Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat

Yikes! Jitter is firing on all cylinders today. Did somebody spike his orange juice?

My LPs and 78s in my permanent collection are housed in seismically secure custom built wall cabinets mounted to 2X6s on 8" plates, 2X 5/8X drywall and 6" 3000 lb. engineered slab.  The CDs are housed in Can Am steel drawer cabinets.  

I've sold or donated 18,000 records in the past 25 years.  I have a rule, if I don't want to hear a recording more than 3 times per year, out it goes.  

I am not a hoarder.  I have/had local collectors of 1 million to 1.5 million records (Tom Chandler, Music Man Murray, etc.) who hoarded records relative to their stores and then there's the esteemed record producer Tom Null, who also has 1 million recordings but listen to them.  

It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider this a place holder for future discussion on this topic.

That should have read, Tom Null does not listen to his recordings, just continues to collect them. He prefers unique and obscure recordings for his collection.  They are not in his home so his home isn't like a hoarders,  Neither was Tom Chandler who had warehouses for his records.  Rod McKuen who lived 2 miles away reportedly had a million or millions of records but had a staff to manage them.  

Then there is the hoarder of records who purchases a million records at a time, the Braziliian  Zero Freitas who reportedly has 8 million records and a full time library cateloging staff.  U.S. record collections end up in Brazil.  https://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/10/magazine/the-brazilian-bus-magnate-whos-buying-up-all-the-worlds-...

Just crazy......Sorry but my opinion
