When to give up CDs and TT?

I was all vinyl, then all CD, then back to vinyl, now best vinyl setup I ever had, love it.

When I got my Sony xa5400es SACD Player (recommended here), I started buying some used CDs and re-discovering my existing CDs. Prior to that, I hardly listened to any even though I had a few thousand.

My solution is to weed the heck out of both my CDs and my Vinyl, keep both going and keep the best content. LPs, my rule is 1 in/2 out. CD’s I weeded the whole collection, and gave a lot of them away to several friends and my Granddaughter took all the rest, bye bye now.

My LPs are now on two 9’ long horizontal shelves, one just above standing eyeball, one just below standing eyeball, no bending allowed! And good shadow free lighting.  

"When to give up CDs and TT?"

at the exact time you ask the question.

Keep in mind:  Owning a music library can come in handy in cases where internet is down. 

My internet was down most of the day Monday but I was still in business with the music I actually own. 
 

Not just streaming, internet down can affect many important services otherwise taken for granted.  Good to have a backup plan. 

What is TT?

You can get rid of the hardware if you like. But I would not get rid of the CDs/SACDs/LPs. If you have ripped them as FLAC/DSD, then you are supposed to own them. In any case if you lose your HDD (crash/malfunction), these would be your backups.
