How many LP's


Gents;

I'm thinking of taking a jump to a turntable.......& such

I had 700 albums that I " dumped" when cd's arrived.........
Old BIC turntable 
A big "Stupid" move

Good Analog is " the best", to me

Anyway, 

How many albums do you guys have in the " library "?
How many are 45's vs 33's

My thought; as a starter 
REGA P3

I'm more of a quality over quantity guy. I got back into vinyl about 7 years ago. I'm 55. I had vinyl, 8 track, cassette, cd, said, DVD-A, downloads in multiple configurations and now back to vinyl. I don't know how many albums I have now but it's over 700. If I can get a 45rpm version of the album I will always get that one. I stay away from the bargain bins. I like to get a new copy off the master tapes if that's available. I don't have a problem buying a used album from a collector either on Discogs or my local record store. One of them buys collections and separates the really good stuff. I live in New Orleans and there are 4 record stores walking distance from my house and another 2 within 3-4 miles. So I'm fortunate. I haven't figured a good way to catalogue them without actually going through them. I listen to everything I have, obviously some more than others. But I have no problem pulling something out blindly. I used to have a large wine collection. There were wines I wouldn't drink unless it was a special occasion. Then I got into a motorcycle accident. Everyday became a special occasion. If somebody was over I would blindly pull from the cellar and pull the cork. It's the same with my vinyl collection now. If I bought it, I must've of liked it so why not listen to it. If I want to listen to something I'll go for it but sometimes I just randomly pull. That's why I have more than a few albums.
Goldeneraguy, Peaches was the 2 story record store on Decatur. They have moved (closer to me) uptown on magazine near Napolean ave.
