| Record collecting versus hoarding @lewm - depends on what you consider unplayable. If it just doesn't sound good, I still will play it. Luckily I don't have any I consider unplayable, but have a few that I would buy if reissued or available new. The rest will stay, unless they are... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Agree Lew. The only problem is there are some records I really like that sound crappy that have never been reissued, and I refuse to pay Better Records prices, so unfortunately, they are in the rotation. Luckily there are not too many of these. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @lewm - i meant that listening to any records not worthy of being in my rotation takes away from those in the rotation. The heavy rotation is just that the artists with more titles get played more since all titles are theoretically played equally.... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @lewm - I am always looking for new ones to add, it's just hard to find ones that I like that are available on vinyl. And yes, If I play one of my "non-rotation" records (Michael Jackson, etc.), I do remember what I liked about it, and why it is n... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @td_dayton - sounds like you are a dealer. There must be hundreds of records you never listen to. Would you or would others consider an audiophile? | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @lewm - if I can't get a record within 5 seconds, it is a major problem. Since I go through a series of rotations by music type and section, it never happens. I recently updated my rotation (I had to get another stackable bin due to expansion) to ... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @lewm - that would drive me nuts...how can you remember what is upstairs and what is downstairs? To each his own. @mijostyn - not to be personal, but bathroom music? Also, once you have the better record version of the title do you get rid of the... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding I consider that to be like stamp or coin collecting. I'm used to those kinds of records mainly sought after to be profited from. I am not a history buff (or collector of anything - I hate wasting anything - if I don't use it, I get the itch to g... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @lewm - I have tolerance for everybody, just not for those that have multiple copies of the same record and never listen to them who buy with the intent to scalp (except of course the dealers). Let anyone who wants a record get it for MSRP or les... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding It was just the higher the hi-fi, the smaller the collection. Kind of a predictive theory. The extreme is one stereo dealer I know complaining that the crazy audiophiles that keep him in business only want to play Brubeck’s Time Out and see which ... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding I guess @mijostyn goes against @mitchagain’s theory of big collections being owned by lo-fi systems….. | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Not interested in moving my spreadsheet to discogs. Right to privacy and all that. If I ever sell any, it's mostly just bringing to my local record store, and sold one or two on eBay. I am registered on discogs just so I can get market value of r... | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding Anybody else keep a spreadsheet? | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding How about Greg living in the tent? | |
| Record collecting versus hoarding @fdroadrunner - if it takes you a couple minutes to find a record, I think you are in need of intervention. If you have 5500 titles either you listen a hell of a lot more than 15 hours a week or there are hundreds (thousands?) that you never liste... |
