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 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.

Too Blue;

Great answer to all my questions!
but 1 or so

1) How many of " keepers" are 45's?
2) Do the heavy " rotation" ones get boring due to time listened to?
3) New one ---How many hrs do you listen?

Probably 5% are 45, the heavy rotations take care of them selves as new albums are purchased and forces them out and I listen about 100 hours a month.
