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

A story about vinyl vs CD. My uncle was an "eccentric" neurologist living in the French Quarter of New Orleans when I was a kid. This would have been mid 1970s. I remember his music room. A full wall of vinyl. All classical. All MacIntosh components and enormous Klipsch speakers. We used to visit him every few years. 

When I visited him when I was in college the vinyl was gone, replaced by a wall of CDs. He ran from vinyl as soon as he was able. And while I don't know the details, Sony and several other CD producers would send him pre-release classical CDs for his input. He had an audiophile's ears and an exhaustive knowledge of classical music.

So whatever other folks heard in early CDs that led them to stick with vinyl it clearly didn't bother my uncle. And I admired him so much that I followed his example when CDs came out.

@obnicnet  That is unfortunate! I know the feeling. I went for Sony Betamax while the rest went with VHS. 

I think my digital shame comes not from adopting CDs but rather early-adopting Laserdisc. 

Yes, but with an asterisk: that switch coincided with when I left home.

Interesting story: About 12 years ago my mother "donated" a huge pile of vinyl records to a secondhand book store.  I found out where that store was, about 30 miles from their home.  Went there and went dumpster diving - literally - with my wife in tow standing outside the dumpster.  Rescued the old vinyl from my childhood and gained some additional treasures.

Apparently these thrift book stores throw away any vinyl that isn't Beatles.  

These days my vinyl is out on a large bookshelf and my CDs are in some dusty closet.  Oh, how times have changed...

Not A Chance in Hell! 

I accumulated all the records I hadn’t gotten during the sixties, which meant the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Moody Blues, records I hadn’t collected in the 1960s 1n 1970s. I was still in San Francisco, still a DJ. I got records every week through the record pool. I still have around 5,000 pieces of vinyl, down from 15,000. But those are ones I began buying in 1958. They’re going nowhere. Ever.

And my turntable is going nowhere, either  not even with me having a "top-of-the-world-Ma"  DCS converter! There’s something about how vinyl expands in a way that is entirely lifelike - and enthralling!!!

Besides, to my ears, digital was not remotely as good as vinyl if you were listening to the classical music forms: classical, jazz, gospel, blues, r&b and THE SINGERS! The Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Sinatra, Julie London, Kiri Te Kawana, Yma Sumac types of singers. They sound magnificent on vinyl, and just very, very, very good on digital. Vinyl is more 'effortless' musically in an audio medium, I find.

Define "older folks".
