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.

dletch2,

"Is the screen white when it is off or do I now have Wall color, white, black instead of wall color, black?"

If it is about Samsung Frame TV, the screen is black when off, but  there is more to it.

It does not have to be on the stand. It can be on the wall. It can be programmed with whatever artwork one wants. Some is already in the TV, more can be purchased, or your own artwork/photographs can be used.

Screen itself gets a frame, a few colored options. TV turns itself off if there is nobody in the room for some time.

My nephew bought it and is very happy with it. That led to me having his previous, perfectly functional 4K TV boxed in the basement.
chakster,

That The Serif to me looks just like Frame (both Samsung) to me. Maybe it is the same with different name for different market. It is as good as it gets for a TV. Otherwise, probably the best solution is ultra-short-throw projector. No screen whatsoever, as long as you have a decent wall. Unfortunately, those good ones are still a bit expensive for an average buyer.

Just one example...

4K SXRD™ Home Theater Projector | VPL-VZ1000ES | Sony US
"No way, black TV screen is so ugly in any interior,,,"

Samsung Frame. Made just for that.

"Too much computer screens in our life anyway."
I agree.

chakster, you are in a good company.

(I do not have a TV. One of the reasons is......black TV screen is so ugly in any interior.)
"I see enough interest for vinyl around me in my town and worldwide."

One person;s "enough" is other person's "very little".
"It sits idle 99% of the time as I am just not motivated to listen to it, but it does look good on my rack..."


Are you talking about my turntable?
