Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ?

I moved from Anchorage, AK to Spokane, WA about 2 years ago. I ended up having a series of medical issues that prevented me from setting up my stereo systems. I wasn't able to set up my turntable, etc, and had been listening to CDs and streaming music. I finally was able to get my health in order and setup my VPI turntable with its newly rebuilt Soundsmith phono cartridge. Also was able to setup my new Degritter record cleaning machine. I have been having late night listening sessions with my Focal Utopia headphones and it has been amazing. Last night listening to Sandy Denny was incredible. My advice is to keep your records! Records are worth the fuss when you want to seriously meld with the music.

I just got into streaming this year & chasing perfection. (almost there) I have about 3500 lps, 4 decks in 2 systems & would NEVER sell off my vinyl. My physical health in been on the down side for 6 years, due to NYS Compensations nonsense. While I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, I still spin once in a while. I hear more instruments in my analog, than my digital setup. For over 50 + years of collecting vinyl, it’s hard for me to let go! 

I also spin my REEL to REEL tapes (about 50+) & nothing beats the original recorded tapes. Nothing! 

 Enjoy the music!

I didn't sell my LPs.  I have identical twin sons in their thirties who like the same music that I like, so I gave them hundreds of albums - the remastered Beatles album, Bee Gees, the Band, the entire Electric Light Orchestra catalog, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, America, Billy Joel, Chicago Donovan, Genesis, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, Nilsson, Randy Newman, NRBQ, Tom Petty Todd Rundgren, CSNY, Santana, Paul Simon, They Might Be Giants.  I have duplicates on SACD, SHM-CD and Redbook CD.

Yes I did and no I don't. Sold almost all my CDs too.

We have talked enough offline that you are most definitely not lazy!

It's hard to let go of something that has been such a part of our life for so long.  There is satisfaction in simply admiring/viewing the collection you have built over your life.  A lot of collections are enjoyed in this way by people.  I am in a similar position where my digital and analog are pretty much equal.  With my new speakers being warmer than my previous, this has narrowed the gap between analog vs digital.  I have been thinking about this topic hard for the past couple years.  There is no urgency so I know I should take it slow and do as others said and start thinning the herd.  I have a lot of records that are not in great shape from when I started buying records about 20 years ago that I never listen to anymore.  There is another top discussion this week about analog vs digital.  I know I need to try to stop making it a competition.  I don't need to vote either of them off the island, I just need to make smart decisions and enjoy the music.
