What is your vinyl commitment?

My commitment to vinyl is the same as the one to digital. I honestly stopped counting the $ figures. I'm so deep into it now, that instead of selling equipment that I upgraded from, I keep it as backups. I might have to build a backup house of stereo lol.

First, I must thank everyone who has participated in this thread. I am so impressed with the quality of the responses and the impressive components our community have assembled in their systems. That comes only with hard work, research, passion and commitment. Bravo!

I've been an audiophile for 40 years. I have a collection of ~60 albums and ~250 CD's. Crazy as it sounds, 20 years ago I tried to sell my vinyl but couldn't get $20 for it. Now, I cherish every album.

3 years ago, I offered to donate all my CD's to the local library. They had a pretty good selection (maybe 500) of CD's. After a couple months, they politely declined. 

Fast forward... I have a nice Rega rig, NAD M66, NAD M23, Zesto Audio Andros and TEAC PD 505T CD Transport, Focal Sopra No. 2, and am ABSOLUTELY loving my music. So happy nobody wanted it when I was willing to give it away.

Thanks to all of you who responded. I was especially moved by stories from those that have been collecting vinyl for decades. My very small collection is largely from 1980-1990 with some recent high quality additions.  

I'm very happy to be part of this hobby(obsession?) and forum. I thoroughly enjoy the conversations and enthusiasm we share for high fidelity music. Thank you.
