I was a big fan of Tower. Sometimes I would also order on-line and never had ANY problems. Service was always great. This summer I placed an order with the "New" Tower on-line. I ordered 10 CDs. Only 1 arrived after 6 weeks. I tried emailing and never got a response. I tried calling and could never get through. 2 months later I finally was able to get my money back. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! I do miss 'brousing' in stores but what can you do? Lately I've been using Arkiv when they have sales, not quite the same as a physical store, but better selection! I've also tried a few downloads from iTunes (as a matter of fact some of Shubert's string quartets on Naxos), but I am still not sold on the quality of downloads.
