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.

Dear Tbromgard: Nice thread. I think that could be interesting to know how many of those big collection LPs are listening their owners by month?

Btw, I own around 6K+ an started in the 60's.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Dear Oilmanmojo: I know that for many of us our LPs are part of each one " collection " and as a collectors we try to " collect " almost everything we can but as audiophiles: how many of our LP's collections we hear each month?, I know that we heard/hear not only a very small number but we heard and listen frequently to our favorities.

Maybe we are listening not more than 400 different LPs over the time even maybe less.

Of course that we have two " hats " the LP's collector and the music lover one and even that are interrelated are two different subjects.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Dear Chazro: Yes, from a collector point of view I agree with you, that's the main subject why we are LP's collectors.

My wife ask me time to time: why if you listen to almost the same 400-500 LPs don't put on sale the other 5.5K+?, well she is not a collector, I'm along along an audiophile.

Regards and enjoy the music,
