Its with great sadness that I report the death of Laryzh. Many of you will remember Lars from the last forum:

I met Lars a few times, and had spoke with him around September. He was one of nature's true gents, a lovely lovely fella, who loved his SME and Linn TTs and had an appreciation of many different types of music. Remember how many of those close up pics of album covers he used to get in the pics thread on the old forum?
Anyway, Lars got a sudden bad cancer diagnosis, and was not in great physical shape when I last spoke to him in September. When we talked he told me he had come to terms with the diagnosis, and had no fear for himself, but of course was distraught at the grief that his family and partner would have to go through. He really was quite a remarkable person, I don't know how he did it. I can tell you, as I'm sure many others here can too, cancer is a terrifying thing. I was practically in tears as he told me in hushed tones that he hoped to see Christmas and to spend as long as possible at home... the hushed tones were so that his partner in the next room wouldn't hear him talking about it and be upset..... even amid the sadness, his thoughts were of those close to him.
Sadly as you can see from the obit, he didn't make Christmas.
Lars, I raise a glass to you, I hope you are happy where you are now and can get to enjoy great analogue. May your anti-skate always be accurate and your needle be finely aligned in the groove.
