How many LP's do you own? How long did it take?

I started to collect vinyl in the late 80's, after it was demonstrated to me (to my ears) that vinyl sounded better than cds. I was fortunate at the time that people were dumping their vinyl collections. I was able to buy great LP's in mint condiiton for .10 cents each or so at garage sales...My have things hve changed. The vast majority of LPs I buy now are new and cost between $14 to $50 bucks each. Used LP'P's can go for more if its rare. So, how many LP's do you own and how long did it take you to amass your collection? I currently have about 2000 LPs.

3000+

I'm fortunate in that even before becoming aware of 'Audiophilia', and was playing records on an old BIC TT, I ALWAYS handled my records by the edges, seemed logical. Now I find a lot of my records that are 30-40 yrs old still sound very clean! Of course, running them thru the old Record Doctor helps!

Dear Tbromgard: Nice thread. I think that could be interesting to know how many of those big collection LPs are listening their owners by month?

Btw, I own around 6K+ an started in the 60's.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.

Stopped counting a long time ago. The bell curve is still on the uptick and the beauty is in the hunt. The Nitty Gritty has held up well.
