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.

raul, nice add on question. I dont get to listen as much as i like but not unusual on weekend to do about 15-20 lp's listening to both sides. i do know there are a few that i have not listened to at some point but most i have listened too at least once. Some of my favorites i listen to each month.
Ooops...just came across a yard sale... I tool all the stones, doors, zep, who, Beatles, kinks, who, Dylan, hendrix etc for nada...back yo to near 1k lps
About 2000, starting in about 1966. There was a big hiatus in the 80's and 90's, when a growing family was the priority. I restarted seriously in about 1998.

The kids, by the way, don't get any cheaper. Why does nowone tell you that before you start a family. Still costing me well into their 20's. Not that I begrudge a penny, sorry, cent.
I dont listen as much as i would like to...still on the weekends I manage to spend 2-3 hours listening, which sometimes developes into an all day affair...depends on what I have going...I dont have kids, so I have a good amount of free time.
Dear Oilmanmojo: I know that for many of us our LPs are part of each one " collection " and as a collectors we try to " collect " almost everything we can but as audiophiles: how many of our LP's collections we hear each month?, I know that we heard/hear not only a very small number but we heard and listen frequently to our favorities.

Maybe we are listening not more than 400 different LPs over the time even maybe less.

Of course that we have two " hats " the LP's collector and the music lover one and even that are interrelated are two different subjects.

Regards and enjoy the music,
R.
