Member Almarg passed away last night

Never had the opportunity to meet him but he was at the top of the list of folks I would love to have met.

I always took note of his very informative posts and often look up his posts when doing research on some new hifi topic that I know he talked about.

And yes, if look up the word "mensch" there should be a picture of Al there.

I believe he is the only person I know of with advanced degrees in both Engineering and Law. That gave him unique and insightful perspective on many things plus he was so uniquely literate and focused when he wrote, in addition to possessing such deep knowledge in many areas.

Can't say enough nice things about him.  One of a kind!

My condolences to Al’s family and close friends. RIP Al, your passing creates a deep void in those that both came into casual contact and to personally know you. You will be missed my friend.

How sad. My condolences.
Another good audiophile down.
Take care of yourselves out there. Especially old timers from the 70s/80s. Each one we lose represents a serious loss of experience, knowledge and wisdom that contributes daily to an entire “social memory” we share by communicating over years with newer audiophiles.

My condolences to Margaret and family as they grieve the loss of Almarg, who was truly a remarkable and giving individual. You are in my thoughts and prayers...

Rest in peace, Al. You were always the gentleman on the site, and always full of great advice. You will be missed.
