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

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. 

I started collecting vinyl around 1975 1976 and continued to build my collection until I got sent to Greece when I was in the army. When I got ready to return home from Greece, I was allowed to sell anything that I wanted to without paying the VAT tax that’s normally collected when you sell something overseas, so I had a sale at my home and my vinyl records went like wildfire for a very good sum of money. I sold every one that I had except one which was Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick. I have no idea why that one remained, but I still have it today.  I adopted CD as my as my media of choice as of 1990, and have not bought vinyl again until just this past year when I started collecting again. I also inherited 60 or 70 albums from a brother-in-law that recently passed away and that jumpstarted my collection a little bit.  I think I have about 300 titles now on vinyl. I also have several hundred in CD and another hundred or so on SACD.

I kept my vinyl and tapes for many years.

The turntable stopped being used when it ran a little fast in the 2000s. Had an amount of CDs by then.

Still have my records in the attic.

Yes, but honestly, convenience and size was a huge factor.  I never wanted to get into the whole cartridge mounting. arm mounting thing, so the P-mount cartridge was to me, ideal.  So when that vanished, I had less and less reason to attempt a vinyl collection.
