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 tend to be a slow adopter of new stuff.

I resisted getting into CD in the early years when the technology was still evolving.  My first CD player was in my SUV in the early '90s.  Obviously I have kept all my vinyl.

I still buy vinyl, CDs, and SACDs, tho I did quit buying cassettes.  Inconsistent internet service has helped keep me from getting into streaming -- thankyou Spectrum!

Quboz was not available in the late 80s the 1990s and early 2000s, Nor was the iPhone or iPad.

I did not. I was determined to stick with vinyl. Bought my first CD/SACD player around 2 or 3 years ago 

Yes but not consciously or deliberately.

I was at boarding school when CDs happened. The form factor of CDs together with the fact that my Phillips CD 151 player seemed to sound cleaner than my LPs, meant that I first started acquiring CDs in preference to LPs and later just stopped freighting the vinyl. My LPs stayed at my parents’ house along with the Garrad turntable until they downsized and got rid of everything. 
 

Now, in my 50s I am back to vinyl but with a deliberate approach to getting the very best out of it.
