That's an incredible collection. Just categorizing the records would be a monumental task. If I had the bucks, I'd buy it just to preserve the collection for posterity.

One thing he said was wrong: "Vinyl as we know it today is dead." There has been such a resurgence in vinyl LPs that I can get almost any new music release or classic older album on high-quality 180 gram vinyl.

One thing though. If I owned a $50M collection, I'd have a better turntable than a Stanton.

Here's the back wall of my batcave... Excuse the mess, but it's my mess.

The boxes are full of CDs and I'd say that overall this ~75% of my stash. I have been 100% immersed in music for all my life and can't think of a better way to live.

The framed print is my all time favorite photo. Anyone recognize it?

I'm particularly big on collecting Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab pressings and CDs. I have some rare sets, and some that are even unopened. I have an unopened Court of the Crimson King MFSL LP that I am saving for PhD graduation! I am also big into collecting Japanese pressings, as they are the cleanest pressings you can find due to the standards they have over there for keeping their pressing plants immaculately clean.

I like almost all music genres, except opera. I especially pursue Blue Note original pressings. I have an Alesis MasterLink ML-9600 two-track hard disc recorder (used to master many classic LPs, including Hotel California) and I occasionally copy my best LPs to MFSL Ultradisc 24 KT Gold CD-R discs using the Alesis.

I have the Tascam SACD/HD/CD recorder equivalent. It is in the rack system near the bottom.

I have all of the Blue Note LP reissues done by Steve Hoffman and Music Direct and many of the other Jazz/Blues reissues as well. I have them on SACD/CD combo also. Great sounding stuff. Not as clean as the Japanese pressings unfortunately, so I stopped ordering them after getting a few of the complete sets. I don't have time to check them all for bad pressings and return the bad ones. The Japanese pressings I never have to worry about returning anything. I still get the SACD/CD combo discs though. They sound relatively the same, so I didn't see the point in getting both after awhile.

I can certainly turn the LPs around and sell them for a profit though, since they were all LE and number stamped sets; they are in high demand. I'm more into collecting older stuff that is sealed, such as the MFSL stuff. MFSL old pressings were all made in Japan, so the quality is usually pristine. Likewise, it is usually original analogs without mastering. They pretty much always greatly exceed the quality of the regular and/or original album releases.

When I have some free time, perhaps next summer, I am looking to add a Rolling Stones MFSL set to my collection. I don't have time to sit and listen to them all right now to make sure they are in excellent condition if I end up winning one on Ebay though...

The Beatles MFSL set I have is in near mint; great stuff right from the original studio analog reels! Quality stuff, unlike the garbage that was put out recently, with all of the compression and garbage effects added that ruin the natural and realistic soundscapes...

The absolute greatest sounding vinyl LP I own is an original pressing of Ella Fitzgerald's Let No Man Write My Epitaph. Recorded in 1960 with pianist Paul Smith, the sound is mesmerizing. If you close your eyes, it's almost like the two of them are in the room with you. The skill of the recording engineers at Verve Records back in the 50s and 60s was astounding.

Yeah, most MFSL pressings are like that. The closer to the analog masters you get, the more it sounds like musicians sitting in a room recording. All the effects people add nowadays are great for listening to music in cars where the lower portions of the dynamic range can be drowned out by the sound of the car, but they (especially the insane amounts of compression) completely destroy the ambiance and proportions of the music/experience.

Every current and future recording engineer should be required to study Rudy Van Gelder, the Blue Note master engineer. Given the relatively crude recording equipment of his day compared to today, his work remains unsurpassed.

It is likely the crudeness that made it so great, i.e. he didn't add anything or take anything away from the recordings. Thus, they sound like the musician in the recording room rather than a highly manufactured product. That is exactly why I like collecting any recordings on any media that have been directly taken from the master analog sessions.

Very true. Which reel-to-reel deck do you use? I've been tempted to get into r2r.

In my main system, I use a Rega P25 with a modded RB300 tonearm and Soundsmith Denon DL103R cartridge. In my vintage McIntosh system upstairs, I have a Technics 1200 MKII with a Clearaudio Beta Aurum cartridge. The Technics turntables give more bang for the buck than almost any other brand.
