reubent, if you process the entirety of what I said, my comment was reflective on the point that 95% of new classical recordings are in a digital format. I'm sure that you have friends who love classical and collect classical vinyl but they are collecting vinyl from the 1980's and earlier with some exceptions. If recordings are only offered in the cd or digital file format and you insist on only purchasing vinyl, then you're not collecting newer classical recordings. As I said, there are a few exceptions where a classical label might release a recording as both a cd and as a vinyl lp but it's exceptionally rare. Additionally, some companies will remix and reissue vinyl but those recordings were made decades ago. Aside from that, go to the ArkivMusic website and see just how many cd releases are offered as compared to how many vinyl releases are offered.
