So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

In my opinion...not nearly enough.
In my wife's opinion...way too many!

But seriously, I have more records than I reasonably have room to store.  I haven't counted but I think it's around 700-800 currently. 
I'm trying to reduce the number by selling on Discogs and ebay, but it's not making much of a dent.  I recently got rid of all of my "junk" vinyl that was simply taking up space.  Just about everything I own now would qualify as premium quality vinyl.  I made a choice a few years ago to only keep the records that I love, and not be a "collector".  Still trying to stay on this path.  I don't want my stuff to be a burden on my family when I'm gone.  I also want them to know that they shouldn't give the stuff away if they ever have to make that choice for me.    

Most of us old music lover audiophiles have large record collections. I still have my Father's pre recorded tapes. He had a wonderful old tube Ampex back then. I never counted. I always got rid of albums that were either poor pressings or music I did not like for some reason but back then you had to be reasonably good to get a recording contract. Sometimes I bought an album simply because I liked the cover. You can't do that anymore because there is so much garbage out there. Fortunately it is becoming easier to audition music online. Having a large collection is fun because you can always pull a record that you have not listened to for years so it is almost like playing new record. Also records have memories attached to them and you can bring those memories back by listening like when my first girlfriend dumped me or the first time I played Meet the Beatles on my Zenith portable with a cobra tonearm. I can smell the tubes. When you make a significant upgrade to your system like a new set of speakers or a much more powerful amp it is almost like having an entirely new collection. Music is eternal all this other stuff not.  

Unfortunately none now. Being a minimalist, i already disposed a hundred of them 15 years ago when my grandfather died. Now I can;t help to think that there are things worth keeping.

Looks like rich121 wins or loses depending on your point of view.  Awesome either way.  I also organize by genre and then alphabetical.  My Son is a purist and recommends totally alphabetical but what does he know.  Reminds me of the humor in High Fidelity.

Gee your vinyl records must be real junk if you’re worried about them being a "burden" to your survivors. My family is already fighting over who gets first pick when I kick the bucket.
