What are you listening to?

Just trying to get more info about our readers.  What percentage of you are listening
to vinyl vs. CD and perhaps hi-rez formats...

50/50.....but CD is nothing more than background music while I work.

I used to listen to LP's about 90% of the time, but since I got this
Meridian 808, the CD percentage is going up all the time!

But I am also the Crowned Prince of extinct formats too!
I have a pile of RTR tapes, cassettes, 8-Tracks and even
a few Mini Discs!

There was a used record store down the street from my
daughter's school that was closing out their used cassette
stock and I got about 250 cassettes for 75 bucks!  It was
a blast.  Reference quality, no way, but big fun...

I'm probably 80% Squeezebox and 20% CDs.  I like the vinyl sound but just can't commit to it.

Well, the LP thing is tough if you don't already have a collection.

The sources of good used records are out there, but the prices
keep going up up.

BTW, I love my Squeezebox, it's fantastic!  Working on the
Welborne Power supply upgrade for a future review...

At home - 100% Bolder Cable modified Squeeze Box 2.

At work - 100% iPod

In the car and other odd times I actually have to break out a physical cd.

Mostly CD . . . . would like to build a new vinyl rig, but just don't have the time right now. I AM very interested in the Squeezebox idea, will probably act on it later this year.

At home: 60% CD (some SACD) 30% vinyl. Will swing back to more vinyl once house renovations are complete and I can properly set up the system.

Can't listen to music at work at all  :cry:

98% digital, the other 2% is FM radio. I have also just converted to my computer for either CD playback or EAC ripped play back to my DAC. LP's? about once every six months to play some tunes that have not, and probably never will come out on CD.
