NO, but I read many music and hi-fi periodicals
and see all the vendors catalogs too, its not a market
of dance tracks or new title SACDs, it a big reissue market of specially
pressed discs, mostly 180gram vinyl.
i think it's probably a split market, you're seeing the audiophile side
of it and i'm seeing the DJ/pop side
though i can find numbers for overall vinyl sales (increasing rapidly,
but still a miniscule proportion), and tons of commentary, no one seems
to have the numbers by type of release or genre; even Nielsen Soundscan
is going to miss a lot of the dance tracks because it doesn't cover all
sales; Nielsen, for what it's worth, shows six out of ten top vinyl
sellers last year were new releases:

but that's not a good way to summarize the market
note that i don't buy any type of newly-issued vinyl -- i only buy old
scratchy stuff -- more fun and "vinyl charm", less fuss
Regarding "proof" to back up my contentions, where?s
the "proof" for yours concerning nre release SACD or dance tracks
outselling legacy vinyl reissues????
i didn't ask for proof, just anything to support what you were stating
as fact; unlike you, i don't have a contention here -- i stated my
_impression_; and i haven't said anything about SACD at all in this thread
