Unfortunately, it has come to our attention that valued forum member sub has passed on earlier in the year.

His kind and gentle manner, (as well as his ability to sniff out an op shop bargain!) will be sorely missed.
Our condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

His Op Shop thread was mandatory reading.

I first met John in 2010 when I stole his Plinius Jarrah off of him.

The last time I saw him was when he was having treatment for his cancer in Auckland 2021.

I'm very grateful that he's passed on a few of his op shop finds to me. I'll always be reminded of him when I play any of the 22LP Wagner Ring Cycle!

Oh… Thought we hadn’t seen a post from him for a bit. Always interesting to read them.
RIP Sub, John.

I'm sad too to hear - read - that.

Thanks.

I remember, enjoyed, seeing photos of his listening room, the octagonal? house, the Kef 104's, placement, we had discussions here.

Not sure where they are now.

Wonder why he chose "sub".

Best wishes to family and friends.

How sad.

Met with him a couple of times, always a gentleman and always interesting.

RIP John

We will miss his valued input at DL
We had pm discussions on our ZenMini servers, purchased about the same time, a true gent and music devotee.

That's sad! Condolences to family and friends!

Vale Sub. I enjoyed reading his posts and was always impressed by his op shop scores. I've never had the patience.

Its good to hear that his daughter has inherited his music collection and his memory lives on each time she plays these records.
