260+ DVD'S, 290+ CD'S, 60+ CASS.,35 LD'S, 150+ LP'S, + 300+ BETA'S . APPROX. $15,000. WORTH OF ACC'S , AND MY SYSTEM APPROX. $20,000. {75%} - ACC.S. |
close to 1000 cd's and about 250 LP's that are in storage due to the fact that I do not have a turntable |
Not alo9t by the standard set in this forum but the ones I do own are truely loved by my wife and I. I am a sucker for Jazz from the 1950's and 1960's. I love those old analog tapes that were remastered to find themselves on the Verve and Blue Note labels. Cool, Very cool indeed! |
I have just under 3000 cd's, and only a couple dozen lp's, but since I don't own a turntable yet...
I have about 250 MoFi, DCC, Mastersound, Atlantic, DMP, and Sheffield Labs gold discs and a bunch of import/rare stuff. Now that the major labels have gotten into the remastering, I find myself having to "upgrade" and buy stuff I already own. They obviously planned this to milk more money out of us. |
dvds...0 cds...150 lps...10,000 cassettes...48 eight tracks...200 laserdiscs...36 r/r...0 total value -$$$$$? |
250 LPs, 150 CDs (and a tuner). |
1,900 LPs, 200 CDs, 20 SACDs, 200 DVDs, 270 LDs |
800 Cds....50% rock/alt, 50% Classical
0 LPs
0 DVD, Video
Total system outlay 50% hardware, 50% software. I will use Blockbuster or digital cable to satisfy my DVD/Video needs
for now, I know how things can expand once you get started.
My Linn LP12 and Lps were sold in 1991, I have burned my analog bridge and there is no going back now.........
BTW to purchase CDs (rock) or DVDs slightly used for 1/2
price or less try half.com, I used them a lot for mainstream
stuff and the system works good and saves you money, large selection. |
All three formats growing steadily now that my hardware is somewhat stable. |
834 CDs
899 LPs (50% audiophile pressings--sorry Piet they're not for sale)
139 DVDs
87 LDs |

I amlooking for mint audiophile recordings. If you should have them available,please send me a list (MSoffice format)
Thanks,

I'm not into the video part of it, so with that said, I've about 300 or so CD's and I have access to about 2500 LP's. I say "access to" because they are at my mother's place. She acquired them after my uncle passed away a couple of years ago and doesn't have the heart to part with them, but she doesn't mind if I borrow a couple here and there. |
I guess about 1600+ LPs (I sold a bunch back when I was in college, a move I regret today), 1200+ CDs, 9 DADs (I'm not into video, these are the 24/96 discs) and 30+ SACDs and growing. Vegasears, that is one of the saddest LP stories I've ever heard! |
I have at least 3, 600 LP's, but only about 250 CD titles. I had well over 2000 CD's when I was trying to make it the reference format for my system. I have until recently, continued to sell off the CD collection, retaining only the ones I cannot replace. Still only a handful of SACD titles, I am waiting for newer releases that are unavailable on LP. Hopefully they will be pressed as dual layer (SACD/CD) , making them compatible at home and in the car, it would help me justify the cost. |
12 Childrens DVD's,2100 CD's, 6000lp's |
Chstob I just shop around(not on the web but actual stores), and when I see a sale I pounce. It is not uncommon for me to buy 20+ DVD's at one time when they are at a good price, I save a fortune by spending so much, heh heh. And for those who are into adult entertainment(come on now admit it) there should be a local shop and at this shop you will find HIGH prices so go to the top 20 chart and find a few that interest you(sorry farm animals are not available on digital....yet) and try not to pay attention when you pay for them because they are very expensive. Enjoy. |
I have a little over 1000 cd's, 50+ DVD's and 30 Laserdiscs. Don't have a single Lp. My X won the flip and took my record collection in 1984, just to piss me off. I got my first cd player soon after and never looked back. Here's the kicker. I ran into her a few years ago and asked about my beloved LP's. She told me she tossed them into the trash because they were too heavy and costly to move. |
My "library" includes about 2600 LP's, 1100 CD's, 100 or so jazz videos, and about 50 DVD's. |
My "library" includes about 2600 LP's, 1110 CD's, 100 or so jazz videos, and about 50 DVD's. |
About 1000 CDs and a couple hundred VHS tapes. These represent about 40% of stereo system value. Happy Listening. Craig |

About 900 CDs and about 500 LPS (down from about 800 many years ago, not to mention the ones I didn't keep even before CDs came along); No DVDs--IMO there's nothing out there (at least in the U.S.) worth spending more than the cost of a tape rental to watch.
The value of my software is far in excess of the value of my hardware--roughly $12-13,000 (conservatively) vs. about $3500, or $4500 if you count older gear that's been moved to second-system status. |
30 DVDs; 95 LDs; 5000 CDs; 25 SACDs; 800 LPs. Don't know percentage cost of my hardware. Mostly listen to music, but also enjoy some good movies, like Withnail and I (found it on LD) and Baghdad Cafe (also LD). Both are hysterical comedy/tragedies. |
500 CD's.
You boys got lots of DVD's. What's the best source for A/V dorks buy their DVD's? I am nontypical and only have a couple. But please, no porn.
Thanks,
Chris |
~2,000 cd's
~5,000 lp's
4 dvd-v's (just bought my 1st dvd player and 16:9 dtv in the past 2 weeks).

120 CDs (fastest growing group)
250 cassettes (and declining as they fail)
450 lps (mostly in storage due to renovations)
About 4,500 78 rpm records (Times and formats change, I guess)
I think the last time I checked sw was about 40%, but as always I'm upgrade bound, so this too will pass.

I have 1,100 or so CDs. (I have given away to my local library about another 1,000) I gave ALL my VHS tapes (about 200) away to my co-workers and friends cuz I went pure DVD/LD. I have 3 DVD-A's I got fer free. I have 200 LD movies and 20 DVD's but growing fast. A bunch of cassettes that have been gathering dust for at LEAST 6 years... No 8-tracks, no LPs, no Betamax. (I DO wish I had a good vinyl collection though) |
370 CD's, 85 DVD's and 240 LP's at last count. Not too very many as these things go. |
200 DVD's
700 CD's
300 LP's (but no bloody turn table)
I am fine representation of the typical "A/V dork" but I have a feeling I am in good company. |
75 DVDs
800 CDs
0 LPs
Actual software cost is about 40% of actual cost of hardware.
Other potentially interesting demographic bits:
Not DVD-A enabled.
Not SACD enabled.
PVR enabled. |
