3500 CD's, 800 SACD's, 40 DVD-A's, 10,000 Lps, 125 RTR tapes....and a music server.
music server with about 20 Hi-rez files, another 1500+ Cd's (from my CD collection) on the server. i do plan on expanding my hirez file collection.
10,000 Lps; of which about 3000 are played regularly, another 3000 'B' list are cleaned and cataloged, and when i'm in the mood i'll go thru the remaining 4000 and pull a few out to inspect and play from time to time.
i have about 100 50's and 60's RTR tapes in 1/4" 7 1/2 ips format. and i have about 25 15 ips 1/4" master dubs.....which are the stars of my software collection.
i don't own an MP3 or any other low-rez recording (my wife does use an i-pod in the house with some of my CD's in MP3 format.
i do have many hundreds of DVD's and about 150 Blue Ray movies (and approx 50 HD-DVD's). a good amount of those are music videos. those are all in the house in my HT.
overall; i find that since that my music focus and even my format focus seems to change over time; that some music that i did not connect with to begin with i'll come back to later and understand; or i'll get back into some of my music that i had forgotten about. i like to think i've evolved musically over the last 15-20 years of serious music collecting. i cannot imagine getting rid of music; it's too personal. i'm a gear-head for sure, but it's the music that matters.
in the last few years i've not been able to afford to add as much new music to my collection; and i've noticed how that makes it less fun. new music is the lifeblood of this hobby.
