It all comes down to whether you have the room to fit them both. If so, keep the vinyl. I am in the same boat listening now through streaming 90% of the time. I do have over 2k vinyl and hundreds of CDs. I keep them all because they all sound equally good and I made the room for all 3 systems. Options are always nice, even if it's only 10% of the time.
Have you asked yourself this question?
Lately I have thought about selling my entire analog set-up: Turntable, phono preamp, and vinyl collection. It's a good system, but my digital system sounds good enough that I don't listen to the analog system any more.
For purposes of illustrating my dilemma, my system is as follows:
Analog system: Linn Sondek LP12, upgraded with Lingo II power supply, Karousel bearing, and trampolin suspension. Loci Psionic Tonearm with practically new Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. Plus, about 450 records, mostly popular stuff from the late 60s, 70s and 80s.
Digital System: Metrum Acoustics Streamer (Roon endpoint) plus Metrum Onyx DAC.
Just curious if any of you have thought about selling your entire analog rig, because you don't listen to it. What did you finally decide? Interested in your experiences.
