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

@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 :))))

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.

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.

I also have different systems, at least 3 different pairs of speakers, 6 turntables, 4 different phono stages and over 20 different cartridges and 9 tonearms, but I do not listen to digital in any of my systems for one reason (all my favorite music originally recorded in analog before digital was invented and I don’t like the sound of digital remastering, I like original pressings). Digital in my situation with my taste in music is irrelevant and it’s only a good tool to discover music and buy it on OG vinyl. I hope you understand my point of view.

Digital is perfect when the master is digital, so the choice of music is limited to something from the 80’s to a present day, but early digital is not good too.

Digital on vinyl is nonsense in my opinion, in this scenario digital source is better.

But analog master tape converted to digital is BS, this is why most of the re-issues are so bad compared to the original. I replaced most of my reissues purchased long time ago with original pressings and I was shocked how better those vintage records really are. 

Pure magic of vinyl is 100% analog (mastertape to vinyl, or direct cut), it can be new or old.

I don’t want to discuss acoustic treatment because it’s off topic here, but I have dedicated thread about acoustic panels on this forum, I realized that very few people on this forum taking care about acoustic treatment.

Never owned a CD player.  Well, other than the ones that came with the cars.  Bought about 20 CDs in my life to play in our cars.  For the home stereo, have only ever had vinyl for playback.  Well, and the boob toob.  Own about 1200 albums, about half of which were bought in the mid 90's for between 25 cents and 2 or 3 dollars at The Record Exchange in Eugene, OR, where so many poor blighters nearly gave their vinyl away in trade for "perfect sound forever CDs"...poor misguided blighters, I feel sorry for every one of them.

A couple examples: Pink Floyd Pink Floyd Tower Records: $1.  Willie The Lion Smith Live at Blues Alley Halcyon: $2  Big Mama Thornton In Europe Arhoolie: $0.50.  Learned to leave the price stickers on in order to avoid damage to the covers by trying to remove them.  It's fun now to see these crazy low prices on these amazing albums!

Yes, I feel very sorry for those folks.

1200 vinyl albums!??... you lucky man.. since 80’s I collected only half of this plus last summer my old man gave me his life long LPs collection (about 200 albums) most of it in pretty dirty condition. When I have time I clean them album by album and spin them. Some r ok and some are really jewels. : ) I’ve got my LP of Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here also at Tower Records at NYC4th & Broadway in 1995 and the price was some where about $3..

Like others here I'm in my 60s and got hooked on music when I was under 10 years old. I've been putting systems together since I was 14. My last TT was a LINN LP12, so I was into it.  When CDs came out I jumped on board, but it was a rough ride, but the pursuit of a quality digital sound became one of the fun parts of this hobby for me. Being a tweak I always felt bad when my vinyl would develop a new tick, the whole rig seemed like it was wearing out all the time while I listened, records, stylus. Personal problem I know.
 I have no doubt that a vinyl rig would sound more musical compared to my digital rig, but I'm afraid to try as I would be on a 50K trip to buy all the right gear to play my vinyl. Streaming for me is all about the music. It has nothing to do with being lazy about getting up to service my TT. I'm not all about playing old stuff, I love learning about new musicians and exploring new sounds. I devour the music sections of Absolute Sound and Stereophile and get to listen to all the new music I want. I also listen to internet radio and get new songs and artists from there all the time.  I also feel good about contributing money to those artists through my streaming fees, even though its a very small amount it still supports the artists. Listening to old CDs and records, or buying used does nothing to support the artists. I have a dCS DAC/streamer and while certainly not the end of my digital equipment rainbow it meets my sound quality needs, doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing everything out as I listen, and it opens up the world of music to me. So another vote for digital 100%.
