HiI'd sure like to have more shelf space in the basement listening room/office/computer area. I contemplate the 12-16 linear feet of classical records that I picked up mostly at thrifts and similar discount source 8 or 10 yrs ago when I had more time for such things. Back when I'd listen to three versions of a specific Mozart concerto or Beethoven symphony by different artists just for kicks. I must have 10 versions of "Rites of Spring". Now, I haven't played one of them in years.
Has anyone here in similar circumstances whittled-down their classical collection to just a few hundred(!) lps and actually later regretted it?
I'm thinking that I can always pick up more stuff later if I lighted-up now.
