And one not afraid to speak his mind on controversial subjects, like MQA, which he thought was nonsense !! That, alone endeared him to me !!!
Also not afraid to make an ass of himself when he receives negative feedback. See his many YouTube and audio site comments. Talk about thin skin...
Maybe a little compassion is in order at this time. Just a thought for you to consider.
Respect. I am one of those who stand up for what we think is right, and I admire those who do the same - at any cost. RIP and thank you!
Dan31,
All the best to Charlie Hansen and his family. He did some great innovating for audio. In particular very good DACs and amps that I've heard.
That's completely separate from the Fremer integrity comments, mine were 100% true and genuine.
WRT your comment - I never insulted you so shut it big mouth keyboard warrior.
