How many LP's


Gents;

I'm thinking of taking a jump to a turntable.......& such

I had 700 albums that I " dumped" when cd's arrived.........
Old BIC turntable 
A big "Stupid" move

Good Analog is " the best", to me

Anyway, 

How many albums do you guys have in the " library "?
How many are 45's vs 33's

My thought; as a starter

frozentundra,

3000 LPs. Bought (3) so far this year. Probably 100 in rotation at any given time. Yes; a couple thousand that don't or probably won't get played ever again.

 Been a vinyl guy since 1971.
A friend and I at that time went to a shop every week that sold records (3) for $10. When CD came out and people were dumping their vinyl; I bought a Linn LP 12 and held firm.
Seattle was loaded with used Japanese, Toshiba Pro  Audiophile vinyl as was Juneau, AK. I cleaned them up for cheap.

 I jumped on the 45 rpm wagon since they first started coming out. My upgrade to Lingo power supply was already in place.

May not ever play hundreds / thousands ever again, but would not sell. When people come over; Just the look on their face is worth it. When they hear the system; they are priceless. A lot of great memories.

PS,  Only own 83 CDs ; (4) are test or burn-in CDs.
I have a couple of thousand.  Mostly jazz as that is what I'm into these days.  I have 6 record stores with 5 miles of me and I visit them on a rotating basis.  However, my best stuff comes via Discogs.  Works great as long as you know what you are looking for.  
I peaked a few years ago with around 14,000. Gave a couple thousand to a friend, had a broker sell some (he dealt with the listings and I got 50%), nothing terribly valuable, and when we sold our house, I culled more- so I didn’t have to move crap I wasn’t going to listen to, or 2nd or 3rd or 4th copies of stuff I had better pressings of--I figure 5,000 were transported to Tx. I had some records stashed here, and of course, more comes in -dribs and drabs-
I go record "shopping" in my own stacks I haven’t been through for years. The last several years I’ve been on a hard rock thing- not "classic" rock, but post-psych, pre-prog, proto metal. I’m now dipping back into my classical records (old EMI ASDs, Deccas, Londons), and I have taken an interest in so-called "spiritual jazz" which is a nice change from the usual warhorses.
I’d rather have quality over quantity, but something to be said for tens of thousands of records to browse through if you have the space. Not sure I’d go out today with that goal in mind, my pile was the accumulation of decades.
I find that there are about 100 that I come back to again and again. I could live with that many, but a few thousand is better.

I have about 3,000 LP's.
I have two turntables.
I play about 5 LP's a year.
I no longer buy vinyl, at 64 years of age, I already have more records than I'll ever have time to listen to.  I primarily listen to cd and streaming.
