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

I bought my first CD player in the summer of 1992 though I started buying CD’s during the autumn of 1991. A mail-order Technics for $130 from J&R Music in NYC. I already had a modest LP collection and a nice British belt-drive TT/tonearm/lomc cartridge/SUT.

I jumped on the CD bandwagon when they first came out.  I remember buying my first CD player, a Sharp unit at a Best Buy (which was also a new store back then).  I then started buying CD;s and rarely purchased any more vinyl.  I kept playing the vinyl I had, but slowly faded away from it.  After the advent of ripping to a digital file, I converted my whole collection to a hard drive.  Later I re-ripped my entire collection in lossless format and stored on a NAS.  I still buy CD's but gave my entire vinyl collection to my son.
