I had dumped my LPs wayyyyy back in the mid 1980's..
Then, three years ago a collection of LPs was available for pennies. I had no TT and no phono pre, but I bought them anyway..
It took two years to aquire 14,000 LPs at bagain basement prices.. I threw away 4,000 dups or slightly marred vinyl.
So now I have about 4,500 classical, 3,000 Rock, 2,500 Jazz.
I may have to move soon, so I may just dump another couple of thousand.. When more than half cost under $0.20 each, That is easy to do.
And if you ask is that 10,000 HerbAlpert?? nooooooo. Good stuff. really!
I got them to keep me happy in my old age.
I think they will be worth having around! Only five years to go.
