Anyone heard from Charles1dad ?


I realized recently that I hadn't seen any posts from Charles and when I looked it appears that he hasn't posted since last October. I sent him a PM but no reply. I hope that he's ok. He's a good man and I always enjoyed his contributions.

While we're speaking of valued members who haven't been heard from for a while, I have also been concerned about @jjss49. He is a very knowledgeable man as well as a kind and generous human. I once asked his advice on a particular tube, and he gave me two for free that were worth more than $1200, and he never even met me.

I actually understand if that's the way that Charles feels. Without really making a conscious decision, I've noticed that in the last few months I'm posting here much less frequently even though I'm retired now. When I realized and thought about it, I guess it's because a number of my favorite members are gone, and then there is the repetition of the same subjects with similar conclusions.

I felt the same after many years...

But i tried to introduce new musical content and reflections of my own...

I am tired to repeat my rant about acoustics or my rare news about a piece of gear...

i spoke a lot more about music...

 We must not wait for others content to entertain us but giving content of our own...

 I am active in Jazz thread and in another music threads... Less in gear thread...

I just bought a new cables, a new grounding devices (low cost) so what...

It is more interesting to speak about music...

I regret the disapearence of everybody though, even those i like less because i love individuals for what they are, nevermind my preferences for some...

Humanity grow with differences...

I read charles1dad posts with pleasure anyway...
