Is there an end.......ever?


Well I am nearing the point where I am happy with the sound of my system, and starting to funnel my funds into software. I have a modest CD collection and with all of the music out there that I want I don't think I will be happy with my software for a very long time(if ever!). So the question is: are any of you out there happy with the size of your music collection that is to say not buying much if any?

For the record I have 1000+ cd's and could easily make that 5 fold, if I had the money burning a hole in my pocket that bad :) and I am sure I would have missed many "must haves" it is a curse!! Any thoughts please share.

I started in 1964 with the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, I'm still enjoying the journey and the end is not in sight.
Tim; some good posts above. I also have 1000 + CDs-- and growing. For me at least, as Mike says, there is no end because looking for and finding new artists/music is certainly one of the most enjoyable and exciting aspects of this hobby. Then there IS the time factor as Jacob mentions. I once calculated how long it would take to listen to 1000 CDs with an average of 40 minutes per CD, and well, it's a LOT. Happy hunting. Craig
Mikelavigne,

I too have recently 'connected' (great word) with just those two CDs. If fact, I just bought plane and concert tickets to see Nickel Creek in September. I wish I could find music like that a little more often...I go to the music stores once every couple of weeks, but I rarely find recordings like those.

I remember when I went and discovered Norah Jones...I listened to the whole CD, bobbin' head and all. I remember thinking, 'All this for $9 BUCKS!?!?' I think we will be hearing from her for a very, very long time, or at least I hope so.

I certainly don't a large music collection yet, as it took me a while to learn to make a copy of the original source, and listen to CD-Rs. Ruined a lot of disks that way. But, I certainly do love going to the record shop in the anticipation of finding that CD that brightens you whole day/week/month.

Good Hunting!

I am at that point in my main system. Any changes would require a major change/upgrade in every component to make any difference worth while. Not worth the time or expense for the forseeable future. Just playing with tweeks or cables from time to time.
Thanks for all of the coments so far. I would have to concur that Norah Jones is a GREAT new artist, I saw her CD and it was $6.99 and I thought "gee she looks hot" and bought it, little did I know she was incredibly talented as well.
