstage.

Timbernation custom maple racks and amp platforms
These are fantastic quality wood racks you can order in whatever thickness and configuration and wood grain you prefer. They arrive packed flat but are very easy to fit together. Sturdy and gorgeous.
Timbernation LP storage
I ordered one of my Timbernation racks with a shelf for LP storage. Chris provided custom dividers, stoppers so the LPs don’t slide back too far, and side pieces so they don’t fall out of the sides.
Mapleshade 4” maple platform
I use this under my LP12 just because I had it and needed to store it somewhere.
