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

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

Older guy here, age 71 and counting. No, I never sold any of my records. I did buy CD's but mostly for listening to in the car, replacing my cassette tapes and my old Pioneer Super Tuner which finally bit the dust. I'm glad I never sold them and although I plan to start streaming, I still don't plan to sell any although space limitations do factor into how many more records I'll buy.

I'm an old guy also. I have tried many of the formats over the years - 8-track!! for the car (hated that middle-of-the-song track skip), TEAC deck with Dolby NR for cassettes, Dual turntable with Shure cartridge for LPs,  LPs have to be treated with kid gloves if you want them to last. When CDs came along, I bought a Nakamichi MusicBank and left the LPs behind. I also listened to a lot of FM radio when I lived in Chicagoland, since there were several good rock and classical stations available. Now I live in the mountains west of Denver, and find it difficult to get quality FM reception even with a yagi antenna. So circumstances have prompted me to try streaming, and I really appreciate the vast universe of music that is now available to me. 

I did not sell my LPs and began buying CDs as they became the dominant format.

As a collector, I enjoy having music in the original format it was released in or recorded for when possible.  As an audiophile, I try to get the best sound out of all of the formats in my collection.  

No, I worked in a record store and we all thought those early CDs sounded like crap. I had a few, but not many. Like many, I was a strident vinyl purist. As the 80’s moved into the 90’s, CD playback got better and they started reissuing all kinds of stuff, an amazing out of music became available. And playback and CDs got better and better. During that time I started seriously buying more CDs because it sounded good. I still liked and bought vinyl but over time I bought more CDs. I worked at various record stores and got lots of promos. By the late 90's early 00's I was buying mostly CDs. 

Now I have large collections of vinyl and CDs. My listening room is screen free so no streaming. Never streamed. I don’t want to pay so I can listen to some crappy remaster by an aging artist with no high end hearing left and I don’t want to deal with more equipment and some sort of device to deal with it. I like picking something from the shelf and living in the material world.
