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

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. 

If my LPs hadn’t been destroyed I probably would have invested more in analog playback, even though I greatly preferred digital from the get go.  The reason that I started buying some LPs again around 25 years ago, and spent a few years going through turn tables from the Project budget entry level and ultimately up to a Clearaudio Concept MC , was that in Classical Music a lot of material was slow to appear digitally (or in full resolution, as opposed to mp3).  However over the last 15 years or so now everything is available digitally, in CD resolution.  I sold off my albums and analog setup around 10 years ago (the Clearaudio was the most boring sounding source I’ve ever owned, fwiw).

  Eventually I began to realize that a handful of digital masters were poorly done compared with the original LPs, so I bought a Technics Direct Drive and a decent enough phono pre to drive it.  I might spin an LP once a month 

No.  I had read in Stereophile and elsewhere that the early CDs and players didn't sound as good as good vinyl playback.  I waited until the late '80s to get my first CD players.  I wasn't impressed with their sound.  I had kept my LPs clean enough that their noise wasn't generally a problem, and my SOTA Star Sapphire took care of most warps.

I kept my vinyl and continued to buy more as well as some CDs when they were reasonably priced (e.g., "record" clubs).
