Title: MAAC & AC Member DTB300 has passed away
Post by: jarcher on 9 Apr 2019, 01:57 am: Dan Shore aka DTB300 has passed away Friday after a long fight with cancer. He was not a heavy poster here, but those of us in the MAAC I’m sure have met him at some point and enjoyed his company. Though I got to know him late in life, he was one of my favorite “new friends” I made via AC. I always appreciated his casual and inviting style and irreverent wit. He was the opposite of the stuffy / snobby “audiophile”. I spent a number of pleasant visits with him over the years with R.Wasserstrom enjoying music and talking gear and life. And I learned some interesting things about computer audio I would never have believed from him.

RIP Dan : I’ll glow a 300B or 845 in remembrance of you.

Always enjoyed our talks at shows when he came in for a listen. Will be playing his test tracks this week at AXPONA on the setup in remembrance.

The first time I met him was years ago at Capital AudioFest, where he came to our room and happily donated a 6 pack of cold IPA's for enhancing our listening enjoyment!

Rest in Peace, Dan! You will be missed...

Pete

Post by: r.wasserstrom on 12 Apr 2019, 10:22 pm: I am so sad than Dan has passed. I first met him about five years ago at Jarcher's during a MAAC meet and we became fast friends. We shared great times together shooting the breeze (sometimes with Jarcher), listening to tunes, and discussing gear. He taught me much about computer audio; he did not have vinyl gear at home. Most importantly, he was a great guy who loved music. His musical tastes and mine diverged, but he had an open mind: I love jazz and he loved contemporary vocals and some "out there" music. He expanded my listening tastes and, I hope, I expanded his. I will miss him.
