Vinyl collecting is part ritual, part reflection. Every record carries history, and every setup tells you something about the person behind it. Recordbuilds is built on that exact idea. That your listening space is as much a part of your story as the music that fills it.
Recordbuilds is a platform for people who care about the listening experience, not just the gear. It brings together curated build guides, real listening rooms, and community showcases that reveal how collectors live with their music.
On their Builds page, you’ll find systems across every level, from thoughtful entry level rigs to full custom setups that balance design, sound, and personality. There’s also a Build of the Month feature that highlights real collectors and their spaces, showing that great sound doesn’t require corporate polish or a six-figure budget.
This isn’t about showing off. It’s about sharing how music lives in the real world.
I’ve met Inki, the founder of Recordbuilds, a few times over the past year, and every conversation leaves the same impression: this is a project built on passion and love. He talks about Recordbuilds the way most people talk about music itself, with warmth, humor, and a sense of creative energy that’s contagious.
You can tell he isn’t chasing trends or building for prestige. He’s building for the same reason many of us collect, because the physical, personal side of music matters. Because a good record setup isn’t just a pile of components; it’s a space where sound becomes something you can feel.
Recordbuilds captures that energy. It’s as much about people as it is about speakers, cartridges, and shelving. It’s about what it means to create a home around the act of listening.
For years, the vinyl community has focused on pressings, mastering chains, and labels. The details that live inside the groove. Recordbuilds brings the conversation back to the other side: the physical context. The rooms, the corners, the cables, the shelves.
Because sound is spatial. The way you hear your favorite record depends as much on where you’re sitting as what’s spinning. And that’s what Recordbuilds gets right. It celebrates the experience of listening as something personal, tactile, and alive.
You don’t need the most expensive turntable or rarest cartridge. You just need a space that feels like you.
Recordbuilds reminds us that setup is part of the art.
Start with your room. Let your space define your system, not the other way around.
Make storage and display intentional. Good shelving is preservation and presentation in one.
Treat your setup like an instrument - something that evolves over time.
Share your build. The Recordbuilds community thrives on inspiration and feedback.
Your setup should grow with you, just like your collection does.
Next time you’re in your listening room, take five minutes to look at it like a stranger. Notice what it says about you. The colors, the layout, the way the records are stacked. If it tells your story, you’ve already built something meaningful.
Here at Moose Vinyl, we love what Inki is creating. It’s community, it’s design, and it’s pure love for sound. The same kind of love that keeps all of us collecting.
