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 started with cassettes- had about 250…Then moved to CD.  I have over 1,000 CDs and then moved into vinyl.  Have about 750 records.  With streaming it helps me buy stuff that I don’t have to gamble on.  I can listen first then go find it on the format I enjoy most….the LP.  Streaming also plays a part when I’m lazy and wanna rock out

I kept my vinyl collection, but it started getting hard to find LP's, so I jumped on the CD bandwagon. I was in Japan and Korea from 1984 until 1999. The base exchange sold only CD's starting around 1986 or so. 

When I got back to the states I started buying vinyl again. I just missed the sound of vinyl and the ritual of playing records.

At the end of my CD buying days, I had around 1500. My vinyl collection consists of around 3000 LP's.

Nope. Still have all my records.
But I did buy an inexpensive Sony CD/DVD player when DVD came out. It’s still in use for both formats.

Yes bought my first CD player in the mid 80s when I picked up Dire Straits’ Brothers in Arms and I never looked back.  I’ve been hanging on to a couple of boxes of rare albums but I plan on selling them and giving them away since I no Longer have a turntable. 

I was an early adoptor of CD.   My first player was the first player , the Sony CDP 101.     For the first few months there were hardly any good pop/ rock CDs.  Mostly classical,  which I am not into.   

I put together a decent size CD collection then foolishly gave away most of my LPs.   A few years later I got back into vinyl.  I was buying great NOS LPs from a guy my Dad knew, I still have about 25 or so I bought from him and never opened.  I bought new and used and ended up with several hundred.   

About 15 years ago I sold my table , but fortunately kept my records.   My kids apparently tried using my table and broke a $500 cartridge. 

Then in 21 I got back into vinyl.   Lucky to have a couple of hundred records to get back in and hit the ground running 

I recently traded up and have a table that rivals or betters my digital front end with a great recording.
