I think if you have a vinyl collection in good condition that you enjoy, keep it. If you don't own any vinyl or a turntable, it is probably less expensive to get something very good that can come close to or even meet the vinyl sound, depending on the recording, CD (or preferably SACD) manufactured quality or actual resolution of the streams.
Having been in college during prime collecting and music exploring years before CD players were created, naturally I have vinyl. When they stopped making it in the 90's almost completely, I had to get a CD player (very reluctantly), which was quieter from ticks and pops, but lacked the depth and quality sound of vinyl. Disconnected it about 15 years ago when vinyl production picked up. Now I am getting my favorite CDs on vinyl, so the record companies win again.
I hear with some streaming and SACDs, digital has really improved a lot, but my tastes haven't changed much, and my favorite artists have largely stopped creating anything new I like, or unfortunately kicked the bucket, so it's 100% vinyl (at home) for me. Car is either Sirius or CDs. Changing channels is a pain, so I prefer CDs.
