I have about 6000, mostly collected in the early 2000s after dumping my early stuff in the 80s and getting out of the hobby for a while. Started back up and went directly to vinyl. 1st 4 or 5000 were used, last 1000 are new or nearly new. I have replaced a number of classic albums with 180g or 45rpm stuff. Yeah, its expensive if I think about it, but spread over years its not too bad, maybe 2 grand a year for the last 10 years.
How many LP's do you own? How long did it take?
I started to collect vinyl in the late 80's, after it was demonstrated to me (to my ears) that vinyl sounded better than cds. I was fortunate at the time that people were dumping their vinyl collections. I was able to buy great LP's in mint condiiton for .10 cents each or so at garage sales...My have things hve changed. The vast majority of LPs I buy now are new and cost between $14 to $50 bucks each. Used LP'P's can go for more if its rare. So, how many LP's do you own and how long did it take you to amass your collection? I currently have about 2000 LPs.
