Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it?


.
I own 3,000 plus lp's that I just don't play anymore. I told my 14 year-old son that he can have them when he starts college. He said no thanks, he said that he can carry around that much music in his back pocket in his iPod. I tried to explain to him that if he played LP's in college, he'd easily be one of the coolest students on campus. He told me to "get real" and thanks, but no thanks. I think I just may have to go through the task of grading each LP and selling them off. I've tried to convince myself that I will one day play them. I was just fooling myself. For the last fifteen years, I play one or two LP's a year just for the hell of it. I do like looking at them in their Ikea racks and marvel how I assembled my collection over nearly 40 years. I do like it when visitors comment on them and look through them. Cd's killed my vinyl and now my Squeezebox is finally going to bury it.

How many of you still have a sizeable vinyl collection that you don't play, but refuse to let go of?

I think it's time for me to let go.

Got ride of vinyl stash a few years ago , couldn't sell them so I gave them to a friend , no regrets .
Dev, I recently sold my Grand Prix Audio Monaco TT, Triplanar Vii, Benz LP-S rig in preference to my Sooloos and now a 6TB server fronted by a MacBook Pro/Amarra setup.

Too bad for you "it's game over".

Mine's still going on.
Khrys, and your point is?

Was that before or after you wrote;

Anyone want to buy a Sooloos? I'll have one for sale shortly.

Their typically unhelpful support is less amusing since it is now useless.

Sounds like you must be in your 60's and frustrated, what's next ....

I gotta laugh when I read such postings
Ha! Ha! no just threw out that number.

So Unoear are you getting rid of your tables and replacing them with a Sooloos? I read Khrys has one possibly for sale.
