How do you arrange the order of your records?


I guess some alphabetically. Some by genre. By quality. Etc.
My preference is keeping them randomly arranged. This way I get a nice variety and I don’t have to choose. And it’s always a nice surprise.

I take them out about ten at a time and place them in a dedicated space between my mono blocks.

just bought a 3000 classical pressing collection last fall, so i plan on learning more. learning about music is one of the joys of vinyl. 

@mikelavigne , holy cow. Was this from an estate sale or an individual abandoning vinyl for digital? No matter, what a find.

I stream Qobuz to find classical music worth owning.

@lowrider57 just one of those things. i happened to be looking at ebay and saw this classical collection for bid. the guy lived in N.J. and had purchased it from a Grammaphone Reviewer 20 year ago. a wide variety of classical music, with the focus on performance and not the most desired pressings. but a few gems here and there. and the condition is pristine almost 100%.

i messaged the seller and made an offer, turned out he knew me (i did not know him) from the forums and he accepted my offer. it came in 46 boxes on two pallets. 1800 pounds. a lifetime of investigations for me. and it was what he said it was. and i paid a fair price too.

yes, a ’find’.

Fantastic, @mikelavigne . Since they're from a reviewer I'll bet many of them were only played once. 

mike -- if he's there, go about it the right way and start with contemporary Dutch composer Michel van der Aa.
