We also need a shot of your record collection!

About 25 years,... 🙄 and I'm not at all sure if I'm a bit slow here? 
So, you're asking a valid question, I think. 👍

It is more of a life style than a hobby. I'm on 40+ years.  Think about it, everything is changing all the time:  media, taste, income, technology, components, sources, etc.  The internet opened up the used market.  I look at it like leasing my equipment without a time constraint. Don't worry just enjoy the journey.    

About 48 years.

+1 testrun! Decades later (starting in '76) I now have enough gear to equip a store! Lately I have been buying more LPs and CDs. As if I don't have enough already!
