Solidsteel Black VL Series Hi-Fi Rack and Vinyl Storage

Italian hi-fi furniture maker Solidsteel releases the VL Series in black after its Munich show debut.

Solidsteel launched its VL Series in 2018 to serve the audiophile and vinylista with stylish component support and record storage all in a single solution. Initially available in a walnut finish with a choice of black or white poles, the Italian company announced a black-shelved option at High End Munich earlier this year.

We're told the VL Series has proved extremely popular, which makes sense as having your components and records on the same piece of furniture makes everything more convenient. Furthermore, as this is a Solidsteel product, you also benefit from technical-qualitative characteristics such as vibration control, stability, and Italian style.

Now there is a cool all-black version that will fit most environments and interior designs, whether classic or contemporary. After all, a well-made black suit or dress is perfect for any occasion.

The VL Series features the same frame as Solidsteel's S Series, which includes galvanised screws and powder-coated anodised aluminium pillars filled with a phono-absorbing sponge. Meanwhile, the 1280x410mm shelves are 22mm thick and finished with high-quality polymeric laminates. You also get adjustable spikes and S Series Pads to protect your flooring should you need them.

Each shelf can fit up to 120 LPs, with the standard distances between the shelves being 325 mm between the first and second shelf and 225 mm for the subsequent shelves. You can also add an extra component or record shelf via the VL Extra Kit 225 (inner shelf + 225 mm frame kit for audio components) and VL Extra Kit 325 (inner shelf + 325 mm frame kit for more records).

The Solidsteel VL Series in Black or Walnut is available now, starting at £700 for the two-shelved VL-2, with the VL-3 costing £970 and VL-4 priced at £1,260.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
