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 worked at a CD store for about 4 years, during the heyday of Classical issues and reissues (back when Fanfare was as thick as a good-sized paperback). Plus, I was fortunate enough to marry a wife who had a very, very nice vinyl collection from her teen years (70's-80's). How many of you guys here now of women who actually collected music when they were in their teens and early 20's? LOL. Plus, I regularly shop these days at least once a week, usually for vinyl rock-pop stuff, as well as used bins and thrift stores for as much cocktail, crooner, easy listening silliness as possible. My jazz collection is the only part of my collection that is wanting.

CD's: over 4000
LP's: around the same.

Just to fess up to how silly collecting can get, I still have over a hundred (!!) unopened cd's that i have yet to get around to listening to from when I worked at the CD store --- 6 years ago!!
