How BIG is yours?

Thanks for those kind words of encouragement guys... : ) Sean

I've been collecting since the late fiftees and I've stopped counting the LPs long ago. Mostly classical and Jazz though. Goes into many thousands and takes up lots of space. Everytime I had to move house, the movers thought me nuts, which I probably am. One of my dear friends remarked, that if I were to play one after the other without a break, I wouldn't go through a tenth of them before I was to kick the bucket. He's probably right. Cheers,

About 2.500 LPs and +1000 cds. One way of counting LPs is to measure the length of space when tighly stacked. ABout 225 LPs to the metre. So what I'm really saying is, I have a bit over 11 metres in LP, 3 metres of which is jazz & blues (the rest is classical).

AND yes, I would still buy s/ware over the power cord... which is silly IMO, as I would enjoy the cord immediately and all of the time -- whereas, how many times would I listen to my latest version of, say, Mahler's 2nd!!!

BTW, Detlof, I feel for you -- what a nightmare! I happily consent to helping you get rid of some, a few metres, say, of that paper packaged plastic that takes up so much (expensive) space... any time.
Cheers!

Sean. It's okay until you start walking into a room and forget what you came in for. Trust me, 40 is not so bad. Exercise is the key. On topic I once had over 2000 lps and 500 45s and have almost 1200 cds/ I've cleaned my cds out several times so I had more stand space/ When I bought my house I gave away a lot of vinyl I didn't want and kept the gems and favourites, so I'm more around 1000 lps now and still pick up the odd album..for me its more the music, I guess......trust me, if I had the bucks I'd be gear crazy, at least for awhile. Now where did I put that Canadian Tire money? cheers, Bluenose

I've got about 1600 CD's. I was advised to put 500 LP's to sleep about 15 yrs. ago due to a flood that warped them! What a loss, I never reinvested into the LP's.
