What got you into collecting records?
I have been a record collector since 2010. I did not have a turntable back then. I liked the concept of music on vinyl and the artwork that came with it.



How large is your vinyl collection?
I have about 500 records at the moment. 2010 onwards I picked up records from Chor Bazaar. It was not an obsession back then. Most of my records were picked up 2017 onwards.


Which is the most valuable record in your collection?
Most valuable record which I possess is OST of 'Jai tre jait' and 'Ha Khel savalyancha' which are real gems.



Tell us about your turntable setup.
I have about 8 turntables. The one in the bedroom is Denon DP 29F paired with active speakers from Roth (procured from 'The Revolver club'). Another one in the living room is a vintage Garrard Synchro-Lab 55 paired with vintage Bevox amplifier and Bevox speakers. The rest are more of collectibles.



Any advice to people that are about to start their collection?
Folks, be patient while collecting records. They are priceless and here to stay. Sometimes you may get desperate to own a particular title..in most cases it eludes you. But as they say if you have a strong intention it will fructify. You will find it. Always store your records serially in cabinets.
