| What were the radio stations of your youth that helped you on your music/audio journey? Does anyone remember “Music through the Night” on WCBS AM in New York with Bill Hall sponsored by American Airlines. All night classical music on a commercial variety radio station during the day. GREAT memorable pop theme song for the broadcast... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados With streaming sounding as good as it does I don’t see how the CD market is going to survive much longer..Already Amazon has many titles only available as downloads. | |
| What percentage of the time do you listen to records vs. digital sources? One caveat.After an analog binge (even though the SQ is close) it takes me a little time to accommodate myself to digital. |
