Member Almarg passed away last night

Just this past May I learned through a conversation with Al that he owned a pair of Daedalus Ulysses speakers (for the past ten years). Al said he would likely never make it out to see Daedalus’ operation, so as it happens, Daedalus Audio is 15 minutes down the road from me. With camera in hand I went down and introduced myself to the owner, Lou Hinkley and toured his operation. Once done, I sent all those picture along with a long narrative back to Al so he at least got a chance to see where his speakers originated from. I was so happy I could do this for Al.
A true gentleman, with vast amounts of knowledge. My deepest sympathy goes out to Margaret & family.
Al will truly be missed.

Sad to hear, much love to his family.

So sad to hear about Almarg's passing. My condolences to his family and his friends.
Robert

My profound condolences to Margaret and family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  We were all truly blessed here at Audiogon to have had the opportunity to interact with Al. Al was always the voice of reason and will be sorely missed.  Our loss is heaven's gain.

Every organization with which I have been associated has a group of individuals that collectively constitute the soul of the organization.  When those people are lost, the organization looses something that can't be replaced.  Al was a big part of Audiogon's soul.  He was a gentleman's gentleman and a scholar's scholar.  His tone was always polite and collegial- even when he was dealing with neophytes and buffoons.    Those of us who wish to honor his memory would do well to emulate him.

Goodbye my friend.
