I own a few records but no turntable. I've just been renting digital music (and movies) for an unlimited term at zero cost (downloading them from p2p/torrents) since the late 90's, and now have any music I'd like as flac files tucked away on an archive NAS. Anything I couldn't find online, I'd obtain the CD one way or another and throw it out or return it to its owner after I'd ripped it since I had very little interest in maintaining a shelf full of plastic.
I also like reading physical books but don't like having to deal with shelves full of them, so that is easily outsourced to my County's public library system which I think is top notch.
All that is to say that I do still like having some physical manifestation of media around once in awhile, so a few vinyl records and the odd negative/slide/print are nice to have, but I only keep the greatest of the greatest hits so to speak - the bits that I find really significant.
