Vintage Pete, thanks for your thoughtful tribute. Your loss is greater than mine because I didn't know Dan personally. Still, I miss him on this site and I know I'm not the only one who misses your friend.
One of the things that makes AA special - aside from it being The Friendly Forum for High-End Audio - is that it's a real community. Of course, many online forums are a "community," but only in a virtual sense. Here it's genuine - users who actually know each other, visit with each other and care for each other.
So I am sorry for your loss, Pete. I know Dan was a special guy and that a good friend is a very precious thing.
