What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?


I well remember in the ‘80s when we were amazed and thrilled by CD.
Wow, no more pops and clicks and all the physical benefits.
Seems so many abandoned vinyl.
But now, with so much convenience, available content and high SQ seems even dedicated vinylholics have again abandoned vinyl and embraced digital. However, there is clearly a new resurgence in analog.
But I look at, for example, whitecamaro’s “List of amplifiers...” thread and no one seems interested in analog!
To me, it seems strange when auditioning “$100Kish gear, that vinyl doesn’t enter the picture or conversation.

I would trip the stand and break it in the first few weeks. Putting 55" of glass on an easy to trip over stand does not make me say "I gotta have it" :-).  Is the screen white when it is off or do I now have Wall color, white, black instead of wall color, black?

(glass) is pure evil for room acoustic and must be covered if possible by absorbers or diffusers.
You missing the whole point. Acoustic reflection process is pure physics and implementation of it into the listening room setup, where the goal is full Spectrum music SQ (some time customised depends on genre or personal preference), is balanced process and not always dogmatic but compromised. Some flows of sound Spectrum you want to be reflected other not, that why all those room acoustic analysis services are silly. If you just try to break your sound flow with  diffusers and rugged walls to as smallest particles you can, you wrong cause you will get nothing but dull woolly sound. Check it out how glass or sleek surface could be implemented-

It is impossible to control  the timing of sound wavefronts without using ALSO  positively reflective surface or introducing new reflective surface  if needed in a room...

 All acoustic  is about  balance control....

@surfmuz First of all please post a link to your system and your room if you can.

In your video link a Russian guy sitting in a very small room with very low ceiling with huge speakers and some sick setup! Why did you post this?

My room acoustic analysis made by professionals, who are you to say it’s silly?

Each acoustic panel designed for work with certain range of frequencies and does not placed randomly, it’s not necessary to cover the whole room with panels everywhere to get dull sound, but there are absolutely necessary to cover first reflection points with acoustic panels, front and rear walls, ceiling also, the rest is more complicated.

For me it's no brainer to compare two rooms (one with bare walls, another with acoustic treatment).

This is a great channel to watch about acoustic treatment. So many different topics and everything explained very well.

Before someone chime in I want to say that digital processing in room acoustic should not be used with analog source (but can be used with digital source). Acoustic panels and room itself are the only methods for proper acoustic treatment with analog source (for us who listen to VINYL mastered in analog before digital was invented).


As I can see in your other thread the question you asked about analog setup is a bit strange.


P.S. People who listen to digital should think twice before they post something for those who listen to a pure analog source only. Digital processing is death for analog signal.





@chakster
Looks like you done full investigation on me... :)))))))))) quit it plz cause personalisation of discussion is first sign of lack of arguments.
”strange” is term which pretty subjective isn’t it!? Yah, you right, I don’t like to be bounded and narrowed by exclusiveness of analog sect only :))))) and I have both  concepts in my main system, however I can implement analog or digital truck of my main system totally independently except amplification end which is analog. I’ll tell you more, I have second system in my basement which is low wattage high efficiency full analog... oh...and I’ll tell you even more, I have third system in my tools room which is, I repent, fully digital :))))

That type of statements r pretty authoritarian:))) stylistically it’s not far from soviet era slogans or speeches of diplomats from totalitarian countries at UN :)))) ...seriously man, it’s won’t have any effect here.
