as a correction to my previous post, I should have said this was my first "serious, heartfelt post". I have made a few comments in the past.

What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear
Have anyone of you actually calculated this ?
What's your personal ratio ?
I have not looked into this in any detail, and have if anything, only recently.....
Told family members (not my wife) 8^0..........something along the lines of ........." this piece of equipment is worth ......this (xxxx) ......."
I have, told all family members that they could probably start an Ebay Record Selling Career; if their own career doesn't pan out.... with what is contained in the house. I don't think they are buying this idea ......right now.
This has me a little concerned.
I assume the good records will only go up in value.
Some gear I own, I believe is in this same state of fluctuating upward values.
Interested in your opinions, and findings on the subject. Have you crossed this bridge yet ?

I paired my collection down from about 15k records to just under 2K. The ones that are left are the usual collector pieces. I think now quality vs quantity. I know of a local collector who has just over 100K records, unfortunately he probably has no more than 50-100 that are collector pieces . The rest just take up a ton of space! Tons of quantity..and no quality. Lots of very large collections are like this IME. |
Vinyl definitely has its place, as well as streaming. I don’t have the space anymore for vinyl due to an upcoming move/downsize, so have been enjoying music through my new Node 2i. Nice sound quality through Qobuz, with no pops or cleaning routine. I even can find most of my old collection, as well as lots of stuff I’ve been looking for. You have to look for the collegial forums on Audiogon. Might I suggest “”What’s on your turntable tonight”? Great bunch of music lovers over there. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/whats-on-your-turntable-tonight |
