After seeing that John Peel's was over 10000+ I wondered how big our vinyl collection where!
mines, quite small, about 1100 at last count.
Why is this getting posted in Blank Canvas, daftee, instead of where it should be posted??

ooops. Please forgive me I didnt mean to waste your time Marco.
Lol... Yer ok, but you should know better! ;)
Anyway, to answer your question, I'd say around 1500, not including 12 and 7" singles, of which I have around 500. I'm having some shelves built soon to house everything, so will post some pics in due course :)

I've never counted them. A large cupboard full, plus various stacks of wax about the place, and three record cases full. Oh, and a shoebox full of 45s.

I gave up counting years ago. I like to think of them in metres - last time I checked (about 4 years ago) it was just over 8 metres. Since then, some have come, some have gone and some are still back at our place in Lincolnshire.
Not counted them for a while now - but I suspect around a 1000.
Had a big 'turf out' a couple of years ago. Ditched some items I now regret. :(
Just under 3,000 LPs and 12" singles ( and 1,250 CDs..plus a few boxes of 7"s).....when you spread that over nearly 40 years of collecting it's only 1.5 LPs a week!
I use IKEA Expedit for LP storage, it's just the job.

At a guess probably about 1300 to 1500 albums. I haven't counted in years. I recently obtained a few hundred classical albums as well and those additions have caused a few issues re storage.

That's still a nice music collection :)
I've amassed my current vinyl collection in around 8 years, as I sold the vast majority of the original vinyl collection I had, from the late 70s into the 80s, when I got into CD and stayed all-digital for many years, before getting back into vinyl (and T/Ts) again in a major way, around 2004.
As my system is now all but built to my satisfaction (save perhaps getting a music streaming source, a few more cartridges, and possibly another T/T, as back-up for the Techy), the vast majority of my audio budget is spent on music, and mainly vinyl, so I expect to at least double my vinyl collection in the next couple of years! :gig:
I may have to move to a bigger house, though, to accommodate it all... ;)

Not really sure but would say about 5,000 collected over 30+ years
A relative minnow in vinyl ownership I probably own about 250 albums and about 100 12" singles. I had vastly more than this up until the late '80's when like many I sold almost all of my collection to concentrate on CD's. At that point I owned well over 1500 albums and about as many singles. I have countless CD's but most are in the garage because I just don't have the room to store them anywhere in the house and besides, they're all ripped onto various hard drives :cool:

I have 15 LPs.
14 of them are cartridge test LPs and the 15th is K-Tel's "Brotherhood of Man's Greatest Hits"
If you hadn't added that last one, I'd have accused you of not being a music lover!
Marco.
I'd say around 300 pieces of assorted LPs, 12s and 45s. I'm slowly cleaning and ripping them all to FLAC to sit alongside my ripped CD and digital collection. When I've finally got through it all I'll list them for sale on AoS and you guys can have a field day! The proceeds of any sale I'll use towards buying more CDs (usually second hand from auction sites and charidee shops). As you can tell I'm not fussy about format as long as the collection in the digital jukebox keeps growing. I'm quite proud of what I have amassed so far, nearly 600GB of high quality rips and downloads (min 320 for MP3).

As im very dissapointed with new vinyl in more ways than one, i wont be buying anymore.
As i can't live with the ware & tare of second hand records, i wont be buying those either.
However i'm forced to buy the records that have not seen a CD issue yet, i then have to be very patient & find issues in as near mint as possible.
Hence my collection will be around 40 at the most...

03-09-2012, 10:44
Sold 3 or 4ooo of my personal vinyl 17 years ago and regretted it almost immediately...whodathunkit with CD being the be all and end all format it was going to be. I also sold the record shop's second hand collection which was also pretty much all mine too...
Currently I have about 700 records and i'm SLOWLY getting the core of my collection back (some sadly on CD)
If anyone is reading and is thinking of selling then STOP now and don't...unless it's really cheap and then contact me by PM :-)

I have around 1750 LP's plus about a dozen 12" singles, a few 45's and over 100 CD/DVDA/SACD frisbies. I recon all but 400 Lp's were purchased since 2000 about 2/3 of which are used. So it took me nearly 30 years to accumulate 400 and a dozen to come by the rest.
I put this down to concentrating on the music rather than hi-fi tweaking and the existence of Ebay. This has enabled me to fill in gaps for music I missed and upgrade some inferior reissues to decent original pressings. Frankly I had relatively slim pickings when I attended record fairs regularly. I have reduced my used buying recently due to falling quality and increasing prices.
The last year or two has seen an increasing choice of quality new releases and reissues which continue to be too tempting to resist. Pressing quality appears to be on the up recently for those who have complaints with the quality of new vinyl. There are more titles also that receive a proper vinyl remastering rather than using dubious digital sources.
Way too many if you ask the missus!
If you ask me around 2.500 LP's is not enough! :eek:
Still increasing my collection though...

Mr SMALL FRY only has about 100 :(
But rising after every boot sale :D
My collection stalled at around 400 in the late '90s when the local shops stopped stocking vinyl and I bought a CD player. Since getting a Moth RCM a little over a year ago I have added approx another 200 to that total, including replacing some of the CDs with the vinyl version. There is very little cack in that 600, maybe only about 50 that I will never play again. These collections of 10K albums I can never figure out -there simply isn't that much music worth listening to is there?
In Leeds last week l was checking out the 'audiophile' re-pressings - between £25 and £50 - that's a lot of dosh for one record. Frankly I would rather buy a decent condition used original pressing that has not been sullied by 'digital' remastering or cutting lathes.

The better 'Audiophile' pressings - usualy the expensive ones are certainly all analogue. If in doubt consult the Steve Hoffman forum. The AP stuff is top notch. Depending on the title the £50 reissue is often much cheaper than a 1st press from the 60's. That applies to rare Jazz as well as the Doors titles.
There are also cheaper issues that are all analogue (or if there is some hi-res digital cleaning up you wouldn't notice) and available for £15-£20. Try some of the Warner 'Back to Vinyl' titles cut by Kevin Grey or Chris Bellman. Also recent EMI issues cut by Ray Staff. (Ziggy Stardust and Fog On The Tyne). Add King Crimson vinyl cut at 'Loud' mastering. Actualy as good or better than a minty mint original. Also new digitaly recorded music usualy sounds better on vinyl than the compressed CD mastering.

Frequently, folks who have (multiple thousand item) vinyl collections are seen as extreme and even wasteful. However, what I think the folks (I run into) often don't understand is the time frame and cost involved (not to mention my age :rolleyes:). LP's didn't always cost that much; no where near as much as one finds in the audiophile catalogs and on the audiophile websites we all know and love. Back when I started acquiring (70's) vinyl was the defacto prerecorded medium. Few records were truly "rare" (don't get me started). Vinyl was a mass produced medium; no problems finding what you wanted; no vinyl resurgence to cash in on. In the 80's I was in my teens and I think the average price of an LP had risen to all of $8. By the 90's vinyl was "out" and I remember getting shed loads of LP's for $1 each. Considering that in short order CD prices had risen to $18 each, sticking with LP's was a no brainer, for me anyway. I could come home with 1 CD or about 15 records that still sounded awesome. Sometimes after record shopping it looked like a bomb went off in my house... ...not my wallet. Since, I value what's taking up that space, I don't find storing vinyl a waste of space. It just comes with the territory. It's the same as storing a classic car in the garage and leaving your brand new whatever it is out in the rain. You just do what you have to do to enjoy the things you want to enjoy. C'est la vie.

I've only got about 400 LPs but for a long time was concentrating on open reel and CD. I do like that vinyl retains its quality if kept clean and not played with a nail! As for ripping them and only listening to the rips... That's not the point :) Vinyl is made to be tactile and enjoyed as a multi-sensory experience, much like tape IMO :)

I've actually started thinning my collection down. I started getting rid of second copies and I've also become super selective as to what goes in the listening room now. I think I'm now nearly upto 1200 LP's in the listening room and probably about another 100 in the loft.

I've got about 1200 LPs and 12" singles stored in and around and on top of an incredibly full Ikea Expedit. I've also got about 1500 CDs in the cellar all ripped to a vortexbox. There are also thousands of cassettes in the cellar, the best of which I have ripped to a 2TB QNAP NAS drive. Ripping cassettes is a terrible job, so I'm on the point of giving up.

A bit melodramatic on my behalf. I have three young kids, so ripping a tape in the general mayhem of daily life is far more hassle than ripping a CD what with tagging etc. Given that most of my tapes are "souvenirs" of gigs I went to, or traded for, the sound quality is questionable. Still, I transferred a Neil Halstead solo gig tonight and am listening to it for the first time since I taped it. Nice gig, but I don't remember a thing, so I must have really myself that night.....:)

At its peak my LP collection hit the 10,000 mark (or thereabouts). Probably worth mentioning that I started serious collecting around the time when people who were living the digital dream were dumping whole LP collections for peanuts. I hoovered up thousands for next to nothing. That's on top of the regular trips to the local record shops (remember them?).
Inevitably, marriage and children led to a gradual cull of my collection, so I'd guess it currently stands at about 5000 or so. Lots of classical and jazz, along with rock, pop, blues, folk - I have broad tastes (not a good thing for an avid collector).
I remember once answering the door to a friend of a friend. He introduced himself, said he'd been told I was into vinyl and pointed to his car which was crammed full of LPs. 'Take em off my hands and save me a trip to the tip'.
So, if you were one of the many eejits who got rid of your vinyl when CD arrived, thank you very much.....
As a bonus, a lot of the stuff I was buying twenty years ago is quite sought after on ebay. I've funded a few system upgrades that way.
CD has probably overtaken vinyl as far as my classical listening habits are concerned, but I still prefer LP for everything else.

It's exactly the same for me, Martin.
Yes, but play a near-mint vinyl copy (silent, in terms of noise, through being thoroughly cleaned on an RCM) of some of the best classical music performances from the late 50s, through the 60s, on the likes of Decca, Telefunken, Columbia or HMV, and for me, no digital recordings get near them, in terms of SQ! :exactly:

Like you Andrew, I'm thinning mine. I have seached the world for over 40 yrs in order to explore the boundries of my musical tastes & found them. I've got mine down to just over 400 from over 2,000. I see little point in keeping the poorly recorded ones that don't sound any worse on C.D. or wav/flac files + some havn't stood the test of time well.

I do have a cleaning machine, but tbh I just don't seem to have the spare time I used to have. I'm sure much of my CD listening stems from that (and being too knackered at the end of a long shift to do much beyond pressing 'play') .
Some of those early stereo classical LPs sound so good that it makes me wonder if the recording engineers of today could learn a few things from their forefathers. A couple of decent valve mics and a bit of cunning....
Same goes for some of the early stereo jazz stuff. I've got some jawdroppingly fine small group jazz recordings from the late 50s.

Hi Martin,

Indeed. It's the valve mikes, mixing desks, and all-analogue (direct) nature of the recordings, coupled with the talent of engineers who cared deeply about achieving the most superlative sonic results, which make all the difference!

The most important gear those engineers used were their ears. An engineer that doesn't understand the difference between analogue tape headroom/saturation and digital clipping/distortion shouldn't be allowed at the console. Period. I digress, as well.

Ken (unlike other reviewers) has loads of 'vintage' equipment (behind him in the top photo). Therefore he has a better perspective than most on what sounds any good. I do enjoy his 'Off The Leash' column. He always was a big reason for purchasing HFN over the last 30 years.
Paul.
Precisely (I couldn't agree more) - and do you know why he adds such value to HFN?
Well, it's first of all, because he's an excellent writer, whose use of the English language is exemplary, particularly descriptive terms that relate subjectively in some way to audio, thus allowing readers to 'get' where he's coming from easily, but more importantly, his passionate and entertaining style of writing holds one's interest and adds colour to subjects that can often be boring.
That is precisely why subjective reviewing of audio equipment, when done properly, is more effective and of much greater use to most readers, than attempting to decipher reams of sleep-inducing (and often irrelevant) test measurements... YAWN! :nono:
Quite simply, I buy hi-fi magazines (these days, only HFN), not to read about how well someone can use an oscilloscope, but to find out if they have the ability to portray, through the clever use of descriptive language (not meaningless audiophile gobbledygook, however), but by effectively 'painting a picture' with words, describing what they can hear when reviewing equipment, in a way which I can recognise and appreciate, and thus succeeds in piquing my interest in buying a particular product.
In my view, no-one does that better than Ken Kessler, which is why he's an asset to HFN and one of the major reasons why the magazine is doing well in such difficult times. I also admire opinionated and outspoken characters, with a forceful personality, and dislike the bland, wishy-washy, 'sit on the fence' types, who play the corporate game, and have all the personality of a piece of cardboard.
Sadly, there are too many like that writing today for hi-fi magazines. Long live KK with his colourful style of writing and outspoken views!! :clap:
Marco.
He reminds me of Lloyd Grossman! When I get HFN each month I go straight to the back page first!

Got any Shaking Stevens? :D
Part(!) of my friend's singles collection. He's into collecting chart music. It's my mission to sort him out a decent sound system. He's already got a mini t, just need him to get a decent turntable & stop using the one he got for a fiver at a boot sale :doh:

I've been trying to replace all my CDee's with vinyl only over the last 6 months, i managed to gather about 100 upto yet :( however it's a lot harder buying in specialised music than it's is say a multi taste collectors ;) anyone can pop in the charity shop & build a collection of anthing in ten mins :lol:
£20-25 per new LP aint a cheap thing either
Hi,
I think Jimmy hughes has the biggest collection out of the reviewers. I understand it is 20,000 + items.

I've no idea how many Lp's I've got, never counted them, i'd say about 2 meters worth end to end probably.
Still got most of my Vinyl, although I did get rid of some embarrassing stuff in the late '70s...I moved to digital late 80's.
About 1k albums, 200 or so 12", and about 50 7"s...all in need of a good wash :)
Plus about 250 rare dub/reggae albums that I'm storing for a mate who's having some domestic issues...:eyebrows:
