How BIG is yours?


That is, music collection. Seems like everyone is proud of their big (physically, cost-wise etc) stereo systems. I want to know how big your music collection is. I always ask when I conduct a transaction, half out of curiosity, half wondering whether to trust the sonic biases of someone who owns maybe fifty-sixty albums/CDs tops. I'll start: I have around 500 LPs and 1500 CDs, more and more of which are the excellent DCC Gold and XRCD variety. Would you rather spend $100 on trying music you haven't heard or trying a new power cord (no wrong answer here, I do both)?

I raised a similar post a while back,there's a wide range of people who take up the audio hobby.
It seems to me by nature very many have pretty conservative tastes,classic rock,some folk,some country,some jazz,some classical.
I have collected somewhere in the region of 1100 CD's in the last 6 years(before that I had about 500 LP's) and I get more joy out of searching out new sounds than I do tweaking/upgrading my system.
I have no prejudice on this subject,if you only had 3 CD's
and a 10K system who am I to judge?
I just find I keep following links in the chain of musical history and end up with all kinds of mad records from the avant garde to Eva Cassidy but I do consider myself pretty unique on Audiogon as someone who spends more time checking
out music than trying to improve my system.
