Most of us old music lover audiophiles have large record collections. I still have my Father's pre recorded tapes. He had a wonderful old tube Ampex back then. I never counted. I always got rid of albums that were either poor pressings or music I did not like for some reason but back then you had to be reasonably good to get a recording contract. Sometimes I bought an album simply because I liked the cover. You can't do that anymore because there is so much garbage out there. Fortunately it is becoming easier to audition music online. Having a large collection is fun because you can always pull a record that you have not listened to for years so it is almost like playing new record. Also records have memories attached to them and you can bring those memories back by listening like when my first girlfriend dumped me or the first time I played Meet the Beatles on my Zenith portable with a cobra tonearm. I can smell the tubes. When you make a significant upgrade to your system like a new set of speakers or a much more powerful amp it is almost like having an entirely new collection. Music is eternal all this other stuff not.
So just how much vinyl do YOU own?
Let's hear some numbers!
And when do you think you might have enough to last your lifetime?
Or is it like horsepower ... Too much is never enough!
Do you have regular clearouts or just keep adding until the floorboards start to creak!
All just for fun people!
