I just couldn't do that, Jim, which is why I insist that all my sources sound equally as good, hence are equally as enjoyable to listen to. Consequently, I play CDs I've had for over 20 years just as much as I play records I've bought last month
When I went back to vinyl I actually bought very little music I had on CD and don't actually miss much of it, instead I sought out new music and moved on. As I have grown older I find my tastes have changed a lot and it has been both exciting and invigorating finding new stuff to listen too. I would not replace much of the stuff I have on CD with vinyl now apart from a few classical albums.
Ultimately I only have so much time to listen too music and I have more than enough on vinyl to satisfy my requirements. I look back at my CD collection, much of which I did not play anyway and do not miss any of them. The music I have found on vinyl has been far more satisfying to listen too.
