It is Tony Lauck, ex scientific bigwig at Digital Equipment Corp (late, lamented). And a classical music devotee of considerable note, now doing some of his own recording.

And I still have (temporary) possession of a tape he made of a Boston Symphony stereo broadcast of the Mahler Second back in 1958, made off two separate FM stations, for which momentous occasion he obtained two Citation tuners!

Disclaimer: I have known Tony for forty-five years, was best man at his wedding *and* gave the bride away, etc. etc. Plus we were active together at the college radio station, and he essentially taught me audio, although I had known a good deal already.

Further disclaimer: He was closely acquainted with E. Brad Meyer at prep school, then later at college the three of us hung together, and after graduation became housemates for a while, several years in the case of Brad and me.

Brad Meyer went on to become a writer for Stereo Review.
