very, very much the same as you, Dimitry. what is not comforting is that right now i probably have over 50 sacds in my home that i bought in the last two years but haven't listened to yet ... somehow, i was only rational enough to make myself stop buying dvds and books.
i will probably put those sacds up on the (now free) classifieds at some point. with all the good new titles coming out, i don't think i'll ever get around to listening to those discs.
here's another question -- do you prefer to go record shopping or listen to the records you own? i think you can guess what my answer would be. for any collector, i think the *idea* that you're going to enjoy what you buy can be more exciting than the act of enjoying that thing. i suspect that it has something to do with our primordial urge to HUNT ... ;-)

I'm at a stage now where our small 1-bedroom has something relating to jazz in every room, including the bathroom.
I probably have 400 lps I haven't played yet, but the hoarding stage is finally over and the cataloguing stage has started.
I just bought a record cleaning machine my records deserve, and the weeding out process started about a month ago. I am slowly building a "for sale/trade" pile and doing a lot of critical listening/note taking and entering my records/cds into the wonderful catraxx database.
I doubt I'd ever be as anal with dvds. They are a disposable commodity for me.
It actually feels liberating to sell the unwanted stuff. Looks like you're ripe for that, man.
