Buying Guide

There is no tool better than a glass-fronted modern audio cabinet for taming all those wires and trailing cables that seem to go with superb sound production. Bundled away to the back of the cabinet, it presents an orderly, even attractive face to the world while keeping your tunes in order. Audio cassettes, CDs and DVDs are all very good at sliding, jostling and falling into the floor if they do not have a secure home.

If you are sufficiently fortunate to have some recordings on vinyl or even older mediums, those can also be kept securely.

Knowing what you want in an audio cabinet can help when selecting the perfect one for your living room, den, study or library. You might even want one for the kitchen if you love to accompany your cooking with good tunes. The location, type of media, and the number of items will all have an influence on your selection.

For example, if you have vinyl, you will want a turntable. If you have older cassette tapes, you might want to invest in turning those items into CDs or DVDs, and simply put the tapes themselves away. But it the tapes are not of particular consequence and you like the way they behave, then a tape player could be important.

CDs and DVDs also do better when they have a secure location that is not subjected to heat – as will most sound media. Finally, if you have an extensive collection of digital music that has either been downloaded or stored in a cloud location, then you will want a player that can handle that, as well.

With these things in mind, you cabinet could range from something small and simple that has a Wi-Fi connection, to quite an elaborate set up encompassing a broad range of media and several playback units. You will also want outlets at the back of the cabinet to facilitate hiding various sorts of wires.

Polished wood is almost always a good choice for any sort of décor. But glass and chrome are also viable choices for a modern audio cabinet. Music, books on tape, and ambient sound can be part of any setting or can be suited to different rooms in the house or changes in mood.

A large entertainment console might be ideal if you have an extensive collection that stretches back to the days when turntables were an essential part of audio playback. If you have only a digital collection, or if most of your vinyl and cassettes have been converted, then you might simply have a dedicated computer that accesses your music collection and have it piped through the house. “Console” takes on a different meaning under those circumstances.

Most people will fall somewhere between these two extremes, with one or two players of various sorts and a need for storage space for various types of music recordings. A glass-fronted case is ideal for keeping sound recordings dust free and somewhat protected from day to day events.
