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.

Deepest condolences...I haven’t been on in a long time and read this last week and had to contribute.Al always had lots of good info...just a good soul....Big rip al....and keep the volume down.^^^
@falconquest  (from above)...

we must also remember to celebrate a life well lived, which it sure sounds to me that Al led.

In addition to Al's audio related posts, I always enjoyed reading his posts that pointed to his love of Porsche.

Lest Porsche be given a bad name, hifiman5, I regret to say that the Porsche of recent years seems to have no resemblance to the company as it appears to have existed in 2000, based on Bruce's description of it as "bad" at that time.

My experience purchasing two such vehicles in the past four years (a 2014 Cayman S and a 2017 Macan S) has been nothing short of amazingly good in every conceivable respect. And in recent years Porsche has ranked at or very near the top among all manufacturers in J. D. Power surveys of initial quality and longer term customer satisfaction.

Sorry! Regards,

-- Al

So Sorry and Sad to hear this.

Al was always a true Gentelman,
by kindly and generously sharing his knowledge, informing and educating those like myself when understanding of things electronics and electrical had hit a wall...
I for one am in his debt.

Thanks a bunch Al

Also my deepest condolences to Margaret and all his loved ones.
My condolences and prayers for the family. This is a big loss for the audiophile community which he touched so many lives. RIP Almarg. You will be missed.
Margaret asked me to share the link below, should Audiogon Members want to sign the guestbook, send an online sympathy card, upload a photo, etc.
