when CD's were first introduced I bought a CD player, probably not very expensive, a few CD's and immediately began scouring ALL the used record stores in Western Washington (Seattle and north) in fear that vinyl would 'disappear'
for once I got it right ! I was able to load my vinyl collection with hundreds of mint, original issue records that reside in my collection to this day. I thought CD's sounded shrill, thin, harsh and in no way comparable to my vinyl playback system
over many years and many CD players later, as technology progressed, CD's became acceptable to me and now both formats are part of my total collection of physical format music reproduction - new and different is not always better, IMHO
