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

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).

I was disappointed with the sound of CD when it was first released so I just kept buying LPs. The sound of digital eventually caught up, but the best version of some recordings is still the LP, so I’ve maintained all of my LP playback gear and records.
