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

I made the switch because, at the time, I was very focused on exploring Jazz and the original Blue Notes and such on vinyl were quite expensive in used record shops in Southern Maine. There were major Jazz reissue programs underway on CD, so it was a matter of economics. I bought a Sony ES something or other... sounded like a box of dimes tossed down a stairwell, paired with a Harmon Kardon integrated and Boston Acoustics speakers. I eventually switched to a Denon, which was definitely an improvement. I've heard friends' high end vinyl systems. They sound nice but I don't enjoy the music I favor on vinyl any more than I do on my CD system. I've never considered going back. 

I Ditched LP when CD became available because they have nearly twice as much music on them, also I became disenchanted with Turntables as they were difficult to quantify at that time.some of the Family worked for Philips so we were OK!. The first two CD I purchased .. Andrea's Vollenweider White Winds and Yes 90125.

Let us not forget Cassette. Elcaset, MiniDisk, Reel to Reel, Solid State SD card and CD-r with smatterings of WAV on Hard Drives. With the return of the turntable at $6000 upwards for that which everyone wanted to get rid of.

I was very intrigued with CDs, especially as a replacement for cassette tape. I started buying them at a rate of about 1 per month. $17 bucks for a classical CD was a lot for me in my youth. Each CD got listened to a LOT! I didn’t ditch LP right away because I had too much music on LP to do that. However I noticed early on that some albums sounded better on LP than on CD. Chariots of Fire was one I remember specifically. On the LP the sound was very immersive and filled the room with spacy effects. And that was from a JC Penny MCS cheapo stereo. On CD it seemed too bright and the sound stage was clear and precise but flat and limited to between the speakers. There were also very obvious low level linearity issues with early cheap CD players like I had, causing flutes to sound unnaturally breathy, and even causing some CDs to exhibit audible buzzing sounds. A few generations later those issues disappeared, but tonality seeming to be too bright on some transfers from older LP releases remained. 

I ditched vinyl when I joined the military in 1981. I had pretty much given away my collection and sold everything else. Had a B&O turntable back then that I had purchased new. I married while in the military and had other priorities in my life than a stereo with my family and moving all the time. When I finally did get interested in audio again the CD player came out and prices were much lower after several years of its release. I had no interest in buying a new vinyl collection again and was all in on CD's. Only do streaming today. It would be cool doing vinyl again but would rather spend the money on other parts of my system instead.

No, I didn’t like the sound of CD when it first appeared. Fortunately, it got better eventually.
