I personally listen to
vinyl: approximately 10% of the time
digital: rest of the time

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.

The reason you have a big screen (TV?) between your speakers is to watch/listen to your favorite music concert video’s like NIN’S With Teeth or RTF’s Return or the Stones in 78 or Zappa’s Roxy and a hundred others. When the low end comes around and the whole house swells in the dark the screen comes alive and you get that kick inside. Close to being there, very close. I can get closer yet. No way, black TV screen is so ugly in any interior, also it shouldn’t be even close to audio equipment if it’s not a separate home theater room. But that’s just my opinion. Too much computer screens in our life anyway. TV between your speakers isn’t a problem at all. You could use it to elevate heights if needed. At some setups it could bring more air to the scene and make sound more atmospheric. Actually, even a window (glass) is pure evil for room acoustic and must be covered if possible by absorbers or diffusers. Glass (or tv screen) act like a mirror for sound, on side or rear wall is even more evil than behind the speakers. In the living room (if it’s also a listening room) it’s impossible to get rid of the windows, so it’s a compromise like in my room. But if you can get rid of the TV between the speakers and put acoustic panels instead then it’s a huge benefit. I ordered acoustic analysis of my room and I use acoustic panels instead of TV screens :) |
