and never did, even for a moment, though I adopted most of the newer formats too.
The main reason: I want music on vinyl that was never reissued in a digital format.
A (very) secondary reason: Though digital reissues routinely sound better than the vinyl originals (to me, YMMV) they often do not, and sometimes remastering results in significant changes that might not have been preferred by the artists.
Follow Ups:
No to all your questions. Had 4000 lps at one time. Now only stream from Tidal. I now have hundreds of thousands of albums to choose from and my current digital setup sounds as good if not better than LP and I had a very expensive turntable, cartridge, phono amp setup

Still have a couple TT set up (one on either side of the TV).
One problem is no place to set up a record cleaning machine. In our old place in Utah (3,000 Sq Ft) I had so many bathrooms it was easy to commandeer one exclusively for record cleaning. Second problem is not really great record store in town selling classical at giveaway pricing as was the case with Randy's Records in Salt Lake City (average selling price of $2.99 with many near mint at $0.99).
