Take a look at the new vinyl listings on Amazon. The majority have are rap and hip hop titles.
I suppose if the OP's question is specifically directed at the increase in audiophile vinyl sales, then you might be correct. But, I suspect there is larger market growth in vinyl sales related to rap, hip hop, and non-audiophile titles, and these have nothing to do with better sound quality. It's kids' curiosity in nostalgia which fuels an appreciation for the medium, and promotes more sales.
So, I guess the root of my argument is that increased vinyl sales are fueled by kids, not by audiophiles, and improved sound quality of LPs over MP3s is not the motivating factor.
