More Data, Less Wank. A Eulogy for Zilch.

Chris should be able to get one

Shocked, saddened, grateful...

Does anyone have a photo?

I saw a great picture of a young Zilch with his new or almost new car in about 1970 at the lab. It's a cool picture - very period correct.:yes:
 
When it comes to participating, to helping, to contributing, Evan has set the bar high indeed.

You will be missed. RIP, old friend.
 
Wow. I had no idea Zilch was suffering from something so serious. I never knew him personally, but at this point, I wish I had. I always enjoyed reading his posts. He will always be remembered, especially whenever those EconoWaves play.

Rest in peace.
 
A person very generous of his time and talents. A sad day. I thank you for all of your contributions to this forum and you will be greatly missed.
 
This is incredibly shocking and sad news. I had very little direct interaction with him, but his posts demonstrated so much of what is good and possible in an online community. This is a very sad day, and my deepest sympathy and condolences go out to his loved ones.

:tears:

It's quite a legacy really... the number of forum members here and elsewhere who are listening to music via speakers/crossovers that he's developed would be massive.

This has motivated me to finally do the Zilch crossover mods to my Minimus 7's. Every time that I listen to them, I'll think of Zilch.
 
Well, well, well.

After recently losing a friend to cancer, now I lose my favourite protagonist to the same insidious disease. I enjoyed our little debates about the merits of JBL speakers. I remember him saying that he read my post regarding my delight with my JBL 4412s, with a great sense of satisfaction. I have to admit that much of the time, I was mostly pulling his leg and was being something of a provocateur, but of course he was sharp as a tack and well aware of that fact.

Most of his posts bordered on terse, to put it mildly, but nevertheless, his droll sense of humour was quite evident.

Zilch, I look forward to meeting you in person in a decade or two, at which time we can continue our debates.

Rest in Peace. And for once, do you think you can put away your oscilloscope?

Less Wank, More Data, indeed!
