Question for the older folks- did you ditch vinyl when cd arrived?

I kept all my LPs and most anytime I was in lower Manhattan I’d go into J&R music and often picked up an LP but for years my predominant purchase format was cd

Vinyl has always been my format of choice as far back as I can remember. I didn't purchase my first CD player until well into the 90s which was an NAD 502 which wasn't very pleasant to listen to and broke down all the time. I eventually purchased a Sony XA20ES and began to realize what a wonderful alternative CD could be but that never diminished my love of vinyl or FM which is my format of choice when I'm not listening to a physical format.
