Norstone supports your turntable.
We support your collection. Solid wood cubes that stack from 50 LPs to 800, year over year.
Start small. Stack forever.
One cube. Four cubes. A full station with a turntable on top. Every piece talks to the next — and your collection grows without buying new furniture.
Four reasons Norstone can't match.
Solid wood, every cube
solid wood is FSC-certified, naturally acid-free, and lighter than oak. Particle board absorbs humidity and warps under sustained LP weight.
Designed for 12 inches
Every internal dimension fits a sleeve with breathing room. No 'should fit' — engineered to fit. Tested with first pressings, gatefolds and 180g audiophile releases.
Modular for life
Start at 50 LPs. Stack to 800. Same hardware, same joints, same finish — across years. Generic shelving configurations don't talk to each other.
Ships in 24-48h
Quality-inspected in Madrid, dispatched same week via DHL Express. Custom builds typically need 6-8 weeks production lead time.
Different problems, different brands.
Norstone wins behind the speakers. KTS wins behind the records.
Built homes for real collections.
Customer photos. Real lighting. Real collections from 80 to 1,200 LPs.
Everything before you commit.
Some Norstone racks include LP shelves, but the primary engineering goes into equipment isolation and audiophile geometry. For dedicated vinyl storage at scale, KTS is the more focused tool.
Depends on the bottleneck. If your turntable, amp and speakers need a proper foundation: Norstone. If your records are stacking on the floor: KTS. Many collectors run both.
Norstone uses MDF, glass and metal — chosen for vibration isolation in Hi-Fi context. KTS uses solid wood — chosen for archival preservation of LPs. Different materials, different priorities.
Norstone audiophile racks: €200-€800+. KTS modular cubes: €54 per cube, €188 for 4 (200+ LPs). Different products, different price logic.
KTS: 30-day full returns. Norstone: typical EU retailer 14-day.
