Although I've not been a member of AA long, I knew of Dan's influence. Now after reading this thread I’m aware of the kind of man he was and saddened that I didn’t have the chance to know him better. Thank you to all who have posted so Dan’s memory can go on. My prayers and sympathy go out to Pete and others like him that knew him better. May God’s grace get you through these hard times.

I am just learning of this. I will miss his posts in the McIntosh forum, they were always a great read. Condolences to all those that knew him.

RIP Dan

Wow,
Dan was always fun to talk to. I called him maybe half a dozen times . He was always full of sage advice and always ready to troubleshoot my system over the phone. He told me what
Whole home surge protector to buy and made sure I knew how to tell the electrician to install it the right way. I will truly miss him.

Dan touched pretty much everyone here on AA. He will sorely be missed. Godspeed, Dan.

So sorry to hear of Dan's passing. I enjoyed his comments and reviews. And, he was helpful and responsive whenever I would reach out to the forum.

I haven't been very active on the forum for quite sometime and was shocked and saddened to read about Dan.

Dan sold me his 1968 McIntosh MA5100. Everything about Dan was class.

My sincere condolences to all of you who knew Dan much better than me.

I just saw this about Dan. I really enjoyed all of Dan's reviews. He was a great writer and a great supporter of McIntosh products. He will be greatly missed. Very sad news indeed.
