How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?

So far I own around 300 vinyl albums all purchased in a last 20 years. Even while I listen to for about 10 albums a week it seems I want to keep adding more and more to my library. I wonder if there is a point when one says it's enough, there is no point to add more as there is no time or an interest to listen to them all. How many do you have? How much time it look to put it together? How many of them do you really listen?

I've got probably 3 or 4 thousand, down from about 10 at the peak. Everything that survived The (latest) Purge is elite and gets spinned. Still too many though - i'm just sentimental about stupid stuff. There are so many great records out there, and the older i get, the more i realize how little i've heard. It's a lifelong thing for me, for better or worse - the journey never ends. YMMV

@chakster sounds like you have an amazing collection. i love a lot of that same music and own a few gems, but i'm not above reissues if the ogs are scarce enough- can't afford to be at this point! some older diggers of my acquaintance built A1 r&b/funk/soul collections in the mid 90s-early 00s because the vinyl was so cheap. some of those guys could retire now if they sold their records off, but they never will!
