I have only about 700 LP's and 350 CD's, mostly purchased in the past 2 yrs. The finest I have seen is approx. 60,000 LP's and I think he had 4 or 5 CD's. I buy both LP's and CD's as the music is often available on one and not the other. I also try to get old original LP's but they can be tough to find in good condition. I hope to get a camera soon to display the small collection and system soon. But camera money can buy more LP's!
How's your music library?
When looking through the systems on A-gon, people's music libraries are frequently missing, not shown, or possibly not in the same room. After all the $$$ spent on one's system, I'd like to know what's behind all of this. After all, it is the entire raison d'être for audiomania.
I had a collection of about 200+ LPs that I've recently sold or given away; finally able to emotional divorce myself from the vinyl I started acquiring as a teenager. I began building my CD collection about 15-16 years ago. It's now 636 titles and nearly 700 discs. It spans the globe and periods from the Renaissance though 20th century, BeBop to Acid Jazz, Afro Celt to Zap Mama, and a fair dose of Rock & Pop. Recently, the fastest growing genre has been 20th century music which has surpassed earlier "classical" music but still trailing the Jazz and World sections. A modest collection certainly, and compared to a friend who has a library (unfortunately uncatalogued) of well over 2000 titles, quite modest. He's gotta music library! I suspect there are quite a few other impressive libraries out there. Please tell us.
