LP collection management...what do you guys do?

I have a dilemma.....

My collection is quite modest compared with some other here, but the quality is usually pretty good...I think I must be about 700 or more LP's mainly classical.

I have numerous RCA shaded dogs, Mercury Living Presence, and MFSL for example, that I just dont listen to..I originally bought them because of sentimental reasons and collectability.

Now that I want to wonder into other labels like Linn, Lyrita, UK Columbia SAX, Super Analogue and Reference Recordings which are kind of expensive, I find myself spinning my wheels if I should sell most of my Living Stereo/Presence LP's to buy some other stuff...

You know when it makes good sense to sell some LP's but in the back of your mind something tells me not to...I guess its their historical value that I appreciate more..

How do you guys manage your collection? dont you feel like selling tah stuff that sits on the shelf for long periods of time?

i only have about 400 lps and i dont know where i would put another 400...but i would find a place. so no, do not sell off some of your collection. im 25 years old and i regret selling off some of my cds and video games when i was 12-18 to pay for other stuff.

tastes change yes but you will eventually come back down memory lane, listen to the lps and realize that you dont like the records for nostalgia sake but they are actually great records.

if you have any doubts whatsoever, do not sell.
