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 
REGA P3

I recall visiting New Orleans years back,prior to Katrina.There was a record shop on Decauter .It was a 2 story building They were closed the morning arrived but peeking in through the window I saw stacks and stacks of Lp's.Are they still there ?
To the OP:
You never have enough.
My collection has dwindled over the years.
Starting with 45's in the 1950's and probably reaching about 2,500 at it's peak by 1990
I'm down to about 800 and still enjoy them all.Even the disco single plays.

djf1, Your small-ish LP collection is merely a correlate of your age.  At 55, I surmise that you came into the hobby at a time when LPs were considered de classe'.  Keep on buying, is my advice.

As for the TransFi, without a doubt that would be my choice if I ever decide to put up with a compressor and the noise and maintenance thereof.

I recently bought a VPI HW-19 specifically to mount a Trans-Fi on. Can't do that with my Townshend Rock table ;-) .

Goldeneraguy, Peaches was the 2 story record store on Decatur. They have moved (closer to me) uptown on magazine near Napolean ave.

I have about 1200 lps in my collection, been buying since I was 16 in the latter 60s. have purchased close to probably 6,000 but culled as they were determined not to be keepers by my standards. have slowed down to probably 40 to 50 a year as I settled into retirement a few years ago and have about the same number of red book cds and over half of them are copys of LPs that I wanted for car or convenience. I have 80 in rotation and the rest I go thru and pick some out as I am looking for something in particular in my collection and I store in no predetermined order for that reason. I have to say that everything I have will be listened to again unless I just run out of time or it runs out on me. I am acclimating my grandson, now 5, to the artist I believe he should be aware of, James Brown, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, the Quess Who, Randy Newman and such and he will get my collection when the time comes.
