Great posts. I am the same.
Nowadays, with the busy pressed schedules, I just turn on KUSC, in the car. It satisfies during my 40 min commute. And being in LA, I go to concerts. But then I want some of these recordings, some from the LP era.
I have ~1.5 K records, almost all at least playable and most are nearly pristine or at least sparingly played*. I rarely buy new ones due to keeping peace in the family and my personal quest to change some things.
*I don't know how many times my late uncle played his Mercs, London blue back, RCA shaded and earlier mono, Westminster black, the orginal Capitols, Command classical and Enoch Light, etc. They are in very very good condition. Nor some others from my family collection and some from another collection of my friend's. They are also very good without scratches.
