Dam..Must be nice to have the money///

I think a good indicator is the size of ones music collection.

M[QUOTE=JoeE SP9ine is 3500+ LP's and 1500+ CD's, plus a hundred or so cassettes recorded on Nakamichi decks. Most of my gear I've had for upwards of ten years. Some of it's older than a lot of posters here. Most of it I bought new. I've been buying LP's since 1967 and I have no intention of quitting.[/QUOTE]

Thats an impressive collection. I'm hitting around 500lps and and about 200 CDs and about 8 DVDs crammed with 256k or higher MP3s that I have aquired.
