Sue Kraft
Always enjoyed Sue's posts @ Audioasylum and still continued reading them even after deleating my account there. Anyway, though I never met her and only knew her through the WWW I will miss further/future posts/input from Sue (and the old ones weren't all about HiFi by a long shot-;). Here's to further... https://img.apmcdn.org/9863d16a97354080037f1d7638c38a607fe29b6c/uncropped/a782f7-20110901-pranksterb... |
Sorry to hear that. I remember her from AA and Absolute Sound. https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/?authors=23 |
Sorry to hear this! Sue was a good writer and she will be missed. Sue and I spent many hours on the phone as you can probably imagine. She still has two review samples of ours- a UV-1 preamp and the MP-3 preamp (Atma-Sphere is the brand name). They were both in need of update and we've been trying to get them back for a while, but in the last few months Sue was tricky to contact. There is also a set of Novacrons there but they do not belong to us. |
Please accept my condolences as well. Atmasphere's post brings up an important point, When Valerie Kurlychek (aka Anna Logg) passed away, I helped the family with selling her gear, and the first thing I did was check with the manufacturers of the gear to make sure it wasn't a loaner or a piece being reviewed. Those would have to be returned, not sold. Particularly check for the cables (speaker, interconnect and power), as some reviewers get numerous cables as loaners to help them in their reviews. |
Yesterday I found out about Sue's passing. It was a hard day already being the 15yr anniversary of my husband's death but my husband was an organ donor and Sue received his pancreas and a kidney. My heart broke all over again yesterday when I tried to call her and the number was disconnected. I never met Sue in person. She hunted down my phone number after the letter I wrote to the organ recipients. When we talked we'd talk for hours. She always said she felt a special bond between her and my husband. Not just because of the organs. They both loved music and equipment. The sad part is Sue lived in Green Bay, WI. I live only an hour south. Does anyone have a picture of Sue? I want to see the woman who brought me tears of joy and hope the last 15 years. Please contact me psboden202@yahoo.com -Pam Schneekloth Fly high my friend. Give Nate a hug for me. |
Hello Pam. I used to live up in Wisconsin (Rhinelander) and frequently visited a HiFi shop in Green Bay that from what I understand, Sue went to often. The times I was at the store I was always hoping to run into her there, but was never fortunate to do so. She obviously had a keen ear for good music and it's reproduction. Rest assured she's in a better place. Your husband gave the ultimate sacrifice and Sue was all the better for it. My condolances for the loss of your husband and friend Sue. |
