I have 700 albums representing everything I've enjoyed since childhood as well as new stuff I've yet to explore. They're all digital files. Going by what I actually play, I think I could easily cut this in half. How about you?

650 sounds manageable. For some reason, when I had more than this I found it a bit frustrating choosing what to play. Enjoy!

As I said elsewhere, my physical collection is probably around 2000 albums in all. In the last 6 months, I've worked on digitizing. organizing, and tagging it all. I have it on a Navidrome server and use Symfonium on mobile.

Yes, a large collection can be overwhelming, but now I can just have my entire collection shuffled or pick from a list of random albums. When I go the album route (most times), I make an effort to select something that I haven't listened to a thousand times.
