Playable LPs


For those of you who have very large collections of LPs, what percentage of them would you say sound good enough to justify the expense of your analog rig?

P.S. I have no agenda here.  Just curious.

I've never had more than 1000 or so at a time. I cull frequently. I'd say most.

over 3000 records, all in nice inner and outer sleeves, all gone through a 3 step cleaning including a US bath. 

Since upgrading my table, also getting a micro line stylus, there is almost 0 surface noise. Of course some thing sound better on vinyl over streaming, and some streams sound better. 

In my collection, there is around 1000 records that sound incredible,  1800 ones that sound good, a few hundred that are just ok. Maybe 3-4 that are just bad. Just picked up a new reissue of BB King with jimmy Hendrix, was so excited for it!! Sounds like someone had a cheap cassette recorder next to a cheap handheld radio. It's so bad! 

Lately have been listening to vinyl less, buying much less as cost are going through the roof. When I want to chill, listen to some loved tunes, it's always vinyl.
