can this fact be accurate?


on a blog I read that there are 100,000 high end audiophiles out there. not sure if the author meant worldwide or in the u.s.a. if this is true the pie must get sliced pretty thin for manufacturers. any demographic sites out there that anyone knows about?

If this statement really is a fact (which I cannot confirm or deny), it is accurate. ;-)

Kal, I can't understand why the high end magazines push vinyl and denigrate digital when this is the path to a slow death for the high end. Can you set me straight?
There are two issues. One is that a large proportion of our readership remains committed to vinyl and they want to read about it. The other is that we do not denigrate digital and have devoted much to digital reproduction and, more recently, to computer-based media. One might see all this as an imbalance but that depends on your perspective.

I do not speak for any other magazines nor do I speak officially for Stereophile.
