I think you're right that it was when CDs finally started taking over the market. I actually never switched over to CDs. I have a few, but other than those twenty or so that I own, I've remained steadfastly loyal to vinyl. It actually makes a huge difference in sound quality with the SST catalog. The vinyl sounds about a thousand times better than the CD versions, mostly because the CD versions were all mastered wrong (and Greg Ginn has no plans to remaster any of it).
