The election for the 2010 Member of the Year has been our biggest yet. The number of voters rivals our 2008 turnout, and the number of candidates put forth eclipses all our previous contests. Thank you all for taking the time to submit your choice for this prestigious honour.
Before I name the winner, I need to make you all aware of the fine individuals whose names were submitted by you, the many members of Audiokarma.

As well, all the admins’ names were submitted, though we are not eligible. We thank you for the support.
Some of those names have been present on every year’s list, including all the previous honourees. Some are relative newcomers. All of you have been commended for your contributions to the Audiokarma community. On behalf of all the membership and staff of Audiokarma, I wish to thank you all for helping make Audiokarma.org the community it is and the finest audio website on the internet.
Folks, I have tallied up the votes for all the nominees for our 2010 Member of the Year. The winner is:
Alas, it is with great sadness that I declare Zilch our honouree, as this award is posthumous. Evan possessed a singular wit, unflinching character, strongly-held opinions, a passion for speaker design and the expertise to back it up. “More Data, Less Wank” wasn’t just a slogan; it was how he lived on Audiokarma. Many of us who may never build a pair of E-wave speakers read Zilch’s threads. He could converse at the highest technical level in one post, and, in the next, explain his point so that even I could understand. He taught me, and many others of his readers, a great deal about speakers. At the same time, his posts often provided ‘entertaining’ reading, much to the consternation of the moderation staff, me included. In spite of this, he led a community of DIYers whose work on the Indignia and the E-wave gained recognition and validation in the wider realm of speakerbuilding.
Zilch, may we always follow your example, and remain…
