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

It was the late 1970s, I first listened to a CD at my local stereo dealer.  It was an album I had in vinyl.  Sounded GREAT (without an immediate reference point.)  When I got home I put my vinyl on the turntable.  It happened to be a Sheffield labs direct to disc.  Made me realize that the CD was NOT as good as my D2D vinyl.  Never did buy a CD.  To this date I still listen to vinyl.  No streaming or anything else.  I do have a very high end system.  Maybe this is necessary to hear vinyl properly.

@kronos96 whenever you first heard a CD, it wasn’t late 1970’s. Just saying- 

Dismissing streaming, in my opinion, is a mistake. Let’s say I agree that vinyl is better (sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t), yet with streaming you have a huge library of music to sample and decide if you want to pick it up in vinyl. There are plenty of recordings I like enough to have in my Qobuz library, but not enough to buy on vinyl. A secondary benefit of digital- I do not touch my turntables after having a 2nd drink. Don’t want to risk the stylus on either of my tables. 

No.  In fact I took advantage of a few others disposing of collections to pick from theirs.  I ended up with about 3,000 but reduced that to 1,000 "favorites" when I moved a few years ago.

Yes I did, had a VPI, had lots of fun with it but got frustrated with dealing with Vinyl. Having to deal with flipping the album everytime. I can now same the same thing with CDs, happy we don’t have to deal with physical formats. Would still enjoy have a good turntable again for the occasional nostalgia of being able to compare sound quality with analog vs digital.  

Yes, because my two year old’s friend at the time trashed my cartridge, and given where I had to put my system in my living room I could see it happening again, so I shifted over to CDs and didn’t listen to vinyl again for over a decade.  I did keep all my albums however.
