In Reply to: Reviewers with LP - how many are there ? posted by J. Phelan on March 3, 2017 at 18:48:26:
Do you think there is a lack of reviews of new tt's/arms/cartridges/phono stages? Certainly doesn't seem like it to me. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a review of any of those where the reviewer doesn't have another tt/arm/cart./phono stage to use in a comparison.
Does using LP's in the course of reviewing, say, an amp make the review(er) any more credible to you?
I doubt the majority of AA inmates still own and regularly listen to vinyl. Despite the "vinyl revival" sales of records are still tiny compared to digital music. The overwhelming majority of new releases are not analog and are not released as LP's.
I don't find it surprising at all that fewer reviewers own/use vinyl systems. But AFAIK there is still plenty of them left to review virtually every new analog product that is offered by manufacturers.
