My Guilty Pleasure: I Own about 1,100 Records and Still Want More

I am, and always have been, a bargain ­hunter. A good deal is often more valuable to me than what I buy, and there is nothing I pine for more than a good deal on a vinyl record.

My love of vinyl peaked during the 2010s, the decade during which I DJed three to four times a month. That phase of my life ended with the COVID-19 pandemic, but I now own about 1,100 records, and I still keep two Technics SL-1200 turntables and a mixer in my living room. ­Nothing amuses me more than an evening of journeying from one record to the next. Well, except for buying those records.
