LP is all but gone from high-end audio. It's hard to find reviewers who prefer it to digital. I go to them because it's the best evidence we have. We obviously can't know every consumer's system.
But even here, look around, go to your audio societies, etc. -it's all digital.
Reviewer Jim Austin said it best: it's been 'more than decade' since LP left (high end) as a reference. Even Art Dudley and Herb Reichert, two of the remaining 'vinyl-first' people, have been reviewing a LOT of digital.
In the past 2 years -so much that they seem to be listening to digital full-time, due to constantly-new samples coming in. Why are they doing this is digital is not their beat ?
