How many records do you own?


I sure this has been asked, but our collections grow and change. How many do you have and what kinds of music do you have? Where do you get most of your pressings?

I have around 4000, 1/4 - 1/3 are classical, 1/4 are folk and bluegrass, 1/4 jazz and the rest rock. Would like more Jazz.
I buy most of mine from garage sales and used record stores.
Just now finding out about new pressings and 180-220 gram discs!!!!

About 1,400, predominately classical, but some terrific jazz and blues recordings. Used to have three times as many but gave most away years ago. I dumped B and C-quality recordings and performances mostly, nothing I was in love with. My wife, who plays piano and horn and composes for fun, appreciates LPs more than CDs and chides me still for unloading so many. Frankly, my turntable setup (a legacy rega planar 3 with grace cartridge) doesn't do the best of them justice. Still, we continue to buy LPs at second hand shops when they look interesting. I only bought a couple of "new" vinyl recording in the past decade however. Lacking a really good turnatable, I don't see the point.
