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

Still listen to about 1 CD a day in my nice office system.
My reaction is, "Wow, it sounds really interesting." compared to my analog rig, "Wow, I am speechless."

I’m talking about lazy audiophiles and 90% of the a’gon members are over 60, they are often complaining that it’s too complicated for them to flip vinyl record while they are listening to music, and “clicks and pops” are so annoying for them, so they discovered better format and this format is CD (sensational news).

Again, I think you are over-gereralizing. I’m 63. Many in my age group left vinyl completely by the 90’s and went to primarily CD’s, and then to streaming. It was a natural progression, and most didn’t want to reinvest in a turntable rig after 30 years. Some, as I, did. But that has nothing to do with laziness, just how the music media changed and also what the manufacturers were concentrating on. When CD’s were released, and I went to a high end audio shop back then, believe me, they were pushing CD players, not turntables. That was the future, and that is what they were pushing.

Its a shame, but that was just the reality.

I’m an old fart. I never stopped listening to vinyl, it has slowly been going down in relative use. For a long time my system would oscillation between the analog sounding a lot better and not so much better. So now I have a top of the line music server and a near the top new Linn LP12 with 2,000 albums. The analog side is better than the digital side... but finally both are very satisfying. I play albums about 15% of the time. It is fun to hear the extra level of detail. but I’m not that fond of getting up every 20 minutes. Sometimes it is just fun to search for used vinyl, clean, and play it. On the other hand I have access to hundreds of thousands of albums via music server to explore and only 2,000 albums.

A better question would be what is the percentage of people (humans) that don't know the difference.

Maybe, but I’m 45 this year and I sold all my CDs in the early 90’s and since that time I don’t have anything but vinyl/turntables in my system and keep searching and buying OG records all the time (if i’m not completely broke). A friend came with his high-end DAC and high resolution streaming to compare digital to analog in my system, the original LP was so much better that high resolution digital (he was upset a bit). Many of my younger friends are into vinyl, very few are into both vinyl and digital.

But we’re in Russia, St.Petersburg. Maybe it’s a cultural difference. Also different generation as I said earlier.

I don’t thing digital is natural progression from analog. Digital is ok only for new music recorded on digital master. But digital copy from good analog tape is bad. For old music lovers digital can’t replace the analog. There are oustanding quality records recorded in the 70’s (my favorite period).
