@mikelavigne I agree. I have 28,700 LPs/7,000 CDs/7,000 78s. I stopped purchasing jazz LPs (so many great but expensive recordings) and substituted CD versions. So many are absolutely wonderful. I have good quality audio gear and a great room so that's my advantage. I intend to eliminate about 8,000 LPs and 2,000 78s over time (I've sold 18,000 records over the years) as I am a listener and not a collector (hence like @millercarbon, I listen to music almost always absent doing chores, just in the listening room).
