I'm so sad to have to report that we've lost one of our most enthusiastic long-time contributors to this thread. Steve Reinhardt - whom most of you will know from a variant of the nickname his father gave him when he was younger (@spook76) has passed away
Steve was a good friend of mine and will be missed in amounts not easy for me to put into words. He was a passionate fan of the best genre of music - prog rock. He loved Big Big Train, Steven Wilson, Cosmograf and, his favorite - Hackett-era Genesis. He had (strong!) opinions on almost everything and could talk the hind legs off a donkey. But he was also incredibly generous, knowledgeable and patiently willing to offer advice on everything from music (thanks for introducing me to Echolyn Steve!), politics and legal issues (his expertise), audio formats and, of course, audio equipment. When anybody jumped on this forum to claim some new headphone was superior to the KSE1500, he'd always tell me "I know how good the KSE1500 is. I don't care what anybody else says."
Echolyn once wrote a song about lying down and becoming a garden. I think Steve would approve of something similar... Steve's wife is planning on placing a bench in a New York park. If any of you knew Spook and would like to contribute to this memorial, please check out the following:

I know he'd love us to go sit on his bench and play some Echolyn on our KSE1500s.
R.I.P. buddy.
