How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to?

So far I own around 300 vinyl albums all purchased in a last 20 years. Even while I listen to for about 10 albums a week it seems I want to keep adding more and more to my library. I wonder if there is a point when one says it's enough, there is no point to add more as there is no time or an interest to listen to them all. How many do you have? How much time it look to put it together? How many of them do you really listen?

Several months ago, I bought a pre-owned higher end turntable. I sold most of my records when I sold my last turntable a couple of years ago. I have around 250 records now, mostly reissues. I'm still working my way through the ones I bought recently. I have become a dedicated headphone listener and the CD format is just so easy. I'm even considering selling my Nakamichi cassette deck as I simply can't find the time to enjoy all the formats.

I'm impressed (or shocked) at the large quantities of records that many members have accumulated. I only have about 250, even if you count the double disc albums. I only add if I see something interesting. I was in an antique store recently and found a Nautilus copy of Moody Blues' "On the Threshold of a Dream" LP. I took a chance, and despite the ticks and pops, found it so well recorded that I was glad I bought it. Yesterday, I listened to a couple early Beatles (UK/Japanese) albums. It reminded me that I need to do that more often.
