How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own?

The "how much did you spend on your system?" thread got me to wondering...how much software does the typical Audiogoner have? And what is it's value, as a percentage of your hardware? As for me: 100 DVDs, 330 CDs, 250 LPs...total value about 30-40% of my total A/V hardware. I feel guilty...a cousin of mine boasts 2000 CDs and 8000 LPs!

30 DVDs; 95 LDs; 5000 CDs; 25 SACDs; 800 LPs. Don't know percentage cost of my hardware. Mostly listen to music, but also enjoy some good movies, like Withnail and I (found it on LD) and Baghdad Cafe (also LD). Both are hysterical comedy/tragedies.

About 900 CDs and about 500 LPS (down from about 800 many years ago, not to mention the ones I didn't keep even before CDs came along); No DVDs--IMO there's nothing out there (at least in the U.S.) worth spending more than the cost of a tape rental to watch.

The value of my software is far in excess of the value of my hardware--roughly $12-13,000 (conservatively) vs. about $3500, or $4500 if you count older gear that's been moved to second-system status.

About 1000 CDs and a couple hundred VHS tapes. These represent about 40% of stereo system value. Happy Listening. Craig
