HiFi laundry

I'm a huge vinyl fan too. But I'd never get rid of my seedees, digital files or Qobuz subscription. There's just too much good  music out there that's not available on vinyl. And digital sound quality has come a long way in the past 20 years. It's no longer the compromise it once was. At least not in my opinion.

I think you'll regret it. Maybe not right away, but down the road.

I think that I could see a couple of motives for ridding yourself of a technology you no longer believe in. One could simply be space - getting rid of your digital equipment saves rack space, and also storage for the discs themselves. If you lack space, that makes sense. Another might be money - but I doubt you would get a big return on your used discs and digital equipment. But maybe, as you say, enough to contribute to a good cartridge or something.

For me, I believe in diversifying most things in my life: friends, interests, equipment, beliefs (I do enjoy having just one spouse, however!) When I lock down my options to just one, or very few, I feel like I am missing the learning that the other options could bring me. I play vinyl maybe 80% of the time now, but spending time on Qobuz learning about new artists, or listening to good FM radio hosts talk about music, feels like a worthy use of my time. It is expansive, and I don't want to be contracting as I head into old(er) age.

I did with cleaning out my lps 10 years ago on my to buy back more than I had...lol.

At today’s level of technology in high end audio. You can basically achieve the same level of audio between vinyl, CD, and streaming for roughly the same amount of money. If one is superior to the other it is the technology choices that make it so. The sound you get from any media is dependent on the components you put in place. In my system Vinyl = Streaming = CD = stored files. Only thing is, had I not invested in Vinyl my streaming system could sound better than it does now.  I have a $45K vinyl end and a $45K digital end on my main system, and a $7K digital end on my headphone system. 

If you like vinyl for the inconvenience and  expense... you can make it great. If you like streaming, you can make it great. 

I have both

I suggest the OP hold onto his digital gear for awhile until they are “positive” for no more digital, otherwise rebuilding is a pain and likely costly. 

If you, no, when you decide to come back to the digital side of things it’s going to be expensive to back in the game. I’d say do not sell.

As someone who is probably more than 85% vinyl in listening, I don't know what changes digital will yield in the next few years. The sonics of digital have vastly improved in the last X years (I'm reluctant to assign a date to this), as has the sonics to price equation,  so it is a question whether the gear you'd hold on to or sell now will yield a better price or be worthless in a couple years. Very little of this equipment (digital or analog) appreciates in value, though prices seem to increase due to economies of material, labor and trade, generally. I'm not a deep digital user- I have it simply to access more content. If you are unsure, as it sounds like you are, hold the hardware, stop the subscriptions. 

My vinyl collection started in the 60s and I moved them from country to country and state to state multiple times without ever getting rid of any. CDs will stay too. And now streaming with zero chance of myself getting rid of that either. Unless you are short on space or have a wife who won't put up with all the stuff. I resolved both by building the house of stereo. Best audio thing I ever done by a mile.

Thanks for the answers, guys. Just to be clear, I am not thinking of giving up digital altogether. I couldn't do that because of the way the vinyl signal is processed digitally. I'd be keeping the capability to play my local music FLAC files (three thousand albums) and at least one streaming service, possibly Spotify. What I meant was to get rid off all the extraneous non-essential gear. I have marked these with an asterisk on my virtual system.
