I've never really thought of it like that. I have been buying music for over 40 years though so I guess it does add up. I haven't bought too many LP's in the last 10 years or so apart from about 200 classical recordings and some high quality 180g pressings. The thing is there was a time when I would happily buy 20-30 albums a week as I seemed to spend all my free time in record shops - remember those! Browsing CD's is just no fun for some reason. I guess I was very obsessive:-) I have acquired about 1500 albums from friends who abandened LP's in favour of the silver disc so I guess its not quite so bad as it seems. By the way I consider my collection as modest compared to some people I know who have collections in the 10K+ albums bracket, and by todays standards it's tiny compared to some peoples digital collections. Oh, and yes I have listened to every single album at least once:-) -- russelc Regards, Chris Hi-FI: SB3 (wireless), Ipod Touch (+iPeng), active Linn Kabers, 3 x LK100, Kairn, LP12 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ russelc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37254 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80811 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
