^ That's where I am at present with my record collecting. I still buy records but probably no more than 15 to 20 a year now. And I recently had a similar discussion with a friend who also collects records. He mentioned that somewhere along the line while he was looking for records and buying them and adding them to his collection, he forgot to actually spend some time listening to his records. I had to laugh because, as a record collector, I can relate only too well to his situation.
