Most responses came from those with country code shown in the pie graph: USA 33% (442 individual responses), Great Britain 10% (there were in addition 6 from Ireland, 2 from Isle of Man), Canada 8%, Germany 7%, France 5%, Netherlands 3%, Australia 3%, and Italy 2.5%. Here are the country codes and numerical percentages for a little more detail: These days, with many of us using VPNs for security purposes, the accuracy of a map of where all responses (collected anonymously of course) originated is questionable but I think the data still gives us a sense of where audiophiles are active:Īs you can see, with an English language audiophile blog like this, the majority of respondents came from North America, Europe, with a good number (given relative population) from Australia and New Zealand. Given the nature of this blog and its contents, I'd like to think that this survey will tell us about some of the characteristics of the subgroup of intelligent, reasonable, balanced, technically savvy, prudently skeptical, practical audiophiles around the world in the first half of 2023. I don't maintain much of a social media presence so basically just let the survey diffuse across the Internet. I did not do any special advertising personally, other than mentioning it on a few forums I visited like Audiophile Style or Steve Hoffman Forum. Obviously, the individuals who submitted results to me would have been primarily the viewers on this blog although I know the survey was advertised at various audiophile-related forums. The survey collected responses from February 11 to on this blog, and as usual, the responses came from audio lovers around the world, receiving in total 1330 entries with general information on demographics, broadly what kinds of systems are being used, multichannel playback, interest in masterings, and for those using streaming subscriptions, which ones.Īs with any survey, we have to start with some context for the data.

Well ladies and gentlemen, thanks to all who took the time to complete the information in the open " SURVEY: What audio playback system and/or streaming music service are you using in 2023?" post.
