Member Almarg passed away last night

Al ( @almarg ) passed away peacefully yesterday evening, September 14th, 2020.

Margaret, Al's wife, was by his side most of the afternoon.

Both she and Al, as well as Al's family, were deeply touched by the outpouring of respect and appreciation for Al from members who, via written word, shared so very much in the 'Update on Audiogon Member Almarg' thread.

 Margaret extends her thanks, gratitude and appreciation to all members. She treasures each and every post.

@david_ten ,

From Margaret:

"Among all the other ways Al had positive contributions to make, perhaps, is that he was the first hospice patient at Yale to figure out how to pipe in music audio into the 4 Supportive Care Unit rooms."


That's a lovely anecdote. It's good to hear that for Al, just like it does for the rest of us, access to music remained a priority.

I wouldn't be surprised if he was also trying to figure out the best way to do it without incurring too many sonic compromises.

We audiophiles can't help it, we just seem to be wired that way.
